Abstract

A three-dimensional Monte Carlo model has been used for theoretical description of magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Ni2.18Mn0.82Ga Heusler alloys undergoing first order magnetostructural phase transition. For this alloy, calculated temperature dependence of magnetization, magnetic contribution to the total specific heat and magnetic entropy change ΔSmag are in good qualitatively agreement with available experimental data.
