摘要
A simultaneous magnetic and structural transition is found for Ni2 + xMn1-xGa at 0.18less than or equal toxless than or equal to0.2. The existence of a composition range for observing the co-occurrent transition and the composition dependence of the critical temperatures are discussed in the light of the expected difference between the Curie temperatures of the austenitic and martensitic phases. A giant magnetic entropy change is deduced for the three samples, with a maximum value of the order of \DeltaS(m)\ = 15 J/kg K for a field span of 1.8 T. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
