摘要
Magnetic properties and magnetic entropy change DS were investigated in Heusler alloy Ni43Mn43Co3Sn11. With decreasing temperature this alloy undergoes a martensitic structural transition at T-M = 188K. The incorporation of Co atoms enhances ferromagnetic exchange for parent phases. Austenitic phase with cubic structure shows strong ferromagnetic behaviors with Curie temperature T-C(A) at 346 K, while martensitic phase shows weak ferromagnetic properties. An external magnetic field can shift T-M to a lower temperature at a rate of 4.4 K/T, and a field-induced structural transition from martensitic to austenitic state takes place at temperatures near but below T-M. As a result, a great magnetic entropy change with positive sign appears. The size of Delta S reaches 33 J/kg K under 5T magnetic field. More important is that the Delta S displays a table-like peak under 5T, which is favorable for Ericsson-type refrigerators. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
