Many Heusler compounds are predicted to be ferromagnetic half metals in thebulk, which makes them promising compounds for spintronics. However, fordevices the transport spin polarization at specific interfaces requiresoptimization. We show that investigations of the unidirectionalmagnetoresistance provide an alternative approach to access this quantity.Based on a Wheatstone-bridge design we probed the unidirectionalmagnetoresistance of Co2MnSi/(Ag, Cu, or Cr)(0.5 nm)/Pt (or Ta) multilayers andseparate the spin-dependent unidirectional spin Hall magnetoresistance fromother contributions. We demonstrated that by the insertion of a thin epitaxialAg layer the spin-dependent contribution is doubled corresponding to asignificant increase of the transport spin polarization, which is discussed inthe framework of highly spin polarized interface states.
