Type and degree of structural order is an important aspect for understanding and controlling the properties of highly spin polarized Heusler compounds. In this work, we compare the structural order and the local magnetic properties revealed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with the physical properties of thin Co2FeAl0.5Si0.5 Heusler films with varying thickness. We find a very high degree of L21 type ordering up to 81% concomitantly with excess Fe of 8 to 13% in the expense of Al and Si. The very good quality as demonstrated by our NMR study suggest that the novel technique of off-axis sputtering technique used to grow the films sets stage for the optimized performance of Co2FeAl0.5Si0.5 in spintronic devices.
