Magnetic superelasticity and inverse magnetocaloric effect in Ni-Mn-In

Materials Science 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

Applying a magnetic field to a ferromagnetic Ni50_{50}Mn34_{34}In16_{16} alloy in the martensitic state induces a structural phase transition to the austenitic state. This is accompanied by a strain which recovers on removing the magnetic field giving the system a magnetically superelastic character. A further property of this alloy is that it also shows the inverse magnetocaloric effect. The magnetic superelasticity and the inverse magnetocaloric effect in Ni-Mn-In and their association with the first order structural transition is studied by magnetization, strain, and neutron diffraction studies under magnetic field.
