Abstract:
The influence of 30 keV He+ ion irradiation on structural, electronic,
and magnetic properties of Co2MnSi thin films with a partial B2 order
was investigated. It was found that room temperature irradiation with
light ions can improve the local chemical order. This provokes changes
of the electronic structure and element-specific magnetization toward
the bulk properties of a well-ordered Co2MnSi Heusler compound.
