Abstract Scope |
Heusler alloys, discovered serendipitously at the beginning of the twentieth century, have emerged in the twenty-first century as exciting materials for numerous remarkable functional applications, including spintronics and thermoelectric devices. The basic structural characteristic is an ordered structure with an FCC superlattice and a BCC unit cell. Heusler alloys are classified into full Heusler (X2Y1Z1), half Heusler (X1Y1Z1), quaternary Heusler and inverse Heusler. We review the discovery of these materials, the principles behind their magnetic and electronic properties, the mechanical properties, and the magnetic shape memory effect that some of them exhibit. We discuss the current challenges and future directions. In spite of the intense research on their functional properties, there has been little effort to establish their mechanical performance. |
