摘要
A giant magnetic-field-induced strain (MFIS) of -3100 ppm has been obtained in Heusler alloy Ni52Mn22.2Ga25.8 single crystal in the [001] direction at a temperature from 23 to 31 degrees C. This MFIS reaches saturation in an applied field about 6 kOe, and exhibits the same amplitude with an opposite sign while the field is perpendicular to the samples. According to a previous model, this MFIS associates with the twin boundary motion. The martensitic self-strain has been found to be 2%, implying a preferential orientation of martensite variants. Results related to the magnetic properties are discussed. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)02545-0].
