Influence of disorder on magnetic properties and intrinsic anomalous hall effect in epitaxial Co2FeAl film

We have investigated the influence of disorder on magnetic properties and intrinsic anomalous Hall effects in epitaxial single crystalline full Heusler alloy Co2FeAl. The magnetic properties in both ordered and disordered films are proved by X ray absorption spectroscopy and X ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements. Using a proper scaling, we have extracted the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) of the films. The intrinsic AHC in the as deposited films is thickness dependent, but in the annealed ones the value is nearly constant, which is ascribed to modified the Fermi surface due to disordering.
