Abstract
Epitaxial Co2FeAl films with the thickness varying from 26.4 nm to 4.6 nm were grown on MgO(001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Spin rectification was adopted to study the dynamic magnetic properties of the Co2FeAl films, considering the reported advantages of this technique with high thickness-independent sensitivity on samples. At a fixed microwave frequency, the in-plane angular dependent resonance fields and their linewidths exhibit a superposition of a uniaxial and a fourfold anisotropy for all samples. The results reveal an anisotropic damping behavior of the films. Along in-plane different azimuths of the films, frequency-dependent resonance-field linewidths were investigated. The anisotropic effective damping of the films with the thickness varying from 26.4 nm to 4.6 nm was then analyzed, which is contributed from the two-magnon scattering.
