“…T he ferromagnetic martensitic transition (FMMT) [1][2][3] , a coinciding crystallographic and magnetic transition mainly found in Fe-based and Heusler ferromagnetic alloys, is receiving increasing attention from both the magnetism and the material science community due to the massive variations of associated magnetoresponsive effects, such as magnetic-field-induced shape memory/strain effect [4][5][6][7] , magnetoresistance 8,9 , Hall effect 10 and magnetocaloric effect 11,12 . These effects are of interest for many potential technological applications like magnetic actuators 13,14 , sensors 15 , energy-harvesting devices 16 and solid-state magnetic refrigeration 17 .…”
