We have presented the fascinating magnetic properties in homogenous noble-metal-free and rare-earth-free L10-Mn1.5Ga epitaxial films on GaAs (001), including ultrahigh perpendicular coercivity remarkably tunable from 8.1 to 42.8 kOe, giant perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy with a maximum of 22.9 Merg/cc, easily controllable magnetization from 27.3 to 270.5 emu/cc, excellent squareness exceeding 0.94 and large magnetic energy product up to 35.4 MGOe. These magnificent room-temperature magnetic characteristics make our L10-Mn1.5Ga films multifunctional as outstanding and cost-effective alternative for not only perpendicular magnetic recording bits with areal density over 30 Tb inch-2 and thermal stability over 60 years, but variety of novel devices with high magnetic-noise immunity and thermal stability like spin-torque MRAMs and oscillators pillars below 5 nm in dimension, and giant magnetoresistance sensors able to measure high fileds up to 42 kOe . Moreover, this kind of materials can also be expected as permanent magnets for replacing the expensive rare-earth magnets widely used today.
