Resonant x-ray emission spectra of Mn based Heusler alloys

arXiv:cond-mat/0203169

Abstract

The Mn L_2,L_3 x-ray spectra of the Cu_2MnAl and Co_2MnZ (Z=Al,Ga, Sn, Sb) Heusler alloys have been investigated by the Resonant X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (RXES) using linearly polarized monochromatic synchrotron radiation for. The interplay between the half-metallic character of the Mn 3d electronic structure in connection with the local magnetic moment and Mn x-ray emission spectra is discussed.
