TL;DR: In this paper, the electronic structures of Ni 2 MnSn and Pd 2 NMSn have been calculated and the common properties of these alloys have been discussed by the present results and those obtained for Cu 2 MnAl.
Abstract: In order to see the characteristic properties of the ferromagnetic Heusler alloys,the electronic structures of Ni 2 MnSn and Pd 2 MnSn have been calculated. The common properties of these alloys have been discussed by the present results and those obtained for Cu 2 MnAl. The spin polarizations of the constituent atoms are in good are in good agreement with experimental ones. The sigmas of the spin polarizations of the s -type conduction electrons in the inscribed spheres are consistent with the signs of the measured internal magnetic fields due to the conduction electrons.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the magnetic alignment in ferromagnetic Heusler alloys is caused by the positive polarization of the d-like conduction electrons at the Mn-Mn distance.
