β¦ Synopsis
Point contact Andreev reflection measurements of Co 2 MnSn 1Γx Ga x alloys showed that the spin polarization of L2 1 ordered quaternary Co 2 MnSn 0.5 Ga 0.5 compound increased to 0.72 compared to 0.6 for Co 2 MnSn and Co 2 MnGa ternary alloys. The L2 1 Co 2 MnSn 0.5 Ga 0.5 phase was found to be an intermetallic compound, in which the L2 1 structure was stable up to the melting temperature. The increase in spin polarization was attributed to the high degree of L2 1 order as well as an increase in the spin-up density of states near the Fermi level.

## Abstract In this work the basic strategies for the preparation of Co~2~Mn~0.5~Fe~0.5~Si as an example for Heusler alloy thin films will be described. Texture and magnetic properties of these films will be discussed, especially with regard to different buffer layers and annealing temperatures. Fi
Electronic and magnetic properties of the bulk Co 2 Ti 1 Γ x Fe x Ga Heusler alloys and Co 2 Ti 0.5 Fe 0.5 Ga (0 0 1) surfaces are studied within the framework of density functional theory using the augmented plane wave plus local orbital (APWΓΎ lo) approach. It will be shown that all alloys have the
