Abstract
We study the martensitic transformation (MT) of metamagnetic shape memory alloy Ni50Mn34.5In15.5 in the magnetic fields up to 12 T. The observed dependence of the MT temperature, Tm, on the field is highly nonlinear. As far as magnetization change, ΔM, remains field-independent, a depart from linearity of Tm(H) function is attributed to a decrease of the transformation entropy, ΔS. This decrease correlates with the parameter (TC-Tm), controlled by magnetic field, where TC is the Curie temperature of austenite, and with the dependence of ΔS on the width of the MT temperature interval deduced from a ferroelastic model of MT.
