Fabrication and evaluation of highly c-plane oriented Mn3Sn thin films

MnxSn100-x thin films with different compositions (x=84, 80, 76, and 74) were fabricated on MgO (111) substrates by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature and their properties were evaluated. The samples crystallized into Mn3Sn after thermal annealing at 400°C or higher in vacuum. T...
