Abstract

The magnetic properties of the off-stoichiometric Ni2XIn (X=Mn, Fe, Co) are systematically investigated by means of the first–principles calculations within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) using the Vienna ab initio software package (VASP). The magnitude of the variation in the Ni moments is much larger than that of Mn in the defective Ni2XIn. The value of the Ni magnetic moment sensitively depends on the distance between Ni and X.
