摘要
Epitaxial Co2FeAl films were synthesized using the Biased Target Ion Beam Deposition technique. Post annealing yielded Co2FeAl films with an improved B2 chemical ordering. Both the magnetization and the Gilbert damping parameter were reduced with increased B2 ordering. A low damping parameter, similar to 0.002, was attained in B2 ordered Co2FeAl films without the presence of the L2(1) Heusler phase, which suggests that the B2 structure is sufficient for providing low damping in Co2FeAl. The spin polarization was similar to 53% and was insensitive to the chemical ordering. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
