Claim:
1. A layered Heusler alloy, comprising: a first layer comprising a first Heusler alloy with a face-centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure; a second layer comprising a second Heusler alloy with a fcc crystal structure, the second Heusler alloy being different than the first Heusler alloy; wherein the first layer and the second layer are layered along a layering direction, the layering direction being the [110] or [111] direction of the fcc crystal structure, thereby forming the layered Heusler alloy; wherein the layered Heusler alloy has a magnetocrystalline anisotropy of greater than 0 J/m wherein the layered Heusler alloy has a Fermi level and a gapped spin-channel with a gap, and wherein the Fermi level of the layered Heusler alloy falls within the gap of the gapped spin-channel of the layered Heusler alloy.
