Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) has been achieved in Co 2 FeAl 0.5 Si 0.5 (CFAS) based trilayers with MgAl 2 O 4 (MAO) as oxide layer. It was found that the PMA is sensitive to the annealing conditions, the thicknesses of MAO ( t MAO ) and CFAS ( t CFAS ) layers. A strong PMA can be observed in the Pt/CFAS/MAO structure after 340 °C annealing and maintained as high as 400 °C. For a fixed CFAS thickness ( t CFAS  = 1.5 nm), there is a narrow range of t MAO to keep the PMA in this structure. Oxidation at the CFAS/MAO interface plays a very significant role to the PMA, which can be controlled by tuning t MAO for fixed annealing temperature and t CFAS .
