Thin highly textured Fe$_{mathrm{1+x}}$Co$_{mathrm{2-x}}$Si ($0 leq$ x $leq 1$) films were prepared on MgO (001) substrates by magnetron co-sputtering. The magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements were used to investigate the composition dependence of the magnetization, the magnetic anisotropy, the gyromagnetic ratio and the relaxation of the films. The effective magnetization for the thin Fe$_{mathrm{1+x}}$Co$_{mathrm{2-x}}$Si films, determined by FMR measurements, are consistent with the Slater Pauling prediction. Both MOKE and FMR measurements reveal a pronounced fourfold anisotropy distribution for all films. In addition we found a strong influence of the stoichiometry on the anisotropy as the cubic anisotropy strongly increases with increasing Fe concentration. The gyromagnetic ratio is only weakly dependent on the composition. We find low Gilbert damping parameters for all films with values down to $0.0012pm0.00012$ for Fe$_{1.75}$Co$_{1.25}$Si. The effective damping parameter for Co$_2$FeSi is found to be $0.0018pm 0.0004$. We also find a pronounced anisotropic relaxation, which indicates significant contributions of two-magnon scattering processes that is strongest along the easy axes of the films. This makes thin Fe$_{mathrm{1+x}}$Co$_{mathrm{2-x}}$Si films ideal materials for the application in STT-MRAM devices.
Tailoring Gilbert damping of metallic ferromagnetic thin films is one of the central interests in spintronics applications. Here we report a giant Gilbert damping anisotropy in epitaxial Co$_{50}$Fe$_{50}$ thin film with a maximum-minimum damping rat
We report on broadband ferromagnetic resonance linewidth measurements performed on epitaxial Heusler thin films. A large and anisotropic two-magnon scattering linewidth broadening is observed for measurements with the magnetization lying in the film
The Gilbert damping of ferromagnetic materials is arguably the most important but least understood phenomenological parameter that dictates real-time magnetization dynamics. Understanding the physical origin of the Gilbert damping is highly relevant
We report an enhanced magnetoelastic contribution to the Gilbert damping in highly magnetostrictive Fe$_{0.7}$Ga$_{0.3}$ thin films. This effect is mitigated for perpendicular-to-plane fields, leading to a large anisotropy of the Gilbert damping in a
The effects of rhenium doping in the range 0 to 10 atomic percent on the static and dynamic magnetic properties of Fe65Co35 thin films have been studied experimentally as well as with first principles electronic structure calculations focusing on the
