摘要
Precursor phenomena were investigated in a Ni-Fe-Ga alloy close to the stoichiometric Heusler composition Ni2FeGa. In particular, the phonon-dispersion curves, the diffuse scattering and the magnetic properties of a single crystalline Ni51.5Fe21.5Ga27 alloy were measured as a function of temperature. The TA(2) branch along the [110] direction of the L2(1) phase shows a significant phonon softening around xi = 0.35 resulting in a marked dip which becomes more pronounced as the temperature decreases. Diffuse neutron-scattering measurements performed along [(xi) over bar xi 0] direction around Bragg reflections also reveal the presence of small satellite peaks at xi = 0.33 whose intensity increases on approaching the martensitic transformation temperature. Both elastic and inelastic-scattering anomalies confirm the occurrence of premartensitic phenomena in Ni-Fe-Ga alloys. The influence of an external magnetic field (6 T) on the anomalous phonon is shown to be negligible and just a small shift of the transformation temperature takes place because of the magnetic field.
