We report the effects of strain on the structural and magnetic properties of epitaxial Mn5Ge3 on Ge/Si (111) substrate by applying ms-range flash lamp annealing (FLA). The X-ray diffraction results demonstrate that during the FLA process the formation of nonmagnetic secondary phases of Mnx*5Gey*3 is fully suppressed but the layer becomes strained. The temperature-dependent magnetization results indicate that the Curie temperature of Mn5Ge3 increases from 280 K up to 400 K with increasing annealing temperature. The biaxial strain generated in Mn5Ge3 during ms-range FLA modifies the distance between adjacent Mn atoms, which provokes the different ferromagnetic interaction between them. Consequently, the significant increase of Curie temperature is observed.
