摘要
The pronounced magnetocaloric properties of Ni2 +/- xMn1 +/- yGa1 +/- z alloys are strongly dependent on both the composition and the inter-atomic distances. Moreover, the off-stoichiometric Mn- and Ni-rich Ni2MnGa compounds exhibit mutually different magnetocaloric behaviour under high hydrostatic pressure. A pressure-induced co-occurrence of martensitic transformation and magnetic transition was found for Mn-rich compounds, resulting in a substantial increase of magnetocaloric effect. In contrast to this, the magnetocaloric effect was partially suppressed in the Ni-rich compounds under high pressure. These results reflect the specific role of Ni in the martensitic transformation of Ni2MnGa alloys. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
