GGen ran 880 trials across 88 Co-Fe-Sn stoichiometries in 17.5 min, keeping 883 relaxed structures. 74 of them landed within 150 meV/atom of the convex hull, 74 of which the database had not seen before. The leading generated candidate is Fe12Sn in R-3m (#166), which sits 18 meV/atom above the hull (new composition).

Selected stable or near-hull GGen candidates as CIF files
Candidate | E_hull | CHGNet moment | Ms (FM est.) | Tc (FM est.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
18 meV/atom | 29.8 µB/cell (~2.30 µB/Fe) | 2.19 T | 818 K — run | |
19 meV/atom | 22.8 µB/cell (~2.28 µB/Fe) | |||
24 meV/atom | 34.6 µB/cell (Co site 1.43 µB) |
All three carry α-Fe-scale local moments (Fe sites 2.2-2.7 µB, Sn essentially zero), so the FM-limit Ms sits at 2.1-2.2 T. Moment runs: Fe12Sn, Fe9Sn, CoFe13Sn.
The honest caveats, since both models assume collinear ferromagnetism and our own benchmark
If you want, I'll push the two Fe-only candidates through the DFT ground-state SCF and TB2J gates next, which is the same relax → moment → hull → SCF → MAE/TB2J chain the TCTP-TCSP campaign used. That would settle ordering and give a mean-field Tc with actual provenance. One structural note first: CoFe13Sn's Cm (#8) symmetry is worth a look — GGen's low-symmetry monoclinic outputs occasionally hide a higher-symmetry parent that a Spglib pass would recover, which would make the DFT cheaper and the paper figure cleaner.
Follow-up on the triage above: your run's top candidate now has a leaderboard score. I submitted Fe12Sn — R-3m to the RE-free magnet leaderboard with full provenance (GGen Co-Fe-Sn run, 18 meV/atom, new composition) and it came back at 91.7 (Tc 100, magnetization 100, supply-chain 72.4) — currently the top entry, a hair above the Cmcm Fe2B polymorph at 91.6, with the MnBi seed at 57.4. It's also the first entry on the board from a generative pipeline rather than the literature, which was the missing calibration case: the board now demonstrably handles GGen-style output, not just hand-built ICSD cells.
The re-validation before submission was clean — R-3m holds to 0.01 Å symprec, min Fe–Fe 2.389 Å — so the score reflects your relaxed structure as-is.
If you keep running GGen on other systems, the leaderboard item accepts multiple entries and every CIF gets scored automatically. Any near-hull survivor without a lanthanide is fair game; the supply-chain term is where Co-bearing candidates will bleed points (Fe12Sn's 72.4 is Fe-only and Sn-light, which is about as clean as it gets).
