High L21-atomic ordering and spin-polarization in Co2MnZ (Z = Ge, Sn) Heusler thin films with low-temperature annealing process

Although an enhanced magnetoresistance (MR) has been observed in many Co2-based Heusler alloys by promoting their structural ordering from B2 to L21 by post-annealing at higher temperatures (Tann > 500 °C), it is desirable to search for other Heusler alloys that crystallize in L21-order below 300...
