First-principles study of Zn-doping effects on phase stability and magnetic anisotropy of Ni-Mn-Ga alloys

The effect of Zn doping on Ni-Mn-Ga magnetic shape memory alloy was studied by the first-principles calculations using exact muffin-tin orbital method in combination with the coherent-potential approximation and projector augmented-wave method. Trends in martensitic transformation temperature T _M a...
