Probing the magnetic structure of Co2FexMn1-xSi thin films by XAS/XMCD
Abstract
We have analyzed the magnetic configuration for highly ordered epitaxial thin films across the Co2FexMn1-xSi compositional series (x = 0, 0.3, 0.7, 1) by x-ray circular magnetic dichroism (XMCD) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). These measurements give the element-specific electronic structure of each film, as well as the spin and orbital moments. We will present our observations at the Co, Mn, and Fe L-edges to explain the significant changes in intermediate stoichiometries as compared with the parent Co2MnSi and Co2FeSi systems.
