| In this study the effect of Fe for Ni substitution in Ni44Co6Mn39Sn11 metamagnetic shape memory alloys on their structure, magneto-structural transformation characteristics, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties was studied. The results show that the structure and martensite transformation behavior strongly depends on the Fe concentration. The martensitic transformation temperature decreases with 1 at.% of Fe and is suppressed with higher Fe content. It was further found that substitution of Fe for Ni leads to lowering of the value of magnetic entropy change. |
