In particular, Fe2VAl (x = 0.33) has a deep, well-developed pseudogap of 0.1-0.2 eV at EF and a small density (?5 × 1020 cm-3) of carriers, which is highly unusual for intermetallic compounds. It is shown that the pseudogap results from the band structure of Fe2VAl, rather than from temperature-dependent correlation effects. Based on the present results, we propose a simple model that consistently explains both the semiconductorlike transport and the metallic photoemission results previously observed for Fe2VAl., application/pdf}, pages = {3674--3677}, title = {Pseudogap Formation in the Intermetallic Compounds (Fe1-x Vx)3Al}, volume = {84}, year = {2000} }
