David Wagenknecht et al. present their fully relativistic density-functional theory treatment of nonzero temperatures. They calculate contributions of phonons and disorder to the temperature-dependent resistivity, anomalous Hall conductivity, and spin-resolved conductivity in ferromagnetic half-Heusler NiMnSb.

A practical guide to quantum phase transitions in quantum-dot-based tunable Josephson junctions by A. Kadlecová, M. Žonda, V. Pokorný, and T. Novotný you can now find in Physical Review Applied. Their results enable fast and efficient, yet reliable characterization and design of such nanoscopic tunable Josephson-junction devices.
