Investigation of Co2FeSi: The Heusler compound with highest Curie temperature and magnetic moment

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: This work reports on structural and magnetic investigations of the Heusler compound Co2FeSi. X-ray diffraction and Mößbauer spectrometry indicate an ordered L21 structure. Magnetic measurements by means of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and magnetometry revealed that this compound is, currently, the material with the highest magnetic moment (6μB) and Curie temperature (1100K) in the classes of Heusler compounds as well as half-metallic ferromagnets.
