The influence of Co and Cu doping on Ni-Mn-Ga alloy is investigated using the first-principles exact muffin-tin orbital method in combination with the coherent-potential approximation. The energy difference between the ...

The effect of shear deformation on Ni2MnGa magnetic shape memory alloy has been investigated using ab initio electronic structure calculations. We used the projector-augmented wave method for the calculations of total ...
