Description: 
The magnetic properties of Mn x Ga alloys critically depend on composition x, and the atomic‐scale origin of those dependences is still not fully disclosed. Molecular beam epitaxy has been used to produce a set of Mn x Ga samples (x = 0.7 ÷ 1.9) with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and controllable saturation magnetization and coercive field depending on x. By conducting 57Mn/Fe and 119In/Sn emission Mössbauer spectroscopy at ISOLDE/CERN, the Mn and Ga site‐specific chemical, structural, and magnetic properties of Mn x Ga are investigated as a function of x, and correlated with the magnetic properties as measured by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. Hyperfine magnetic fields of Mn/Fe (either at Mn or Ga sites) are found to be greatly influenced by the local strain induced by the implantation. However, In/Sn probes show clear angular dependence …
