Talk:Heusler compound

This is a pretty dense and inaccessible article... needs breaking up into sections with some simpler background, context, and build up; as well as a lot more links to explain what various bits of jargon are all about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.4.193 (talk) 15:20, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

The chemical formula of the alloy from 1903 was not consistent with the text. I have brought the formula in line with the text due to the absense of other evidence and the increased likelyhood of the article being correct but I was not able to determine which way was correct so please fix if I got it the wrong way around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.209.88.53 (talk) 12:45, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Crystal symetry
Second line describes Heusler alloys as fcc and then article discusses Al and Mn as sitting on body centre sites and interlinked primitive cells ie bcc and the picture at the top is of ordered bcc/B2 type. Confusing. I have only just started to read up on these alloys so don't want to change anything but AFAIK they tend to have a CsCl structure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:630:63:48:66B9:E8FF:FEC2:4CD4 (talk) 10:47, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Definition
Hello :) It's said that none of the constituents are ferromagnetic, yet there are Ni-Heuslers (NiMnSn, NiMnIn,...). Can somebody explain this contradiction? Is the definition for HA perhaps too narrow? Thanks a lot!--Werkstofflein (talk) 07:54, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * That's an error, several of the Heuslers are ferromagnetic and have various ferromagnetic components... a13ean (talk) 19:02, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for the clarification! Werkstofflein (talk) 10:57, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Can somebody give the reference for the last sentence (These are generally composed of nickel, manganese and gallium and can change their length by up to 10% in a magnetic field.)? Werkstofflein (talk) 10:57, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I found it myself: http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1458075 If somebody knows how to add this reference to the article, go ahead :) Werkstofflein (talk) 11:22, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
