Abstract
Ferromagnetic Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys undergo martensitic transformations leading to properties such as magnetic shape memory, magnetic field induced strain and magneto-caloric effects. The occurrence of such effects are closely related to the nature of magnetic interactions around the transition. These interactions can be closely examined by the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) technique. Here, we report on the results of FMR studies performed at various temperatures in the martensite and austenite states of powder samples and discuss the mixed nature of the magnetic interactions in the martensitic state.
