Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys: Alternatives to Ni–Mn–Ga
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper intends to review the state-of-the-art in the field of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys different than Ni–Mn–Ga, developed in the ast years. It starts with the effects of additions of different fourth elements to Ni–Mn–Ga and continues with the review of other Heusler (or B2) i-based and Co-based alloy systems, like Ni–Mn–X, Ni–Fe–Ga, Co–Ni–Al and Co–Ni–Ga alloys. Finally, ferromagnetic Fe-based alloys, like e3Pt and Fe–Pd and a new mechanism of magnetic actuation in Ni–Mn–In–Co, recently introduced, will be treated. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Experimental Study on the Magnetomechanical Characteristics of Ni-Mn-Ga Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloy Single Crystals
Magnetic shape memory properties of Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals were characterized by measurement of stress-induced martensite reorientation under constant magnetic fields. Also magnetic field-induced strain as a function of the applied magnetic field under different constant compressive stress levels has been investigated. All the experiments were performed at room temperature in which the sample...
متن کاملCrystallographic Characterization on Polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga Alloys with Strong Preferred Orientation
Heusler type Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys can demonstrate excellent magnetic shape memory effect in single crystals. However, such effect in polycrystalline alloys is greatly weakened due to the random distribution of crystallographic orientation. Microstructure optimization and texture control are of great significance and challenge to improve the functional behaviors of polycrys...

In this joint experimental and ab initio study, we focused on the influence of the chemical composition and martensite phase transition on the electronic, magnetic, optical, and magneto-optical properties of the ferromagnetic shape-memory Ni-Mn-Ga alloys. The polar magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) spectra for the polycrystalline sample of the Ni-Mn-Ga alloy of Ni60Mn13Ga27 composition were me...
متن کاملElastic constants of Ni-Mn-Ga magnetic shape memory alloys
We have measured the adiabatic second order elastic constants of two Ni-Mn-Ga magnetic shape memory crystals with different martensitic transition temperatures, using ultrasonic methods. The temperature dependence of the elastic constants has been followed across the ferromagnetic transition and down to the martensitic transition temperature. Within experimental errors no noticeable change in a...
