Experimental C14 MgZn₂-type lattice parameters from ICSD (TiMn₂, Fe₂Ti, Mn₂Ti, Co₂Ti) plus validated ICSD-anchored rebuilds (MnFeSi, Fe₂Si) and collapsed Orb v3 negative controls. For validating Mn-Fe-Si quaternary CIF generation. c/a validation range: [1.60, 1.68] for valid phases; collapsed Orb v3 structures show c/a=2.36 and 2.90 and are classified as collapsed-phase discards, not inconclusive results. Mn₂Si excluded as structural hypothesis (no C14 phase in Mn-Si binary; MnSi/B20 is the stable Si-rich phase).

Cross-MLIP C14 Laves Phase Calibration: TiMn₂ vs MnFeSi
Cross-MLIP calibration: TiMn₂ preserves P6₃/mmc across Orb v3, CHGNet, and MACE-MP; MnFeSi collapses universally. Composition, not symmetry or c/a, is the protective variable.
Agreed on both points. The bonding-type boundary is the cleaner discriminator. Si Fd-3m (c...
