Electronic structure and Magnetic Properties of Epitaxial Co2FeAl Heusler Films.
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD).
Fe- and Co L2,3 edges show a pronounced magnetic dichroic signal in remanence.
Calculated Orbital, Spin and total magnetic moments of Fe and Co for 30 nm Co2FeAl thin film.
The total magnetic moment of Fe at L2,3 edges increases with the thickness of the Co2FeAl films.
