Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys Ni$_{2+x}$Mn$_{1-x}$Ga were studied in the range of compositions $0.16 \le x 0.36$. Experimental phase diagram, constructed from differential scanning calorimetry, transport and magnetic measurements, exhibits distinctive feature a compositional interval $0.18 0.27$, where martensitic transitions merge first-order magnetostructural transition ferromagnetic martensite $\leftrightarrow$ paramagnetic austenite. Observed this non-monotonous behavior temperature...
Recent developments on Heusler alloys including Ni–Mn–X and Ni–Co–Mn–X (X = Ga, In, Sn,…) demonstrate multiferroic phase transformations with large abrupt changes in lattice parameters of several percent corresponding ferromagnetic ordering near the transition temperatures. These materials enable a new generation thermomagnetic generators that convert heat to electricity within small temperature difference below 5 K.

Abstract Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) are essential acids. PUFA synthases composed of three to four subunits each create a specific without undesirable byproducts.
