Publisher Summary The discovery of the ferromagnetic (FM) Heusler alloy Cu 2 MnAl, in the
beginning of the twentieth century, made considerable impact in the field of magnetism …

The Ni–Mn–Co–Sn alloy is prepared by high-pressure annealing method. Besides the
enhanced martensitic transformation temperature and the Curie temperature of austenite, an …

The motion of domain walls and phase fronts in ferroelectric and ferroelastic materials
displays discrete, impulsive jumps, ie jerks, as indicators of avalanches on a broad range of …

Acoustic avalanches are a general feature of solids under stress, eg, evoked by external
compression or arising from internal processes like martensitic phase transformations. From …

The hydraulic pressure experiment was conducted on a pipe specimen to simulate active
defect evolvement of main cooling pi** in the nuclear power plant (NPP), and the acoustic …

We report a detailed investigation of the Ni 2 Mn Ga shape memory alloy through magnetic,
electronic, and thermal measurements. Our measurements of the anomalous Nernst effect …

The propagation of a phase front during a thermally induced martensitic transition is
discontinuous due to pinning at various defects, an effect which results in acoustic emission …

Magnetic and resistance measurements have been carried out on a Ni 43 Mn 41 Co 5 Sn 11
alloy annealed under high-pressure. Due to the existence of the intermediate phase, a …

The evolution of elastic properties with temperature and magnetic field was studied in two
differently heat-treated single crystals of the Ni–Mn–Ga magnetic shape memory alloy using …

Resistance measurement, in situ optical microscopic observation, thermal and magnetic
measurements have been carried out on Ni50Mn34In15. 5Al0. 5 alloy. The existence of a …
