We present a comprehensive study of the energetics and magnetic properties of ZnO clusters doped with 3d transition metals (TM) using ab initio density functional calculations in the framework of generalized gradient approximation + Hubbard…

Neutron diffraction and ab initio studies were carried out on Mn2V1-xCoxGa (x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) Heusler alloys which exhibits high TC fully compensated ferrimagnetic characteristic for x=0.5. A combined analysis of neutron diffraction…

Spintronics is the fast growing field that will play a key role in optimizing power consumption, memory, and processing capabilities of nanoelectronic devices. Heusler alloys are potential candidates for application in spintronics due to…

This work reports on the bulk properties of the quaternary Heusler alloy Co$_2$Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Si with the Fe concentration $x=$. All samples, which were prepared by arc melting, exhibit $L2_1$ long range order over the complete range of Fe…

We investigate the effect of Mn substitution in Fe$_2$Ti$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Sn on electronic structure and magnetic and electrical transport properties. The spin-polarized density of states calculations using density-functional theory (DFT)…

Recent first-principles calculations have predicted Mn$_{2}$Ni{\it X} ({\it X}=Al, Ga, In, Sn) alloys to be magnetic shape memory alloys. Moreover, experiments on Mn$_{2}$NiGa and Mn$_{2}$NiSn suggest that the alloys deviate from the…

The magnetic phase diagram of the Mn-based semi-Heusler alloys is determined at T=0 using first-principles calculations in conjunction with the frozen-magnon approximation. We show that the magnetism in these systems strongly depends on the…

The effects of various point defects and lattice distortions on the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of Co$_2$MnAl alloy are investigated using density functional theory calculations. For the point defects, six types of…

The Hubbard model has been employed successfully to understand many aspects of correlation driven physical properties, in particular, the magnetic order in itenerant electron systems. In some systems such as Heusler alloys, manganites etc.,…

Using Density Functional Theory and a thermodynamic model [Physical Review B 86, 134418 (2012)], in this paper, we provide an approach to systematically screen compounds of a given Heusler family to predict ones that can yield giant…

Electronic transport and magnetic properties of bulk and rapid melt quenched samples of the Mn$_3$Al Heusler alloy were studied. A correlation between the magnetic and structural states was established. For a cast sample, there is no…

We perform a theoretical study, using {\it ab initio} total energy density-functional calculations, of the effects of disorder on the $Mn-Mn$ exchange interactions for $Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs$ diluted semiconductors. For a 128 atoms supercell, we…

Heusler alloys are widely studied due to their interesting structural and magnetic properties, like magnetic memory shape ability, coupled magneto-structural phase transitions and half-metallicity; ruled, for many cases, by the valence…

The magnetic correlations in the austenite phase and the consequent martensitic transition in inverse magnetocaloric alloys, Ni$_{2}$Mn$_{1+x}$Sn$_{1-x}$, have been a matter of debate for decades. We conclusively establish using {\it ab…

Polycrystalline samples of the half-metallic ferromagnet Heusler compound Co$_2$TiSn have been prepared and studied using bulk techniques (X-ray diffraction and magnetization) as well as local probes ($^{119}$Sn M\"ossbauer spectroscopy and…

Our Introduction starts with a short general review of the magnetic and structural properties of the Heusler compounds which are under discussion in this book. Then, more specifically, we come to the discussion of our experimental results…

The competing magnetic ground states of the itinerant magnet EuCuSb, which has a hexagonal layered structure, were studied via magnetization, resistivity, and neutron diffraction measurements on single-crystal samples. EuCuSb has a…

Intermetallic Heusler alloys are amongst the most attractive half-metallic systems due to the high Curie temperatures and the structural similarity to the binary semiconductors. In this review we present an overview of the basic electronic…

Defects intentionally introduced into magnetic materials often have a profound effect on the physical properties. Specifically tailored neutron spectroscopic experiments can provide detailed information on both the local exchange…
