NiMn-X ferromagnetic shape memory alloys have been gaining interest for various applications. For microelectronic devices these alloys have to be made available as thin films. The properties of these films are dominated by the microstructure and especially the interfaces between different layers.

For this study thin film samples of NiMnGa-NiMnSn grown on MgO or Si substrates were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The system was covered with an additional layer of Ag or Ni for protection. Then needle shaped specimens, as required for atom probe tomography, were cut out by means of focused ion beam preparation. The NiMnGa-NiMnSn interface and the MgO-metal interface were characterized with a Local Electrode Atom Probe (LEAP) 4000 HR and a Laser Assisted Wide Angle Tomographic Atom Probe (LAWATAP).
