Abstract

Spin momentum density in Ni2Mn1.4Sn0.6 shape memory alloy has been measured using magnetic Compton scattering technique. The experiment has been performed using 182 keV circularly polarized synchrotron radiation at temperature 10 K at SPring-8, Japan. Experimental magnetic Compton profile has been decomposed to determine the site specific magnetic moments, where the magnetic moment at Mn site was found to be dominating. It is seen that the total spin moment in present non-stoichiometric alloy is smaller than that of stoichiometric Ni2MnSn.
