Abstract
The electrical and structural properties of () are tunable by thermal annealing. This is key to the optimization of -based spintronic devices, where the advantageously low magnetic coercivity, high spin polarization, and controllable magnetocrystalline anisotropy are utilized. Here, we report Josephson devices and demonstrate an enhancement of the critical current by up to 700% following thermal annealing due to increased structural ordering of the . The results demonstrate that is a promising material for superconducting quantum spintronic devices.
