Abstract:
This work reports on structural and magnetic investigations of the
Heusler compound Co2FeSi. X-ray diffraction and Mo beta bauer
spectrometry indicate an ordered L2(1) 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 (6 mu(B)) and Curie temperature (1100 K) in the classes of
Heusler compounds as well as half-metallic ferromagnets. (c) 2006
