Towards a full Heusler alloy showing room temperature half-metallicity at the surface — •Mirko Cinchetti¹, Jan-Peter Wüstenberg¹, Andrés Conca², Martin Jourdan², and Martin Aeschlimann¹ — ¹University of Kaiserslautern, Institute of Physics, Erwin-Schrödingerstr. 46, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany — ²University of Mainz, Institute of Physics, Staudinger Weg 7, 55128 Mainz, Germany

The spin polarization at the surface region of a 100 nm Co₂Cr_0.6Fe_0.4Al film grown epitaxially on MgO(100) with a 10 nm Fe buffer layer has been investigated by means of spin resolved photoemission. We show that a careful in situ preparation of the sample surface leads to reproducible values for the room temperature spin polarization up to 45% at the Fermi level. To our knowledge, this is the highest value measured so far at the surface region of a full Heusler alloy at room temperature.
