This review summarizes recent first-principles investigations of the electronic structure and
magnetism of dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs), which are interesting for applications …

A review of new developments in theoretical and experimental electronic-structure
investigations of half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) is presented. Being semiconductors for …

We employ ab-initio electronic structure calculations to study 60 LiMgPdSn-type (also known
as LiMgPdSb-type) quaternary Heusler compounds. All compounds obey the Slater-Pauling …

This review addresses the method of explicit calculations of interatomic exchange
interactions of magnetic materials. This involves exchange mechanisms normally referred to …

Magnetic order in two-dimensional (2D) materials is intimately coupled to magnetic
anisotropy (MA) since the Mermin–Wagner theorem implies that rotational symmetry cannot …

Full Heusler alloys display a wide range of physical phenomena with potential applications
in different areas. However, researchers still struggle to overcome many limiting factors to …

We employ ab-initio electronic structure calculations to search for spin gapless
semiconductors among the inverse Heusler compounds. The occurrence of this property is …

A review is given of experimental and theoretical works concerning the investigation of
magnetic and structural phase transitions and of the magnetocaloric effect in Ni-Mn-X (X …

Magnetic field-induced martensitic transformation was realized in Ni 50− x Co x Mn 39 Sb 11
alloys. The partial substitution of Co for Ni has turned the antiferromagnetically aligned Mn …

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 …
