The spin-wave stiffness constant <i>D</i> and the Curie temperature <i>T</i><sub>C</sub> for series of <i>L</i>2<sub>1</sub> phase in Co<sub>2</sub>CrGa, Co<sub>2</sub>MnGa, Co<sub>2</sub>Mn(Al<sub>1-</sub><i>x</i>Si<i>x</i>) , Co<sub>2</sub>Fe(Al<sub>1-</sub><i>x</i>Si<i>x</i>), and Co<sub>2</sub>Fe(Ga<sub>1-</sub><i>x</i>Si<i>x</i>) Heusler alloys were evaluated from the thermomagnetization measurements. For the Co<sub>2</sub>CrGa, Co<sub>2</sub>MnGa, and Co<sub>2</sub>Mn(Al<sub>1-</sub><i>x</i>Si<i>x</i>) alloys, there was a linear relation between <i>D</i> and <i>T</i><sub>C</sub> . The tendency between <i>D</i> and <i>T</i><sub>C</sub> was different from that for Co<sub>2</sub>Fe(Al<sub>1-</sub><i>x</i>Si<i>x</i>) and Co<sub>2</sub>Fe(Ga<sub>1-</sub><i>x</i>Si<i>x</i>) alloys, that is, <i>T</i><sub>C</sub> was in the temperature region from 1040 to 1100 K indicating weak concentration dependence, whereas <i>D</i> was sensitive to the composition. For example, <i>D</i> changed from 2.28 meV ·nm<sup>2</sup> for <i>x</i>=1 (Co<sub>2</sub>FeSi) to 5.24 meV ·nm<sup>2</sup> for <i>x</i>=0 (Co<sub>2</sub>FeGa) in the case of Co<sub>2</sub>Fe(Ga<sub>1-</sub><i>x</i>Si<i>x</i>) alloys. It was suggested that magnetic stability against the temperature of the Co-based Heusler alloys containing Fe element was governed not only by the spin-wave excitation but also by the other kinds of excitation.
