Monte Carlo Study of the Polycrystalline Ni2MnGa Heusler Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, we report on the theoretical calculations of the temperature dependence of magnetization in Ni2MnGa alloy by Monte Carlo simulation. The calculations have been carried out for the single crystal and polycrystalline structures with 16, 32 and 64 magnetic domains. The theoretically calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
