All-d-metal Heusler alloys are a new class of promising magnetocaloric materials for magnetic cooling devices. We study the effect of d-d hybridization on the magnetic and vibrational properties of Ni(-Co)-Mn-Ti in the framework of density functional theory. To retrieve traces of d-d orbital hybridization in L3-edge spectra, we compare calculated densities of states and x-ray absorption spectroscopy with the case of Ni-Mn-(In,Sn). In our recent studies for Ni-Mn-(In,Sn) [1, 2], we have shown that p-element concentration, together with positional disorder, indirectly affects the magnetic exchange between the 3d-metal atoms. This can be employed to control the magnetization of the transition metal sublattice. Comparison of Ni(-Co)-Mn-Ti with the Ni-Mn-(In,Sn) allows us to reveal the impact of d-element on magnetic characteristics. We show how the interatomic hybridization in all-d-metal Heusler compounds can be exploited as an intrinsic tuning parameter to design high-performance magnetocaloric materials.
