Due to their relatively large magnetic moments and strong magnetic anisotropy, the Fe2-based Heusler compounds with tetragonal distortion are expected to be attractive candidates in hard-magnetic applications. In contrast to the first theoretical predictions, however, many of them crystallize in the cubic structure. In the framework of ab-initio electron structure calculations, we explain the stability of their cubic phase as based on combined effect of intrinsic chemical disorder and crystal symmetry.
