Heusler alloys have attracted a considerable attention in recent years since they are predicted to be halfmetallic ferromagnets. Possible 100% spin polarization of their conduction electrons together with high magnetic moments and high values of the Curie temperature give them a significant potential for spintronics applications. In order to create a fast switching and thermally stable spintronic device one should be able to control a magneto-crystalline anisotropy and a Gilbert damping of the used material. One of the most informative experimental methods to study magneto-crystalline anisotropy and Gilbert damping is frequency tunable ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). In this work we present a first study of magneto-crystalline anisotropy and Gilbert damping using a unique high frequency FMR technique where the response is detected by the micro-cantilever.
