The magnetic moment of Co$_2$FeSi was measured to be about $6μ_B$ at 5K. Magnetic circular dichroism spectra excited by soft X-rays (XMCD) were taken to determine the element specific magnetic moments of Co and Fe. The Curie temperature was measured with different methods to be ($1100\pm20$)K. Co$_2$FeSi was found to be the Heusler compound as well as the half-metallic ferromagnet with the highest magnetic moment and Curie temperature.conference contribution, MMM2005Materials ScienceHalf-metallic ferromagnetism with high magnetic moment and high Curie temperature in Co$_2$FeSitext
