Abstract
A series of Mn 50Ni 50− x In x ( x = 9.75, 10, 10.25, 10.5 10.75, and 11) ferromagnetic shape memory alloys with Mn content as high as 50 at.% were prepared. The martensitic transformation (MT), magnetocaloric effect, and magnetoresistance in Mn 50Ni 50− x In x alloys were investigated. With x increasing from 9.75 to 11, the MT temperature decreased from 270 to 110 K and the Curie temperature of austenite remains relatively constant. Large positive magnetic entropy change and negative magnetoresistance were observed around MT temperatures in these alloys. Large magnetic entropy change and magnetoresistance would be ascribed to the temperature and magnetic field-induced MT in Mn 50Ni 50− x In x alloys.
