Abstract

We report parallel and perpendicular magnetostriction measurements performed in polycrystalline Ni2MnGa to shed light on the magnetoelastic coupling, responsible for the ordinary magnetostriction, and giant magnetic field-induced strains (MFIS). Parallel magnetostriction is negative while its perpendicular component switches from positive to negative at the martensitic transformation. The saturation magnetostriction is negative, takes moderate values and has a large increase in absolute value at both pre- and martensitic temperatures, arising from the lattice softening at the transitions. The reported values are those of the true magnetostriction and can be a starting point for further studies of MFIS.
