Abstract

We demonstrate the epitaxial growth of ferromagnetic full-Heusler alloy Fe₂MnSi layers on group-IV semiconductor Ge(111) using molecular beam epitaxy at the growth temperatures of 130 and 200 °C. The Fe ₂MnSi/Ge (111) layers have an atomic-scale abrupt interface and include the ordered L2₁ phase. We also show ferromagnetic features with a saturation magnetization of ∼2.2 μB /f.u. and a Curie temperature of ∼210 K, which are nearly comparable to those of bulk Fe₂MnSi.
