ABSTRACT

Extensive measurements of the temperature dependencies of resistivity under constant magnetic fields made it possible to clarify the premartensitic transition sensitivity to applied magnetic field up to 14 T in polycrystalline and monocrystalline Ni–Mn–Ga alloys with compositions close to the stoichiometric one. A low-field minimum on the transition temperature versus magnetic field curves is found in both alloys. This minimum is attributed to the magnetic anisotropy contribution to the Clausius–Clapeyron relationship, which describes the premartensitic transition. This contribution is confirmed by magnetization loops measurements.
