Magnetic and structural properties of MnXNiSn (X = Mn, Fe, Co)

Crystal structure and magnetic properties of Heusler alloys MnXNiSn (X = Mn, Fe, Co) are investigated using density functional theory and compared with experimental results. The parent alloy Mn2NiSn, which crystallizes in the inverse Heusler structure, is found to be ferrimagnetic, in agreement with...
