The magnetostructural coupling between the structural and the magnetic transition has a
crucial role in magnetoresponsive effects in a martensitic-transition system. A combination of …

The crystal structure and magnetoresponsive properties of Fe-doped MnCoGe alloys have
been investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetic measurements. By alloying the …

A Ni-Mn-Ga single crystal with a modulated five-layered martensite structure is reported,
demonstrating giant magnetic field induced strain (MFIS) of 7.1% at room temperature and of …

All ferromagnetic materials show deterioration of magnetism-related properties such as
magnetization and magnetostriction with increasing temperature, as the result of gradual …

Magnetic domain structures of the Ni–Mn–Ga martensite were observed by means of type I
and type II magnetic contrast in scanning electron microscope. The different configuration of …

In Heusler-type alloy Ni2+ x− yMn1− xFeyGa, partial substitution of Mn for Ni causes the
temperatures of structural (martensitic) TM and magnetic TC (Curie point) phase transitions …

Modulated phases occur in numerous functional materials like giant ferroelectrics and
magnetic shape-memory alloys. To understand the origin of these phases, we employ and …

We study the temperature dependence and low and high temperature limits of the magnetic
shape memory effect (MSME) in five-layered tetragonal Ni–Mn–Ga martensite. Using a …

The magnetic shape memory effect can be classified as an example of the multiferroic effect
combining ferro-elasticity and (ferro) magnetism. After short overview of all known effects the …

Magnetoplasticity is the large magnetic-field-induced deformation of ferromagnetic
martensite. This effect is caused by a twin rearrangement. A strain-induced change of …
