Abstract
Recently, theorists have predicted many materials with a low magnetic moment and large spin-polarization for spintronic applications such as high-density non-volatile random access memory. These compounds are predicted to form in the inverse Heusler structure, however, many of these compounds have been found to phase segregate. In this study, ordered Cr2CoGa thin films were synthesized without phase segregation using molecular beam epitaxy. The present films exhibit a low magnetic moment from antiferromagnetically coupled Cr and Co atoms as measured with SQUID magnetometry and soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism.Citation
