Abstract
Magnetization measurements have been carried out on the magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) Ni2Mn1.44−xCuxSn0.56 (0⩽x⩽0.09). On the basis of the experimental results, the phase diagram of Ni2Mn1.44−xCuxSn0.56 (0⩽x⩽0.09) alloys in the temperature-concentration plane has been determined. The resultant phase diagram is spanned by paramagnetic austenite (Para-A), ferromagnetic austenite (Ferro-A) and ferromagnetic martensite (Ferro-M) phases. The martensitic transition temperature TM makes a broad maximum as a function of x, whereas, in the austenite phase the Curie temperature TC decreases slightly with x. The TC of Ni2Mn1.415Cu0.025Sn0.56 was found to decrease linearly with pressure, whereas TM increased linearly with pressure. The values of dTM/dp and dTC/dp of Ni2Mn1.415Cu0.025Sn0.56 were found to be 0.88K/kbar and −0.31K/kbar, respectively.
