Abstract
Ni2MnGe films with significantly different structural orders were fabricated, and the influence of atomic ordering on various physical properties has been investigated. The structural characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The temperature dependence of magnetization was investigated with a superconducting quantum interference device. The optical properties were obtained using a spectroscopic ellipsometer, and the magneto-optical properties were understood by measuring the equatorial Kerr effect (EKE). Infrared and ultraviolet spectra of the films were also studied. It was found that the structural disorder in Ni2MnGe film causes lack of the ferromagnetic order and noticeable changes in the energy band structure.
