Cobalt-based full-Heusler compounds with composition Co 2 M'Z (where M'is a transition
metal and Z is a main group element) are attracting attention due to their predicted half …

A tenet of special relativity is that no particle can exceed the speed of light. In certain
magnetic materials, the maximum magnon group velocity serves as an analogous relativistic …

In the emerging field of magnonics, spin waves are foreseen as signal carriers for future
spintronic information processing and communication devices, owing to both the very low …

Brillouin light scattering (BLS) has been established as a standard technique to study
thermally excited sound waves with frequencies up to~ 100 GHz in transparent materials. In …

A characterization of the magnetic properties of amorphous Co 40 Fe 40 B 20 thin films,
developed for low damping applications in magnon spintronics, using vector network …

Various recent experiments have proven the theoretical prediction that domain walls in
planar magnetic structures can channel spin waves as magnonic waveguides, establishing …

By FP-LAPW calculations, the structural, elastic, Debye and Curie temperatures, electronic
and magnetic properties of Co 2 VAl are investigated. The results indicate that …

A series of Al and MgO-capped Co 2 FeAl 0. 5 Si 0. 5 epitaxial thin films grown on MgO with
various levels of L2 1 ordering was obtained by in situ annealing. The films were studied by …

Heusler alloys have been intensively studied due to the wide variety of properties that they
exhibit. One of these properties is of particular interest for technological applications, ie, the …

Using Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, we determine the spin-wave exchange stiffness
