The Heusler alloy family contains several compounds considered to be prime candidates to be integrated as magnetic electrode into high-performance spintronic devices. Some of these alloys indeed exhibit high Curie temperatures, have been predicted theoretically to be half-metallic, and display a low Gilbert damping parameter. Nevertheless, the experimental results are generally less convincing than those reported numerically.The first part of this thesis is devoted to the ab initio study of hypotheses that are usually used to explain the differences between experimental and theoretical results. Calculations, based on the density functional theory, are then used to understand the impact of structural defects (partial chemical disorders, te...
