Investigation of Magnetic and Transport Properties of Co2FeSi Spin Glass Heusler Alloy Under Extreme Conditions

Here, we report the experimental investigations on magnetic (spin polarization and exchange bias) and transport (spin-flip and spin-flop) properties of Co₂FeSi Heusler compound at cryo temperature and high magnetic field. The spin cluster characteristic of the material is revealed by the M[T] curve of the ZFC, FC, and FW cycles. This can exhibit spin polarization behavior of anti-ferromagnetism (AFM) at 30–70?K. Furthermore, at a critical field of 0.2?T, AFM transforms into ferromagnetic (FM) and on further increasing the magnetic field, the spin polarization region becomes linear due to perseverance of FM behavior. The isothermal magnetization [M(H)] are also evaluated at different temperatures and AFM to FM transition has been observed at various applied magnetic fields. These magnetic measurements are used to determine exchange bias [EB] parameters such as H_E, H_C, and M_r both at low and room temperature. The resistivity [ρ(T)] has been measured at 0 and 5?T field, which explain the increasing trend of metallic nature at cooling cycle and also provides a clear evidence of magnonic, phononic resistivity and spin-flip scattering.
