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 magnetic refrigeration technique based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) has
attracted increasing interest because of its high efficiency and environment friendliness. In …

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 …

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 …

Applying a magnetic field to a ferromagnetic Ni 50 Mn 34 In 16 alloy in the martensitic state
induces a structural phase transition to the austenitic state. This is accompanied by a strain …

Abstract Novel Ni-Co-Mn-Ti all-d-metal Heusler alloys are exciting due to large multicaloric
effects combined with enhanced mechanical properties. An optimized heat treatment for a …

Shape memory alloys exploit the latent heat yielded by stress-induced martensitic
transformation to achieve elastocaloric effect, being suited for solid-state cooling technology …

The class of Heusler compounds, including the XYZ and the X 2 YZ compounds, has not
only an endless number of members, but also a vast variety of properties can be found in …

The authors report the observation of large magnetoresistance in Ni 50 Mn 34 In 16 alloy.
This alloy undergoes an austenite-martensite phase transformation which can be strongly …

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