摘要
Heusler alloy Mn2NiGa has been developed by synthesizing a series of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys Mn25+xNi50-xGa25 (x=0-25). Mn2NiGa exhibits a martensitic transformation around room temperature with a large thermal hysteresis up to 50 K and a lattice distortion as large as 21.3% and has a quite high Curie temperature of 588 K. The martensite shows a high-saturated field up to 2 T. The excellent two-way shape memory behavior with a strain of 1.7% was observed in the single crystal Mn2NiGa. The magnetic-field-controlled effect created a total strain up to 4.0% and changed the sign of the shape deformation effectively. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
