Large magnetic-field-induced strains in Ni2MnGa single crystals

Abstract: Strains of nearly 0.2% have been induced along [001] in unstressed crystals of Ni2MnGa with magnetic fields of 8 kOe applied at 265 K. These stains are associated with the superelastic motion of twin boundaries in the martensitic phase that is stable below about 274 K.

“…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 .…”

“…In fact, one of the most interesting properties is the high magnetoplasticity they show as a consequence of the magnetic field induced re-orientation of the magnetic martensitic variants. In addition, fundamental physics studies related to the coupling between structural, mechanical, magnetic and thermodynamic properties are field of intense work [1,2]. Concerning the Fe-Pd system, the face centered tetragonal (FCT) martensitic phase allows the magnetic shape memory effect by reorientation of martensite variants via twin boundary motion.…”

“…Ni 2 MnGa belongs to this category of Heusler alloys. [1][2][3] The Heusler alloys of this category may find their application as various devices, such as actuators, antenna, sensors etc. For the application purpose it is always desired that martensitic transition temperature is above the room temperature.…”
