For future applications of magnetisation dynamics, materials with low Gilbert damping are indispensable. Co2Mn-based Heusler compounds are considered excellent candidates as they combine high saturation magnetisation, high Curie temperature, half-metallicity and ultralow Gilbert damping, especially when grown epitaxially with decent control over stoichiometry to ensure the desired chemical ordering [1]. However, downscaling towards microstructures is a challenge in which the fabrication of high-quality ultrathin films with consistent excellent properties is a crucial step. We succeeded in the epitaxial growth of high-quality Co2MnSi Heusler films in the thickness range of 4-44 nm for all of which the half-metallicity was confirmed [2]. Consequently, an ultralow Gilbert damping was obtained for the whole series reaching down to 7.8×10-4 for the 8 nm film. Coupling effects and magnetisation dynamics in heterostructures are currently under investigation.
