“…One of the most suitable Heusler alloy nanowires' preparation technique employs anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as an electrodeposition template. [97,[124][125][126][127][128][129][130] The disadvantage of this method amounts to the optimization of the electrodeposition conditions, which may be time-consuming. In contrast, the prepared nanowires have a homogeneously distributed behavior and exhibit a uniform morphology.…”

Heusler alloys present a large group of binary, [1][2][3][4][5] ternary, [6][7][8][9][10] or quaternary [11][12][13][14] compounds with a wide variety of physical properties. [15][16][17][18] Thanks to their extensive tunability [19][20][21][22] based on their chemical composition, crystal, or electronic structure, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29] they attract interest in the fundamental and application approach. [30][31][32][33][34] Particularly, spin polarization, [33,35] superconductivity, [36][37][38][39] shape memory, [40][41][42][43][44][45] or magnetocaloric behavior [28,40,[46][47][48][49][50] have triggered significant interest in the experimental and theoretical perspective.Based on the chemical composition and the resulting properties, Heusler alloys, also known as full-Heusler alloys with the stoichiometry X 2 YZ, can be divided into several groups according to their physical properties. [51] Co 2 YZ-based Heusler can be considered the leading group of materials showing high spin polarization (P) or even half metallicity (P ¼ 100%). [52][53][54][55][56][57] However, theoretical and experimental studies point to the high sensitivity of spin polarization on the structural disorder. [58] Here, the L2 1 crystalline phase exhibits the highest structural ordering, essential for achieving the required spin polarization values. [59] In contrast, while the mutual exchange of the atoms on the Y-Z position (B2 disorder) has a low influence on the spin polarization values, the X-Y or X-Y-Z disorders (D0 3 or A2, respectively) may significantly decrease spin polarization values. [55,60,61] The presented disadvantage can be solved by a suitable chemical composition or a proper method of preparation of Heusler alloys. [62,63] Stoichiometric and off-stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Z- [64][65][66] and Ni-Fe-Z-based Heusler alloys [67][68][69] are well-known magnetocaloric, shape memory, or even magnetic shape memory materials. [70,71] The mentioned Heusler alloys undergo a structural transformation from a low-temperature martensitic phase to a high-temperature austenitic phase, [51,[64][65][66][72][73][74] which may significantly influence the magnetic entropy change ΔS M and the intensity of the magnetocaloric effect. [75,76] Additionally, Heusler alloys consist of cheap elements like Ni, Fe, Mn, Co, Ga, and In, and thus may be considered low-cost counterparts for typical magnetocaloric material based on Gd, Rh, or other rare-earth elements. [77][78][79][80][81] Another advantage of the Ni-Mn-Zand Ni-Fe-Z-based Heusler alloys consists in the tunability of their structural and magnetic properties. Depending on the

In this article, the downsizing of functional Heusler alloys is discussed, focusing on the published results dealing with Heusler alloy nanowires. The theoretical information inspired the fabrication of novel nanowires that are presented in the results section of the article. Three novel nanowires were fabricated with the compositions of Ni66Fe21Ga13, Ni58Fe28In14, and Ni50Fe31Sn19. The Ni66Fe21Ga13 nanowires were fabricated, aiming to improve the stoichiometry of previous functional Ni-Fe-Ga Heusler nanomaterials with a functional behavior above room temperature. They exhibit a phase transition at the temperature of ≈375 K, which results in a magnetocaloric response of |ΔSM| ≈ 0.12 J·kg−1·K−1 at the magnetic field change of only μ0ΔH = 1 T. Novel Heusler alloy Ni58Fe28In14 nanowires, as well as Ni50Fe31Sn19 nanowires, are analyzed for the first time, and their magnetic properties are discussed, introducing a simple electrochemical approach for the fabrication of nanodimensional alloys from mutually immiscible metals.
