Phase Transition and Electronic Structures of All-d-Metal Heusler-Type X2MnTi Compounds (X = Pd, Pt, Ag, Au, Cu, and Ni)

In this work, we investigated the phase transition and electronic structures of some newly designed all-d-metal Heusler compounds, X2MnTi (X = Pd, Pt, Ag, Au, Cu, and Ni), by means of the first principles. The competition between the XA and L21 structures of these materials was studied, and we found...
