  Co2FeAl0.5Si0.5 (CFAS) is a Heusler compound that is of interest for
spintronics applications, due to its high spin polarization and relatively low
Gilbert damping constant. In this study, the behavior of ferromagnetic
resonance as a function of temperature was investigated in CFAS, yielding a
decreasing trend of damping constant as the temperature was increased from 13
to 300 K. Furthermore, we studied spin waves in CFAS using both frequency
domain and time domain techniques, obtaining group velocities and attenuation
lengths as high as 26 km/s and 23.3 um, respectively, at room temperature.
