摘要

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Heusler compound in possession of a good order must be in want of a high spin polarization. In the present work, we investigated the spin polarization of the Heusler compound Co2FeAl by spin polarized tunneling through a MgO barrier into a superconducting Al-Si electrode. The measured spin polarization of P=55% is in good agreement with the previously obtained tunnel magnetoresistance values and compared to the data by other groups.
