Anomalous thermal and elastic properties of an epitaxial NiTi film exhibiting R-phase
Kristýna RepÄek, Tomáš Grabec, David MareÅ¡ +8
Shape memory alloys like NiTi are at the core of emerging thermal management applications, including elastocaloric refrigeration, thermoelastic harvesting, and latent heat storage.…
Structure of Antiphase boundaries in Ni-M-Ga: multiscale modelling
Jan Zemen, František Máca, Václav Drchal +2
Antiphase boundaries (APBs) are ubiquitous in ordered Heusler alloys and strongly influence magnetic coercivity in Ni-Mn-Ga, yet the link between their atomic-scale exchange intera…
Stress-induced Martensitic transformation in epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga thin films and its correlation to optical and magneto-optical properties
M. Makeš, J. Zázvorka, M. Hubert +5
The optical and magneto-optical properties of thin epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga films, with thicknesses ranging from 8 to 160 nm, were investigated across the spectral range of 0.7-6.4 eV. T…
Kerr microscopy study of magnetic domains and their dynamics in bulk Ni-Mn-Ga austenite
A. Perevertov, I. Soldatov, R. Schaefer +2
The observation of magnetic domains on austenite Ni-Mn-Ga bulk samples has been a big challenge for many years. Using advanced Kerr microscopy, with automatic compensation of the s…
Twinning in ferromagnetic Heusler Rh2MnSb epitaxial thin films
Artem Shamardin, Stanislav CichoÅ, Esther de Prado +10
Epitaxially grown full Heusler alloy of Rh2MnSb thin films were prepared for the first time using DC magnetron sputtering. The films were deposited on MgO [001] substrates with a d…
