The orbital hybridizations between 3 d elements are analyzed from the distribution of density of states（DOS）, showing that Fe atoms carry the main magnetic moments and determine the electronic structure around Fermi level. A peak of DOS at Fermi level accounts for the presence of the FeCo-rich secondary phase. The Ni_2In-type hexagonal FeCoSn compound can be used during the isostructural alloying for tuning phase transitions.展开更多
