Chemical Long Range Ordering in All-D-metal Heusler Alloys
Journal of applied physics(2022)
Abstract
Chemical ordering in NiMn-based Heusler alloys with magnetostructural phase transition is crucial for understanding the physics of the phase transition. In the new field of all-d-metal Ni(Co)MnTi Heusler alloys, the experimental determination of chemical order is challenging due to the low difference in scattering power of the different elements. Here, we report a combined approach of neutron and x-ray diffraction for an analysis of chemical order in Ni(Co)MnTi alloys and show that no Heusler-typical L21 order between Ti and Mn is present. Furthermore, Co and Ni atoms do not exhibit order among them; however, the phase transition of Co containing samples can be shifted significantly by changing the degree of B2 order with proper heat treatment. Using first-principles calculations, we reveal how the structural and magnetic sub-systems depend on the degree of B2 disorder.
