TLDR
In this paper, a magnetic-field-induced strain of about 9.5% was observed at ambient temperature in a magnetic field of less than 1 T in NiMnGa orthorhombic seven-layered martensitic phase.
Abstract
Giant magnetic-field-induced strain of about 9.5% was observed at ambient temperature in a magnetic field of less than 1 T in NiMnGa orthorhombic seven-layered martensitic phase. The strain proved to be caused by magnetic-field-controlled twin boundary motion. According to an analysis of x-ray diffraction data, the crystal structure of this phase is nearly orthorhombic, having lattice parameters a=0.619 nm, b=0.580 nm, and c=0.553 nm (in cubic parent phase coordinates) at ambient temperature. Seven-layer shuffling-type modulation along the (110)[110]p system was recorded. The results of mechanical tests and magnetic anisotropy property measurements are also reported.

Correlation of electronic structure and martensitic transition in epitaxialNi2MnGafilms

TL;DR: The martensitic transition from the cubic austenite phase to the low symmetry martensite phase depends strongly on the chosen substrate as discussed by the authors, and the observed changes are in agreement with theoretical predictions.

Boron’s effect on martensitic transformation and magnetocaloric effect in Ni43Mn46Sn11Bx alloys

TL;DR: The most used method for changing the martensitic transformation temperatures in the ferromagnetic shape memory alloys is tuning the valence election concentration e∕a In as discussed by the authors, the authors reported an alternative way, i.e., introducing few interstitial boron atoms in Ni43Mn46Sn11 alloy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model accounts quantitatively for the dependence of strain on magnetic field and external stress using as input parameters only measured quantities, and the strain versus field curves exhibit appreciable hysteresis associated with the motion of the twin boundaries.
