It was shown that anomalous resistivity behavior of the $Cu-Mn-Al$ ribbons is explained by the s-d interaction between conduction electrons and the clustered Mn atoms. While nuclear magnetic resonance measurements show the antiferromagnetic…
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 elements in lowering the transformation temperature, the…

All-d-metal full-Heusler alloys possess superior mechanical properties and high spin polarization, which would play an important role in spintronic applications. Despite this, their electrical and thermal transport properties have not been…
The magnetic property of the Heusler alloys can be predicted by the famous Slater-Pauling (S-P) rule, which states the total magnetic moment ($m_t$) of such materials can be expressed as $m _t\,=\,(N_V-24)\,\mu_B/f.u.$, where $N_V$ is the…
