摘要
The magnetic field-induced (MFI) changes of the electronic, magnetic and phonon properties of magnetic shape memory Heusler alloys Ni-Mn-Ga and Ni-Mn-In are discussed on the basis of first-principles calculations. Without an external magnetic field, the lattice instability to shear wave propagation in [110] direction shows up in the calculation as softening of the TA(2) zeta [110] (d2/a) mode at z approximate to 1/3. The ab initio modeling of magnetic. field effects shows that the phase (austenite or martensite) is favored which has larger magnetization. This is in agreement with experiments on Ni-Mn-In, for which the martensitic transformation (MT) can be shifted by 40K to lower temperatures in an external field of 5 T. (C) 2006 Elsevier B. V.
