In our previous works [J. Phys. Chem. Solids 163 (2022) 110600], the quaternary Heusler alloy CrLaCoAl has been predicted to be half-metallic ferrimagnet with high Curie temperature, and meet the dynamic, mechanical and thermal stabilities. Furthermore, a smaller convex hull indicates that it is...
