Abstracts

EN

The present study is focused on the compressibility of Ni_2MnX (X = In, Sn, Sb) Heusler alloys, which were investigated from the first principles. The study of the pressure effect on the magnetic properties of Ni_2MnX (X = In, Sn, Sb) predicted the decrease in the total magnetic moment from ambient pressure to pressure above 20 GPa.
