Martensitic Transformation in Ni-Mn-Sn-Co Heusler Alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thermal and structural austenite to martensite reversible transition was studied in melt spun ribbons of Ni50Mn40Sn5Co5, Ni50Mn37.5Sn7.5Co5 and Ni50Mn35Sn10Co5 (at. %) alloys. Analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns confirms that all alloys have martensitic structure at room temperature: four layered orthorhombic 4O for Ni50Mn40Sn5Co5, four layered orthorhombic 4O and seven-layered monoclinic 14M for Ni50Mn37.5Sn7.5Co5 and seven-layered monoclinic 14M for Ni50Mn35Sn5Co5. Analysis of differential scanning calorimetry scans shows that higher enthalpy and entropy changes are obtained for alloy Ni50Mn37.5Sn7.5Co5, whereas transition temperatures increases as increasing valence electron density.

Ab Initio and Monte Carlo Approaches For the Magnetocaloric Effect in Co- and In-Doped Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler Alloys
The complex magnetic and structural properties of Co-doped Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys have been investigated by using a combination of first-principles calculations and classical Monte Carlo simulations. We have restricted the investigations to systems with 0, 5 and 9 at% Co. Ab initio calculations show the presence of the ferrimagnetic order of austenite and martensite depending on the compositio...
متن کاملA critical discussion of calculated modulated structures , Fermi surface nesting and phonon softening in magnetic shape memory alloys Ni 2 Mn ( Ga , Ge , Al ) and Co 2 Mn ( Ga , Ge )
A series of first principles calculations have been carried out in order to discuss electronic structure, phonon dynamics, structural instabilities and the nature of martensitic transformations of the Heusler alloys Ni2Mn(Ga, Ge, Al) and Co2Mn(Ga, Ge). The calculations show that besides electronic pecularities like Fermi–surface nesting, hybridizing optical and acoustic phonon modes are importa...

متن کاملMagnetic properties and magnetic entropy change in Heusler alloys Ni 50 Mn 35 − x Cu x Sn 15
The influence of Cu substitution for Mn on magnetic properties and magnetic entropy change has been investigated in Heusler alloys, Ni50Mn35−xCuxSn15 (x = 2,5 and 10). With increasing Cu content from x = 2 to x = 5, the martensitic transition temperature, TM , decreases from 220 K to 120 K. Further increasing Cu up to x = 10 results in the disappearance of TM . For samples Ni50Mn33Cu2Sn15 and N...
متن کاملAthermal and Isothermal Martensitic Transformations Induced at Room Temperature by Ultra High Magnetic Field
Effects of ultra high magnetic field of both pulse and steady types on martensitic transformation have been studied, using Fe-Ni-Mn, Fe-Ni-Mn-C alloys with the supplemental tests on Fe-Ni-C and Fe-NiCo-Ti alloys. It is found that the martensitic transformation is induced at room temperature not only athermally but also isothermally either by pulse magnetic field or by steady magnetic field for ...
