摘要：
The electronic and magnetic states of an epitaxially grown full-Heusler alloy Co2MnSi (CMS) 1.1 nm (4 ML) thick ultrathin film and a CMS 50-nm-thick film both facing an epitaxial MgO(001) tunnel barrier were element-specifically studied by means of x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The observed XAS and XMCD spectra revealed that both the CMS films were not oxidized. The Co and Mn spin magnetic moments for the 4 ML thick CMS film obtained by applying the sum rules were close to those for the 50-nm-thick one and the theoretical values for bulk CMS with the L2(1) structure. These results indicate that 4 ML thick CMS ultrathin films facing a MgO barrier still retain the electronic and magnetic states for the L2(1) structure. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
