Temperature dependent magnetization of Ni0.5Co1.5MnSb quaternary Heusler alloy is investigated both theoretically (m-T) and experimentally (M-T). According to the XRD data, the crystal structure of Ni0.5Co1.5MnSb is compatible with the cubic crystal structure with space group symmetry Fm-3m and the lattice parameter of a?=?5.968?Å. Experimental M-T curve is obtained at H?=?1?T. The Curie temperature is obtained at about TCEXP?=?538.3?K. We also use effective field theory (EFT) developed by Kaneyoshi to model and investigate the m-T properties of Ni0.5Co1.5MnSb. We find that the theoretical m-T and experimental M-T results overlap at low temperatures (T??100?K). In particular, the theoretical mSb3-T curve of the central Sb3 atom is much closer to the experimental M-T curve of Ni0.5Co1.5MnSb than that of the other components (mMn1, mMn2, mMn3, mSb1, mSb2, mNi and mCo). Therefore, we strongly propose that one needs to pay close attention to the magnetization of the central atom especially in the lattice of Heusler alloys in both their predictive and experimental studies.
