Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Ni2XAl (X= V, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co) Heusler alloys: An ab initio study

Nickel-based Ni2XAl (X ​= ​V, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co) Heusler alloys for both L21 and L10 crystal structures are studied by using the density functional theory. The magnetization energy and formation energy of Ni2XAl Heusler alloys are calculated. We found that in the ideal L21 structure, ferromagnetic...
