A half-metallic antiferromagnetic material that is chemically stable and has a stable magnetic structure is provided. A half-metallic antiferromagnetic material according to the present invention is a compound that has a crystal structure of a nickel arsenic type, a zinc blende type, a wurtzite type, a chalcopyrite type or a rock salt type and is constituted of two or more magnetic elements and a chalocogen or a pnictogen. The two or more magnetic elements contain a magnetic element having fewer than 5 effective d electrons and a magnetic element having more than 5 effective d electrons, and a total number of effective d electrons of the two or more magnetic elements is 10 or a value close to 10. |
