The class of Cobalt-based full Heusler compounds combines high Curie temperatures and spin polarizations with a lower Gilbert damping than most conventional 3d-ferromagnets [1]. These material parameters make them promising candidates in the emerging field of magnon spintronics. In this concept, information is transferred and processed via magnons - the excitations of the magnetic system - without flow of electronic currents. Here we present the first observation of spin dynamics in a microstructured Heusler waveguide using Brillouin light scattering microscopy. The low magnetic losses estimated by FMR measurements [2] have been confirmed by the increase of the observed propagation distances (up to 80 µ m, with an exponential decay length of at least 10 µ m) compared to the commonly used Ni81Fe19.
