In spin-orbitronic devices, non-collinear antiferromagnets (AFM) such as Mn3Ir are used as active spin current injection electrodes for an efficient charge to spin current conversion [1]. Here we present a detailed procedure for the preparation of high-quality epitaxial thin films of cubic Mn3Ir (AFM) and Ni3Fe (FM) heterostructures. A comprehensive study of the crystal structure is performed using X-ray diffraction and high-resolution TEM imaging. Dynamic magnetic excitation studies of Mn3Ir/Ni3Fe heterostructures confirm the strong dependence of Gilbert damping and interfacial spin structure on the antiferromagnetic film thickness. Furthermore, we also reveal the role of AFM/FM interface spin-current transparency, which is pivotal for the spin Hall effect (SHE). [1] W.
