The interaction between magnetic domain walls (DW) and spin waves is much attractive from the viewpoint of physical interests and applications. The full Heusler compound Co2Mn0.6Fe0.4Si (CMFS) is one of the suitable materials to investigate it because of its long decay length of spin waves. For the advance of the research, we have characterized domain structures and DWs in CMFS. The micro structures were fabricated from CMFS film with 30 nm thickness sputtered on MgO substrate by electron beam lithography and ion etching. The magnetic domain structure and DWs in CMFS were directly observed by using magnetic force microscopy. We found that in a square pad the Landau closure domain was formed by oscillatory reducing the external field to zero. In addition, the creation of a single DW in an L-shaped wire was performed. The effect of excited spin waves on these domain structures will be discussed. T.K. gratefully acknowledges the Alexander von Humboldt foundation for a postdoctoral fellowship.
