Analyzing the chemical order in compositionally complex alloys can be challenging and may become complicated by low elemental contrast. One such compositionally complex material is the all-d-Heusler alloy NiCoMnTi. These alloys exhibit a tunable magneto-structural phase transition, where the high-temperature phase has a long-range B2 structure that can be adjusted through proper thermal treatment. The typical long-range L21 structure found in classical p-metal Heusler alloys cannot be stabilized. In this report, we present data on short-range order in this system, which can be probed through diffuse X-ray scattering. To achieve this, we grew single crystals via abnormal grain growth and conducted synchrotron high-energy X-ray diffraction experiments to obtain high-quality diffuse scattering data. This data was then reconstructed into reciprocal space maps for interpretation.
