Evidence of Change in the Density of States during the Martensitic Phase Transformation of Ni-Mn-In Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys

Specific heat measurements were performed at low temperatures for Ni50Mn50−xInx alloys to determine their Debye temperatures (θD) and electronic specific heat coefficients (γ). For x ≤ 15, where the ground state is the martensite (M) phase, θD decreases linearly and γ increases slightly with increas...
