Magnetostructural martensitic transformations with large volume changes and magneto-strains in all-d-metal Heusler alloys
Z. Y. Wei, E. K. Liu, Y. Li +8
The all-d-metal Mn2-based Heusler ferromagnetic shape memory alloys Mn50Ni40-xCoxTi10 (x = 8 and 9.5) are realized. With a generic comparison between d-metal Ti and main-group elem…
Windows open for highly tunable magnetostructural phase transitions
Y. Li, Z. Y. Wei, H. G. Zhang +9
An attempt was made to tailor the magnetostructural transitions (MSTs) over a wide temperature range under the principle of isostructural alloying. A series of wide Curie-temperatu…
New spin injection scheme based on spin gapless semiconductors: A first-principles study
G. Z. Xu, X. M. Zhang, Z. P. Hou +8
Spin injection efficiency based on conventional and/or half-metallic ferromagnet/semiconductor is greatly limited by the Schmidt obstacle due to conductivity mismatch, here we prop…
Realization of multifunctional shape-memory ferromagnets in all-d-metal Heusler phases
Z. Y. Wei, E. K. Liu, J. H. Chen +7
Heusler ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys (FSMAs) normally consist of transition-group d-metals and main-group p-elements. Here, we report the realization of FSMAs in Heusler phase…
Disorder-induced significant enhancement in magnetization of ball-milled Fe2CrGa alloy
H. G. Zhang, C. Z. Zhang, W. Zhu +6
A new disordered atom configuration in Fe2CrGa alloy has been created by ball-milling method. This leads to a significant enhancement of the magnetic moment up to 3.2~3.9 μB and an…
Vacancy-tuned paramagnetic/ferromagnetic martensitic transformation in Mn-poor Mn_{1-x}CoGe alloys
E. K. Liu, W. Zhu, L. Feng +7
It is shown that a temperature window between the Curie temperatures of martensite and austenite phases around the room temperature can be obtained by a vacancy-tuning strategy in…
