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

Strong coupling effects in magnetocaloric materials are the key factor to achieve a large
magnetic entropy change. Combining insights from experiments and ab initio calculations …

Abstract Ni-Mn-Co-Sn based Heusler alloys have drawn immense attention lately due to
their significant magnetocaloric (MC) and magnetoresistance (MR) properties near their first …

We report an improved reversibility of magnetostriction and inverse magnetocaloric effect
(MCE) for the magnetic shape-memory Heusler alloy Ni 1.8 Mn 1.8 In 0.4. We show that the …

The precise determination of the stability of different martensitic phases is an essential task
in the successful design of (magnetic) shape memory alloys. We evaluate the effect of …

The influence of Pt doping on the lattice structure, magnetism, elastic moduli, and martensite
transition of Ni 2 MnGa and Ni 2 FeGa Heusler alloys was studied using first-principles …

We investigate the origin of magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) in non-modulated
martensite of Ni-Mn-Ga-Co-Cu exhibiting magnetic-field-induced strain up to 12 …

Ni-Mn-In magnetic shape-memory Heusler alloys exhibit generally a large thermal
hysteresis at their first-order martensitic phase transition which hinders a technological …

Based on the first-principles approach, we have studied the martensitic, electronic,
magnetic, thermal, and thermoelectric properties of Ni2Mn1-x Ga1-y Fe x+ y. The …

By DFT calculations, we investigated the Co and Fe incorporation into the Ni 2 MnGa
Heusler alloy (001) surface. Calculations consider the Ga-, Ni-and MnGa-terminated …
