Abstract

Strains induced by magnetic fields applied at room temperature were measured for three single crystalline Ni-Mn-Ga alloys with similar magnetic properties and martensitic transformation characteristics- one containing 5-layered tetragonal martensite (alloy A), the others containing 7-layered monoclinic martensite (alloys B,C). Strains of 1.8% have been achieved in alloy A while alloys B and C showed only strains comparable to the true magnetostriction.
