Intrinsically dominated anomalous Hall effect in pulsed laser deposited epitaxial Co2MnGe ferromagnetic full Heusler
1Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi New Delhi 110016 India kumarsunil@physics.iitd.ac.in.
Abstract:
Large size epitaxial thin films of ferromagnetic Co2MnGe full Heusler alloy are grown over MgO(100) substrate by using pulsed laser deposition technique under optimized growth conditions. Metallic behavior is confirmed from the longitudinal resistivity-temperature data, while a minimum in the resistivity at ∼25 K is attributed to the disorder-induced weak localization effect. Importantly, a dominating intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity value of ∼21 S cm-1 against an overall anomalous Hall conductivity value of ∼36 S cm-1 at the room temperature has been estimated for the epitaxial Co2MnGe film. The dominating intrinsic mechanism is also evident from the near temperature-independent behavior of the overall anomalous Hall conductivity.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
