Half-metallicity, low magnetic damping and high Curie temperatures (TC) are crucial for application in spintronics and full Heusler alloys are promising in this regard.

AbstractFerromagnetic materials exhibiting low magnetic damping (α) and moderately high-saturation magnetization are required from the viewpoints of generation, transmission, and detection of spin waves. Since spin-to-charge conversion efficiency is another important parameter, high spin mixing conductance $$({g_{r}^{\uparrow \downarrow}})$$ ( g r ↑ ↓ ) is the key for efficient spin-to-charge conversion. Full Heusler alloys, e.g., Co2Fe0.4Mn0.6Si (CFMS), which are predicted to be 100% spin-polarized, exhibit low α. However, $$g_r^{ \uparrow \downarrow }$$ g r ↑ ↓ at the interface between CFMS and a paramagnet is not fully understood. Here, we report investigations of spin pumping and the inverse spin Hall effect in CFMS/Pt bilayers. Damping analysis indicates the presence of significant spin pumping at the interface of CFMS and Pt, which is also confirmed by the detection of an inverse spin Hall voltage. We show that in CFMS/Pt, $$g_r^{ \uparrow \downarrow }$$ g r ↑ ↓ (1.70 × 1020 m−2) and the interface transparency (83%) are higher than the values reported for other ferromagnetic/heavy metal systems. We observed a spin Hall angle of ~0.026 for the CFMS/Pt bilayer system.

<p>In this work, we report on a systematic first-principles study of the structural, electronic, vibrational and thermodynamic properties of the cubic Fe<sub>2</sub>NiAl and tetragonally distorted Co<sub>2</sub>NiAl full Heusler compounds. We discuss systematically the competition between the inverse Heusler structure and a T<i><sup>p</sup></i>-type layered atomic ordering formed by the alternating planes of (Fe,Co) and Ni atoms in terms of the electronic and vibrational density of states.</p> <p>Such an arrangement is predicted to be the ground state of Fe<sub>2</sub>NiAl. For Co<sub>2</sub>NiAl, layered ordering has slightly higher energy in comparison with the inverse one, however, we show that it might be stabilized at rather low temperatures.</p> <p> </p> <p>Due to the broken symmetry, layered T<i><sup>p</sup></i>-Fe<sub>2</sub>NiAl possesses a large MAE of the same order as tetrataenite FeNi - even in a phase with cubic lattice parameters, which makes a T<i><sup>p</sup></i>-type layered order an interesting feature for rare-earth free permanent magnets in Heusler-type compounds.</p>
