Abstract

Low temperature epitaxial growth of the full Heusler alloy Fe 2MnSi layers on Ge(l 11) substrates has been investigated. RBS measurements revealed that good crystallinity of Fe2MnSi layers was realized at 200°C. In addition, a TEM image of a Fe2MnSi layer grown at 200°C demonstrated a very sharp interface. Moreover, identical symmetrical structures of electron diffraction patterns were obtained from the Fe2MnSi layer and the Ge substrate, which confirmed formation of a single crystalline epitaxial Fe2MnSi layer on Ge. These results will be very attractive for Si-based spintronics applications.
