An Ab Initio Study of Thermodynamic and Mechanical Stability of Heusler-Based Fe2AlCo Polymorphs
We use quantum-mechanical calculations to test a hypothesis of Glover et al. (J. Mag. Mag. Mater. 15 (1980) 699) that Co atoms in the Fe 2 AlCo compound have on average 3 Fe and 3 Co atoms in their second nearest neighbor shell. We have simulated four structural configurations of Fe 2...
