L21 and XA Ordering Competition in Hafnium-Based Full-Heusler Alloys Hf2VZ (Z = Al, Ga, In, Tl, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb)

For theoretical designing of full-Heusler based spintroinc materials, people have long believed in the so-called Site Preference Rule (SPR). Very recently, according to the SPR, there are several studies on XA-type Hafnium-based Heusler alloys X2YZ, i.e., Hf2VAl, Hf2CoZ (Z = Ga, In) and Hf2CrZ (Z =...
