摘要: This work reports on the structural and magnetic properties of Mn2.7−xFexGa1.3 Heusler films with different Fe content x (0 ≤ 1.2). The were deposited heteroepitaxially MgO single crystal substrates, by magnetron sputtering. thickness 35 nm crystallized in a tetragonal D022 structure (001) preferred orientation. Tunable achieved changing x. thin exhibit high uniaxial anisotropy Ku ≥ 1.4 MJ/m3, coercivity from 0.95 to 0.31 T, saturation magnetization 290 570 kA/m. film Mn1.6Fe1.1Ga1.3 composition shows 1.47 MJ/m3 energy product (BH)max 37 kJ/m3 at room temperature. These findings demonstrate that have promising for mid-range permanent magnet spintronic applications.
