Abstract
The main objectives of this project are the growth and study of a special class of Heusler nanowires (Co2FeY (Y = Al, Ga, Sn)), fabricated using the novel technique called metallic-flux nanonucleation (MFNN). Among the most interesting material from the magnetic point of view, the Heusler compounds present unique properties (spin current polarization for spintronics, shape memory effect, …
