ABSTRACTThe structural, electronic and magnetic properties of functional Ni-Mn-(Ga, In, Sn) and Pt-Ni-(Ga, Sn) alloys are studied by first-principles and Monte Carlo tools. The ab initio calculations give a basic understanding of the underlying physics which is associated with the complex magnetic behavior arising from the competition of ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions for excess Mn atoms in the unit cell. We show that the resulting complex magnetic ordering is the driving mechanism of structural transformations and multifunctional properties of Heusler alloys associated with magnetic shape-memory, magnetocaloric and elastocaloric effects. The thermodynamic properties can be calculated by using the ab initio magnetic exchange parameters in finite-temperature Monte Carlo simulations. Entropy and specific heat changes associated with the magnetic changes and emergence of microstructure across the magnetostructural transition are pointed out. We show how to optimize the functional properties by tuning the compositional changes, for example, a magnetic shape-memory effect of more than 14% can be achieved in Pt-Ni-Mn-Ga alloys. The theoretical studies are accompanied by experimental investigations.

The 119Sn hyperfine field in the Heusler alloys Ir1.07Mn1.07Sn0.86, PtMnSn, Ni2MnSn, Co2MnSn, and Pd2MnSn has been measured using the Mössbauer effect. Hyperfine field distributions were obtained from the Mössbauer spectra via the Fourier expansion method of Window. The spectra of Ni2MnSn, Co2MnSn, and Pd2MnSn showed a well-defined value of the hyperfine field. This indicates a well-ordered structure and is consistent with previous neutron diffraction and NMR measurements on these alloys. The Ir1.07Mn1.07Sn0.86 and PtMnSn spectra, on the other hand, showed a wide distribution of fields, indicating a considerable amount of disorder. The extent and type of disorder, as indicated by X-ray diffraction measurements, are also considered.

In this paper, we report the time differential perturbed angular distribution measurements of 54 Fe on a polycrystalline EuFe 2 As 2 and Eu 0.5 K 0.5 Fe 2 As 2. The hyperfine field and nuclear spin-relaxation rate are strongly temperature dependent in the paramagnetic state suggesting strong spin fluctuation in the parent compound. The local susceptibility show Curie–Weiss-like temperature dependence and Korringa-like relaxation in the tetragonal phase indicating the presence of local moment. In the orthorhombic phase, the hyperfine field behavior suggesting quasi two-dimensional magnetic ordering. The experimental results are in a good agreement with first-principle calculations based on density functional theory.

Sn hyperfine fields were measured using Mössbauer spectroscopy in the Heusler alloys Rh2MnZ (Z = Ge, Sn). The measurements yielded values of −48 and +31 kOe at 77 K for Sn in Rh2MnGe and Rh2MnSn, respectively. These values showed that in these alloys the Sn hyperfine field decreases with increasing conduction electron density. These results are compared with those obtained for Sn hyperfine fields in X2MnZ and Co2YZ Heusler alloys and are discussed in terms of theoretical predictions.
