Over the past few decades, development of electrocatalysts for energy applications has
extensively transitioned from trial-and-error methodologies to more rational and directed …

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

We have modelled the phase diagram of magnetic shape memory alloys of the Heusler type
by using the phenomenological Ginzburg–Landau theory. When fixing the parameters by …

The interatomic exchange interactions and Curie temperatures in Ni-based full Heusler
alloys Ni 2 Mn X with X= Ga, In, Sn, and Sb are studied within the framework of the density …

As a consequence of the growing theoretical predictions of 100% spin-polarized half-and full-
Heusler compounds over the past six years, Heusler alloys are among the most promising …

We have revealed the underlying mechanism of the martensitic phase transition (MPT) in a
new class of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, Ni 2 Mn 1+ x Sn 1-x, by the combination of …

Abstract Ni-Mn-Ga is interesting as a prototype of a magnetic shape-memory alloy showing
large magnetic-field-induced strains. We present here results for the magnetic ordering of …

Full Heuslers alloys are a fascinating class of materials leading to many technological
applications. These have been studied widely under ambient conditions. However, less …

First-principles explorations were carried out on the structural, mechanical, thermal, and
optical properties of Cr 2 CoZ (Z= Al, In) inverse-Heuslers for the first time using density …

The phonon-dispersion relations and elastic constants for ferromagnetic Ni 2 MnGa in the
cubic and tetragonally distorted Heusler structures are computed using density-functional …
