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

Martensitic materials show a complex, hierarchical microstructure containing structural
domains separated by various types of twin boundaries. Several concepts exist to describe …

Martensitic transitions in shape memory Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys take place between a high
temperature austenite and a low temperature martensite phase. However, intermartensitic …

Abstract Ni–Mn based Heusler alloys are of considerable interest due to their multifunctional
properties such as magnetic shape memory, magnetocaloric effect and spintronics. The …

We present results of a temperature-dependent high-resolution synchrotron x-ray powder
diffraction study of sequence of phase transitions in N i 2 MnGa. Our results show that the …

First-principles calculations are used to study the structural, electronic and magnetic
properties of (Pd, Pt)-Mn-Ni-(Ga, In, Sn, Sb) alloys, which display multifunctional properties …
