Abstract

We report magnetic vortex formation in epitaxially grown Co₂Fe_0.4Mn_0.6Si (CFMS) Heusler alloy discs that was confirmed using photoemission electron microscopy and the magneto-optical Kerr effect. The phase diagram of magnetic domain structures as functions of the disc thickness (t) and diameter (D) indicates that the magnetic vortex is stable in wide ranges of t and D even for the epitaxial CFMS. The annihilation field of vortex core depended not only on the disc aspect ratio but also on t. Numerical simulation suggests that this t dependence results from extrinsic pinning of a vortex core due to the epitaxial growth.
