Present work reports on the observation of multiple magnetic transitions in a Ni-excess ferromagnetic shape memory alloy with nominal composition Ni$_{2.048}$Mn$_{1.312}$In$_{0.64}$. The magnetization data reveal two distinct thermal…
Molecular dynamics simulations show that coherent precipitates can significantly affect the properties of martensitic transformations in Ni$_{63}$Al$_{37}$ alloys. The precipitates, consisting of non-martensitic Ni$_{50}$Al$_{50}$, modify…
Applying a magnetic field to a ferromagnetic Ni$_{50}$Mn$_{34}$In$_{16}$ alloy in the martensitic state induces a structural phase transition to the austenitic state. This is accompanied by a strain which recovers on removing the magnetic…
The electronic structure, magnetism and phase stability of Pt2-xMn1+xGa(x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) alloys are studied by first-principle calculations. The calculations reveal that a potential magnetic martensitic transformation can be…
The elastocaloric effect in the vicinity of the martensitic transition of a Cu-Zn-Al has been studied by inducing the transition by strain or stress measurements. While transition trajectories show significant differences, the entropy…
We model changes of magnetic ordering in Mn-antiperovskite nitrides driven by biaxial lattice strain at zero and at finite temperature. We employ a non-collinear spin-polarised density functional theory to compare the response of the…
We consider an ordered ferromagnet in the vicinity of a T=0 transition into a paramagnet. We show that the free energy and the transverse and longitudinal static susceptibilities contain non-analyticities which destroy a continuous…
Martensitic transformations are strain driven displacive transitions governing the mechanical and physical properties in intermetallic materials. This is the case in Ni$_2$MnGa, where the martensite transition is at the heart of the…
The significance of thermal fluctuations on nucleation in structural first-order phase transitions has been examined. The prototype case of martensitic transitions has been experimentally investigated by means of acoustic emission…
We look at the influence of external fields on systems described by generic free energy functional of the order parameter. The external force may have arbitrary spatial dependence, and the order parameter coupling may be nonlinear. The…
We report on measurements of the adiabatic temperature change in the inverse magnetocaloric Ni$_{50}$Mn$_{34}$In$_{16}$ alloy. It is shown that this alloy heats up with the application of a magnetic field around the Curie point due to the…
We consider a recently introduced 2-D square-to-rectangle martensite model that explains several unusual features of martensites to study ferromagnetic martensites. The strain order parameter is coupled to the magnetic order parameter…
Ni-Mn-In magnetic shape-memory Heusler alloys exhibit generally a large thermal hysteresis at their first-order martensitic phase transition which hinder a technological application in magnetic refrigeration. By optimizing the Cu content in…
Reversible martensitic transformations (MTs) are the origin of many fascinating phenomena, including the famous shape memory effect. In this work, we present a fully ab initio procedure to characterize MTs in alloys and to assess their…
We considered a generic case of pre-transitional materials with static stress-generating defects, dislocations and coherent nano-precipitates, at temperatures close but above the starting temperature of martensitic transformation, Ms. Using…
The degenerate Blume-Emery-Griffiths model for martensitic transformations is extended by including both structural and magnetic degrees of freedom in order to elucidate premartensitic effects. Special attention is paied to the effect of…
We use the phase-field method to study the martensitic transformation at the nanoscale. For nanosystems such as nanowires and nanograins embedded in a stiff matrix, the geometric constraints and boundary conditions have an impact on…
An original thermodynamically consistent large strains-based multiphase phase-field (PF) approach of Ginzburg-Landau type is developed for studying the grain boundary (GB)-induced martensitic transformations (MTs) in polycrystalline…
Diffusionless phase transitions are at the core of the multifunctionality of (magnetic) shape memory alloys, ferroelectrics and multiferroics. Giant strain effects under external fields are obtained in low symmetric modulated martensitic…
The martensitic transformation in new-type all-d-metal Heusler alloys Pd2MnTi and Pt2MnTi have been investigated based on first-principles investigations. The calculated results indicate that the martenstic transformation have great…
