Recently half-metallic full-Heusler alloy films have attracted significant interests for spintronics devices. As these alloys have been known to have a high spin polarization, very large TMR ratio is expected in magnetic tunnel junctions. Among these alloys, $Co_2MnSi$ full-Heusler alloy with a high spin polarization and a high Curie temperature is considered a good candidate as an electrode material for spintronic devices. In this study, the magnetic and structural properties of $Co_2MnSi$ Heusler alloy films were investigated. TMR characteristics of magnetic tunnel junctions with a $Co_2MnSi/SiO_2/CoFe$ structure were studied. A maximum MR ratio of 39% with $SiO_2$ substrates and 27% with MgO(100) substrates were obtained. The lower MR ratio than expectation is considered due to off-stoichiometry and atomic disorder of $Co_2MnSi$ electrode together with oxidation of the electrode layer.

The magneto-optical properties of Co/Co$_2$TiSn two-phase magnet films were studied. These films show that relatively large Kerr rotations which are -0.4 deg. at the wavelength of 400 nm, compared to that of pure Co. It is conceivable that the magneto-optical effects may be due to both contributions of ferromagnetic Co matrix and ferromagnetic Co$_2$TiSn Heusler alloy precipitate. The perpendicular magnetization curve domonstrates a typical bubble domain hysteresis loop. the saturation magnetization change of the annealed film is less sensitive to temperature in the low temperature region and the Curie temperature of Co$_2$TiSn Heusler alloy precipitate is a little higher in the annealed film. These can be explained by the increase of the number of Co-Co exchange interaction in Heusler alloy structure resulting from the change of chemical ordering by annealing.

호이슬러 구조의 대표적 반쪽금속인, $Co_2MnSi$에서 에너지 간격이 생기는 원인을 실제적인 전자구조 계산을 통해 검토하기 위해 호이슬러 구조에서 부분을 이루는 zinc-blende 구조의 CoMn과 하프 호이슬러 구조를 가진 CoMnSi, 그리고 가상적인 화합물인 $Co_2Mn$의 전자구조를 제일원리 방법을 통해 계산하였다. 각 화합물에서 계산된 상태밀도를 이용하여 띠 혼성이나 에너지 간격 등을 고찰한 결과 $Co_2MnSi$에서 에너지 간격이 생기는 원인이 Galanakis 등이 설명한 방식이 그대로 적용되지 않았으며, Si 원자의 역할 또한 중요함을 알게 되었다. 각 화합물에서 얻은 다수스핀과 소수스핀 전자수를 통해 이들 화합물의 자성도 고찰하였다.

The authors predicted that $Co_2HfSi$, a $Co_2$-based full Heusler alloy, is being a half-metallic ferromagnet by first-principles calculations using the all electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method which adopts the generalized gradient approximation. The integer value of the calculated total magnetic moment of 2.00 ${\mu}_B$ per formula unit and a spin gap of 0.69 eV in spin down state confirmed the half-metallicity of bulk $Co_2HfSi$. For the $Co_2HfSi$(001) surface, we considered two possible surface terminations, namely, Co terminated and HfSi terminated surfaces. It was found that half-metallicity was retained at the HfSi-terminated surface but not at the Co-terminated surface. The magnetic moment of surface Co atoms in the Co-terminated surface was slightly lower than that of Co atoms in deep inner-layers, whereas the magnetic moments of Hf and Si atoms at the HfSi-terminated surface were almost same as those in deep inner-layers.

This study reports on Co/$Co_2$MnSn two-phase magnets. The Co/$Co_2$MnSn two-phase magnet has Co precipitates in a $Co_2MnSn$ Heusler alloy matrix, in which the two phases are exchange-coupled at the phase boundary. The as-casted Co/$Co_2$MnSn system, which has Co-Mn solid solution precipitates in a $Co_2$MnSn Heusler alloy matrix, showed that the Co solid solution precipitates are crystallographically coherent and there is exchange coupling at the phase boundary. To form pure Co precipitates by removal of Mn solute atoms in Co-Mn solid solution, annealing was carried out 48 hours at $870^{\circ}C$. After annealing, the low $T_c$ and low magnetization phase of the Co-Mn solid solution became a high $T_c$ and high magnetization phase of hexagonal Co.

본 연구에서는 Heusler $Fe_2VAl$ 열전화합물을 제조하기 위하여 순금속 $Fe_{50}V_{25}Al_{25}$ 혼합분말을 기계적 합금화 처리하였다. $Fe_2VAl$ 열전화합물을 얻기 위하여 최적 볼밀조건 및 열처리 조건을 X선 회절분석과 시차주사 열량분석을 이용하여 조사하였다. $Fe_{50}V_{25}Al_{25}$ 혼합분말을 60시간까지 볼밀 처리한 경우 bcc 구조의 ${\alpha}$-(Fe,V,Al) 고용체가 얻어졌다. 단상의 Heusler $Fe_2VAl$ 화합물은 $Fe_{50}V_{25}Al_{25}$ 혼합분말을 60시간 동안 MA 처리 후 $700^{\circ}C$까지 열처리함으로써 얻을 수 있었다. MA 분말시료의 치밀화를 위하여 인가압력 60 MPa 및 소결온도 $900{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$에서 흑연다이를 사용하여 SPS 소결을 실시하였다. $1000^{\circ}C$에서 SPS 소결 후 얻어진 벌크체의 Vickers 경도는 870으로 매우 높은 값을 보였다. 또한 SPS 법으로 얻어진 벌크체의 밀도측정 결과, 모든 시료에서 상대밀도 90 % 이상의 금속광택을 나타내는 치밀한 소결체임을 알 수 있었다.
