Magnetic and Crystallographic Properties of Several C1b Type Heusler Compounds
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of NiMnSb and IrMnGa were studied by neutron diffraction and the results of these measurements are in accord with the occurrence of high atomic ordering in the first two compounds but point to high atomic disorder in the latter material.
