Phase stability and magnetic-field-induced martensitic transformation in Mn-rich NiMnSn alloys

A series of Ni50-xMn41+xSn9 (x = 0–19) alloys from Ni-rich to Mn-rich composition were prepared, and the composition dependence of phase transitions and magnetic properties were investigated. No γ-phase can be observed until x = 17. Martensitic transformation from ferromagnetic austenite to weak-mag...
