Abstract:
Co2FeSi crystallizes in the ordered L2(1) structure as proven by x-ray
diffraction and Mo beta bauer spectroscopy. The magnetic moment of
Co2FeSi was measured to be about 6 mu(B) at 5 K. Magnetic circular
dichroism spectra excited by soft x-rays were taken to determine the
element-specific magnetic moments of Co and Fe. The Curie temperature
was measured with different methods to be (1100 +/- 20)K. Co2FeSi was
found to be the Heusler compound as well as the half-metallic
ferromagnet with the highest magnetic moment and Curie temperature. (C)
