Can anyone provide me the cif file of Co2FeAl ?

Co2FeAl is a heusler alloy.

You may try searching for this material in the internal and external databases available through the VNL, see http://docs.quantumwise.com/tutorials/builder_manual/builder_import/builder_import.html. If you have the material structure in a non-cif format, you could convert it to the cif format in the VNL.

this material is not available in internal database of vnl atk

There is a Heusler (L2_1) prototype in the Crystal Builder in VNL, under Alloys.  All you need to do is replace the elements with Co, Fe and Al in the correct way, and change the lattice constant to the relevant value (and then optimize the structure).

Can you mention the steps for the Heusler (L2_1) prototype in the Crystal Builder in VNL.   I didn't got.
