Abstract
We report the magnetic and magneto-optical (MO) properties of the Heusler Ni43.7Mn43.6In12.7 alloy ribbon in martensitic and austenitic states. The samples were produced by rapid solidification using the melt-spinning technique. The difference between the transformation temperatures obtained from magnetization and transverse Kerr effect (TKE) measurements shows that the chemical composition and/or microstructure are not identical in the bulk and at the ribbon surface. The TKE spectra profile in the spectral energy range of 0.5-3.5 eV does not change significantly at the martensitic transformation that indicates on a very similar electronic structure in martensitic and austenitic states.
