Magnetotransport Properties of Co$_2$FeAl Nanowires

POSTER

Abstract

Co$_2$FeAl (CFA) nanowire (NW) exhibit interesting magnetic behavior with temperature, which arises from the granular structure.\footnote{Keshab R Sapkota \textit{et.al,} J. Appl. Phys.~Vol. \textbf{111}, Issue 12, 123906 (2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4729807} To understand the magnetotransport properties, single CFA NW devices were fabricated using standard electron beam lithography. The magnetoresistance measurements of single CFA NW device were carried out at different temperatures. The magnetoresistance measurements show oscillations as a function of applied external magnetic field.
