摘要
A study of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the ferromagnetic Heusler alloys Ni50Mn37+xSb13-x (x=0,0.5,1) has been carried out through magnetization measurements. An inverse magnetocaloric effect was observed in the vicinity of the first order martensitic transition. A maximum positive magnetic entropy change of Delta S-m approximate to 19 J/kg K at approximately 297 K for a magnetic field change of 5 T was observed. It is demonstrated that the martensitic transformation temperature, and the corresponding Delta S-m, can be tuned through a slight variation in composition. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
