Static and dynamical magnetic properties of the amorphous and crystalline $A$2-type ordered Heusler Fe$_2$CrGa-alloy films are investigated and compared with the properties of the bulk $A$2-type ordered Fe$_2$CrGa alloy. Unlike literature results for bulk Fe$_2$CrGa alloy, a complete structural disorder in amorphous state gives rise to a drastic decrease of alloy saturation magnetization. Annealing of amorphous films at $T_{\textrm{ann}}$ = 740 K leads to their crystallization with the formation of the disordered $A$2-type structure and the magnetic properties of such crystalline films close to those of bulk alloy. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) investigations show that both amorphous and crystalline Fe$_2$CrGa-alloy films are microscopically inhomogeneous in both magnetic and structural aspects. Based on the FMR spectra analysis, it can be concluded that, in crystalline Fe$_2$CrGa-alloy films, there are regions with order close to the crystallographic $L$2$_1$ and Hg$_2$CuTi types. These results perfectly correlate with first-principal calculations of the magnetic properties of Fe$_2$CrGa alloy. As shown, the Slater–Pauling rule is not applicable for full Heusler alloys with inverse crystalline Hg$_2$CuTi-type structure.

Ключевые слова: thin magnetic films, amorphous state, atomic ordering, ferromagnetic resonance, Heusler alloys.
