In this work the magnetic and structural properties of quaternary Fe-Ni-Mn-Al Heusler alloys are studied. We use first principles calculations to investigate crystal lattice relaxation of alloys and their coupling to the magnetic order, with a particular focus on the tetragonal distortions characterized by the c/a ratio. It follows from our calculations that Fe-Ni-Mn-Al alloys have very interesting magnetic properties and can be good candidates as multifunctional magnetic materials.

Thin films of boron nitride (BN), particularly the sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized polytypes hexagonal BN (h-BN) and rhombohedral BN (r-BN) are interesting for several electronic applications given band gaps in the UV. They are typically deposited close to thermal equilibrium by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at temperatures and pressures in the regions 1400-1800 K and 1000-10000 Pa, respectively. In this letter, we use van der Waals corrected density functional theory and thermodynamic stability calculations to determine the stability of r-BN and compare it to that of h-BN as well as to cubic BN and wurtzitic BN. We find that r-BN is the stable sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized phase at CVD conditions, while h-BN is metastable. Thus, our calculations suggest that thin films of h-BN must be deposited far from thermal equilibrium.
