Co2(1+x)Mn1−xSi1−x (x = 0.0–0.4) films are prepared to investigate the dependence of Gilbert damping constant on Co concentration. The evolution of structure and magnetic properties is also studied to analyse the influencing factors of damping constant. Due to the perfect film quality and good B2 ordering, the Co2MnSi (x = 0.0) film shows a small damping constant (α = 0.0054) and large saturation magnetization (Ms = 864 emu cm−3). The formation of Co antisites induces an increase in coercivity and damping constant. The abrupt jump of damping constant in the Co2.6Mn0.7Si0.7(x = 0.3) films is attributed to the disappearance of half-metallicity.
