  • CoFe-based heusler alloy and spintronics devices using the same
    Patent number: 9336937
    Abstract: To realize a spintronics device with high performance, it is an object of the present invention to provide a Co2Fe-based Heusler alloy having a spin polarization larger than 0.65, and a high performance spintronics devices using the same. A Co2Fe(GaxGe1-x) Heusler alloy shows a spin polarization higher than 0.65 by a PCAR method in a region of 0.25<x<0.60 and it has a Curie temperature as high as 1288K. A CPP-GMR device that uses the Co2Fe(GaxGe1-x) Heusler alloy as an electrode exhibits the world's highest MR ratio, an STO device exhibits high output, and an NLSV device exhibits a high spin signal.
