Effects of Cu on the martensitic transformation and magnetic properties of Mn50Ni40In10 alloy

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/22/12/126201

Abstract The structures, the martensitic transformations, and the magnetic properties are studied systematically in Mn₅₀Ni_40-xCu_xIn₁₀, Mn_50-xCu_xNi₄₀In₁₀, and Mn₅₀Ni₄₀In_10-xCu_x alloys. The partial substitution of Ni by Cu reduces the martensitic transformation temperature, but has little influence on the Curie temperature of austenite. Comparatively, the martensitic transformation temperature increases and the Curie temperature of austenite decreases with the partial replacement of Mn or In by Cu. The magnetization difference between the austenite phase and the martensite phase reaches 70 emu/g in Mn₅₀Ni₃₉Cu₁In₁₀; a field-induced martensite-to-austenite transition is observed in this alloy.
