Abstract
In this article, a magnetocaloric effect of electrodeposited Ni-Mn-Ga - based Heusler nanowires is presented using the indirect approach. The structural characterization revealed that the prepared nanowires exhibit a martensitic transformation capability above room temperature (at 350 K). The martensitic transformation results in a relatively high magnetic entropy change of> 2.5 J.kg−1. K−1. Moreover, the magnetocaloric effect analysis reveals a maximum magnetic entropy change at a moderate magnetic field of only 2 T. The presented cheap fabrication method, together with the strong magnetocaloric response of the nanowires at moderate magnetic fields, opens up new possibilities in the field of nanosized Heusler alloys operating as refrigerants, actuators, or sensors
