Abstract

The Heusler compound Co2FeSi is a prospective half-metallic material for spintronic applications. Defects and antisite disordering play a crucial role among the factors reducing spin polarization in such materials. To clarify effects of possible off-stoichiometry, a continuous series of model solid solutions Co3−xFexSi (0.6≤x≤1.4) was investigated by F57e Mössbauer spectroscopy and C59o nuclear magnetic resonance. It has been shown that the hyperfine magnetic fields on Fe can be used to monitor Co–Fe disordering in Co2FeSi-based bulk samples and thin films.
