Abstract: Theoretical and experimental characterizations of Mn2CrGa compound in regard to the possibility of phase transformation have been carried out in this work. Under a high ordering L21 structure, this compound has the potential to be a martensite phase transition material. However, experimental results show a severe disordering took place in this system, which forbids the occurring of the phase transition. This work provides important reference for the design of new phase transition materials in Heusler alloys.<br />Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures.
