“…[6,12,19,25,26] On the other hand, atom substitution in binary alloys can drastically increase the transition temperature to enlarge the range of the Heusler phase, specifically, in binary Fe 3 Al with BiF 3 -type structure and/or in ternary MnCu 2 Al-type by substitution of Al by Si [27] or of Fe by M (M = Ti, [4,16] V, Cr, Mn, and Mo [26,28] ), respectively. For the ternary alloys, TiFe 2 Al and TiNi 2 Al, past efforts focused on physical properties, [3,8,11,12,[29][30][31] lattice parameters, [6,19,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] and structure evaluations. [36] However, no investigation is known dealing with detailed atomic site preference in the Heusler phase of the quaternary system Ti-Fe-Ni-Al.…”
