Analysis of L21-ordering and study of properties on Co-based Heusler thin film samples — •Enrique Vilanova Vidal1, Tanja Graf2, Claudia Felser2, and Gerhard Jakob11Institut für Physik, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz — 2Institut für Anorganische und Analytische Chemie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz

Heusler alloys have been intensively investigated because they are promising materials for use in spin-dependent devices. Their half-metallic properties are strongly related with the presence of L21, B2 and fully disordered A2 structure. However, a rigorous method to study the proportions of these different ordering states is still missing. Sputtered thin epitaxial Co2FeSi0.6Al0.4, Co2FeGa0.5Ge0.5 and Co2MnAl films have been prepared. These films were grown on MgO (100) with and without MgO buffer layer under UHV conditions and at different substrates temperatures. The deposition procedure is discussed, and the degree of L21 order as well as transport and magnetic properties are analyzed.
