Influence of chemical ordering on magnetocrystalline anisotropy and magnetoelastic properties in Weyl magnetic semimetal Co2MnGa thin films (opens in new tab)

The magnetic anisotropy and magnetoelastic properties of the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co2MnGa were investigated in the Co2MnGa thin films with different chemical orderings. Their properties change, in line with the increase in the contents of the highly-ordered B2 and L21 phases. The most significant changes of both the magnetic anisotropy and the magnetoelastic properties were correlated with the appearance of the L21 ordered phase of Heusle...
