Heusler compounds are a remarkable class of intermetallic materials with 1: 1: 1 (often
called Half-Heusler) or 2: 1: 1 composition comprising more than 1500 members. Today …

The phenomenology of exchange bias effects observed in structurally single-phase alloys
and compounds but composed of a variety of coexisting magnetic phases such as …

Exchange bias (EB) is usually observed in systems with an interface between different
magnetic phases after field cooling. Here we report an unusual phenomenon in which a …

We report a large exchange-bias effect after zero-field cooling the new tetragonal Heusler
compound Mn 2 PtGa from the paramagnetic state. The first-principles calculation and the …

In this manuscript, we investigate the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the
quaternary Heusler alloys ZnCdXMn (X= Pd, Ni or Pt) by using the first-principle …

In recent years, spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs) have received considerable interest in
the fields of condensed matter physics and materials sciences due to their potential …

In ferromagnetic Ni-Mn-based Heusler alloys undergoing martensitic transformations, a
sudden drop in the magnetization is observed as the temperature decreases through the …

We have revealed the underlying mechanism of the martensitic phase transition (MPT) in a
new class of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, Ni 2 Mn 1+ x Sn 1-x, by the combination of …

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 …
