Abstract
The effect of martensitic transformation on the transport and optical properties of Cu-4.9Mn-23.4Al (at.%) alloy is reported. The resistivity measurements revealed the transformation temperatures Ms =284K and Af=303K. The optical properties of Cu-4.9Mn-23.4Al (at.%) alloy have been investigated at several temperatures near the region of austenite-martensite transformation. It was shown that intraband absorption is dominates in alloy for ħω < 2.5 eV energy range. Plasma Ωp and relaxation γ frequencies of free charge carriers for Cu-4.9Mn-23.4Al (at.%) alloy were evaluated at several temperatures on the basis of Drude analysis of the alloy optical properties in the intraband absorption region. The growth of electrical resistance induced by martensitic transformation upon alloy cooling obtained directly from the resistivity measurements correlates nicely with the results derived from the optical measurements and can be explained by the reduction of the plasma frequency Ωp as well as increase in relaxation frequency γ of free charge carriers.
