Magnetic refrigeration relies on a substantial entropy change in a magnetocaloric material
when a magnetic field is applied. Such entropy changes are present at first‐order …

The elastic properties, phase stability, and magnetism and correlations among them in all-d-
metal Heusler compounds, ie, Ni 2 Mn T (T= Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W) were …

Several classes of materials manifest displacive phase transitions, including shape memory
alloys, many electronically correlated materials, superconductors, and ferroelectrics. Each of …

This review summarizes recent advances in first‐principles simulations of the structural,
mechanical, and magnetomechanical properties of Ni–Mn–Ga‐based ferromagnetic shape …

By combination of two independent approaches, nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering
and first-principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory, we …

Heusler alloys exhibiting magnetic and martensitic transitions enable applications like
magnetocaloric refrigeration and actuation based on the magnetic shape memory effect …

We investigate the suitability of nearly half-metallic ferrimagnetic quaternary Heusler alloys,
CoCrMn Z (Z= Al, Ga, Si, Ge), to assess their feasibility as electrode materials for MgO …

Metallic/intermetallic materials with BCC structures hold an intrinsic instability due to phonon
softening along [110] direction, causing BCC to lower-symmetry phases transformation …

Segregation in a series of Ni 2 Mn 1+ x (In, Sn, Ga, Al) 1− x and Mn 2 Ni 1+ x (Ga, Al) as well
as Ni 2+ x Mn 1− x Ga Heusler alloys is studied by first-principles calculations. We show that …

We use X-ray diffraction to confirm that the 5M phase of the stoichiometric Heusler alloy Ni 2
MnGa has an incommensurate modulation with wavevector q=[0.428 0.428 0]. We find the …
