We synthesized epitaxial Mn2VGa thin films on MgO(001) substrates by dc and rf magnetron co-sputtering, resulting in nearly stoichiometric films. XRD analysis revealed a mostly B2-ordered structure for the films deposited at substrate temperatures of 350{\\deg}C, 450{\\deg}C, and 550{\\deg}C. Magnetic tunnel junctions with MgO barrier and CoFe counter-electrodes were fabricated.
