The effects of Cu addition on the crystal structure, phase stability and magnetic properties of Ni8Mn4-xGa4Cux (x=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2) ferromagnetic shape memory alloys are systematically investigated by first-principles calculations. The formation energy results indicate that the added Cu preferentially occupies the Mn sites in Ni2MnGa alloy. The formation energy results indicate that ferromagnetic austenite is more stable than the paramagnetic one. The ferromagnetic state becomes instable and paramagnetic state becomes more stable when Mn is gradual substituted by Cu. Furthermore, the electronic density of states gives rise to the difference in the magnetic properties.

The phase stability, electronic structure and magnetism of Pt 2-x Mn 1+x In (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) alloys are studied by first-principles calculations. The possible magnetic martensitic transformation in this series has been investigated. For all the five compounds, the energy minimums occur around c/a = 1.30, and the energy differences between the austenitic and martensitic phases are large enough to overcome the resistance of phase transformation. By comparing the electronic structures of austenitic and martensitic phases, we can find that the phase stability is enhanced by the martensitic transformation. The magnetic structures of the austenitic and martensitic phases are also discussed.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structure and magnetic properties of rhodium clusters with sizes of 1 - 43 atoms embedded in the nickel host are studied by the first-principles spin-polarized calculations within the local density functional formalism. Single Rh atom in Ni matrix is found to have magnetic moment of 0.45μB. Rh13 and Rhl 9 clusters in Ni matrix have lower magnetic moments compared with the free ones. The most interesting finding is tha.t Rh43 cluster, which is bulk-like nonmagnetic in vacuum, becomes ferromagnetic when embedded in the nickel host.

The electronic and magnetic properties of IIIA group doped ZnO nanosheets (ZnONSs) are investigated by the first principles. The results show that the band gap of ZnO nanosheets increases gradually along with Al, Ga, and In ions occupying Zn sites and O sites. The configuration of Al atoms replacing Zn atoms is more stable than other doped. The system shows half-metallic characteristics for In-doped ZnO nanosheets.
