In ferromagnetic alloys with shape memory large reversible strains can be obtained by
rearranging the martensitic domain structure by a magnetic field. Magnetization through …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses vibrational properties of shape-memory alloys.
The crystal structure of a given material depends on its energy and also its entropy, which …

A review is given of experimental and theoretical works concerning the investigation of
magnetic and structural phase transitions and of the magnetocaloric effect in Ni-Mn-X (X …

Publisher Summary The discovery of the ferromagnetic (FM) Heusler alloy Cu 2 MnAl, in the
beginning of the twentieth century, made considerable impact in the field of magnetism …

Ni–Mn–Ga ferromagnetic ordered shape memory alloys are known to exhibit phonon
softening and soft mode condensation into a premartensitic phase prior to the martensitic …

On the basis of Monte Carlo simulations using the Potts model Hamiltonian, we investigate
the complex temperature dependence of magnetization of ferromagnetic Ni-Mn-X (X= In, Sn …

First-principles calculations of magnetic exchange parameters of the austenitic and
martensitic phases of Ni-Mn-Ga allow one to characterize this Heusler system across the …

conditions for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering claimed to occur in this …

We show that the observed transition from rock salt to orthorhombic P nma symmetry in CrN
can be understood in terms of stress anisotropy. Using local spin density functional theory …

We have investigated the generalized susceptibility χ (q) and Fermi-surface-nesting of the
ferromagnetic shape-memory alloy Ni 2 MnGa. As the temperature is lowered below the …
