Structure, magnetic properties and electrical resistivity of Co2FeSi1−xGax Heusler alloy thin films

Controllable Structure and Magnetic Properties of Co2FeGa Films Prepared by Electrodeposition

“…), which is comparable with or even higher than the theoretical value of 5.0 μ B for the Co 2 FeGa compound. 2 Compared with the Ms of bulk Co 2 FeGa (115.8 emu g −1 ) prepared by arc melting 22 and the Ms of Co 2 FeGa film (98 emu g −1 ) 23 prepared by magnetron sputtering, the Ms of sample pH7 is higher. Moreover, in our samples, the variation of the grain size with pH may contribute to the variation of Ms. As shown before, with the pH increases from 5 to 7, the grain size of the samples increases.…”
