Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) are promising candidates for application as actuators, sensors, magnetomechanical devices, harvesters, and magnetic cooling systems. In their low-temperature, low-symmetry phases they may also posses a considerable magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which is necessary for the FSMA but may make them useful as low-cost permanent magnets. Co(Fe)-Ni-Al(Ga) alloys are an interesting subgroup, as these materials are ductile, cheap, and easily synthesized, while possessing a high Curie and martensitic transformation temperature. In this work, we report on a systematic first-principles study of the structural and magnetic properties of Co-Ni-Al, Fe-Ni-Al, and Fe-Ni-Ga Heusler alloys. We compared ground state energy and magnetic properties for different structural motives and degree of order and predict the structural stability at zero and finite temperatures.
