Magnetic Heusler alloys which undergo a martensitic transition display interesting functional
properties. In the present review, we survey the magnetocaloric effects of Ni–Mn-based …

Heusler compounds are a large family of binary, ternary, and quaternary compounds that
exhibit a wide range of properties of both fundamental and potential technological interest …

Magnetic materials underpin modern technologies, ranging from data storage to energy
conversion to contactless sensing. However, the development of a new high-performance …

Heusler compounds are a remarkable class of materials with more than 1000 members and
a wide range of extraordinary multi-functionalities including halfmetallic high-temperature …

We study the electronic structures and magnetic properties of Mn 2 Co Z (Z= Al, Ga, In, Si,
Ge, Sn, Sb) compounds with Hg 2 Cu Ti-type structure using first-principles full-potential …

Application spectrum of shape memory alloys (SMA) is expanding rapidly and
proportionately so is the engineering demand for superior materials. An essential …

A series of Fe 2 YSi (Y= Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) alloys were synthesized and their electronic and
magnetic properties were studied both theoretically and experimentally. In particular, a novel …

Manganese-rich Heusler compounds are attracting much interest in the context of spin
transfer torque and rare-earth free hard magnets. Here we give a comprehensive overview …

New quaternary Heusler materials, CoMnTiAl and FeMnTiAl, have been investigated. These
alloys are found to be stable in a ferromagnetic phase in Y1 type structure; the stability is …

Martensitic phase transition in all-d-metal Heusler compounds was investigated by using
first principles calculations. The large change in volume during martensitic phase transition …
