Abstract
The ferromagnetic Heusler alloy Ni2MnIn has been grown on InAs (001) by molecular-beam epitaxy. In situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction, ex situ x-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy indicate the high-quality epitaxial growth of Ni2MnIn with the B2 crystal structure on InAs (001). Superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry shows that the Ni2MnIn film is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature ∼170 K.Keywords
