  2. Introduction Magnetic shape-memory effect refers to the change of shape (deformation) of a magnetic material undergoing a martensitic transition caused by either:  inducing the transition or  rearranging the martensitic variants by means of an applied magnetic field Prototypical shape-memory alloy: Ni-Mn-Ga Maximum induced deformation ~ 10% with an applied field ~ 10 kOe  two orders of magnitude larger than in magnetosrictive Terfenol-D (Tb0.27Dy0.73Fe2) Fundamentals of the Magnetic Shape-Memory Effect: Material properties and atomistic simulations, Ringberg Castle (Germany), February 14-16, 2007

  17. Precursors in phase transitions • Nanoscale structures which occur above phase transitions. They announce that a system is preparing for the phase transition before it actually takes place. • Often observed in ferroic and multiferroic materials. • Revealed by high-resolution imaging techniques well above the (expected) phase transition. • Detected as anomalies in diffraction experiments (intense diffuse scattering) and in the response to certain exitations. • Not expected in systems undergoing first-order transions (which are expected to occur abruptly). • In martensites, related to low restoring forces in specific lattice directions (transition path).

  30. Conclusions In Heusler alloys the relative phase stability is (to a large extent)controlled by e/a. Compared to other shape-memory alloys, Ni-Mn-Ga shows unique pretransitional behaviour which is a consequence of spin-phonon coupling. Strong softening of the 1/3[110]TA2 phonon and large magnetisation is required for a first-order intermediate transition to occur. The intermediate phase almost preserves cubic symmetry and results from the freezing of 1/3[110]TA2 phonon.
