摘要

In this study, we investigated the magnetocaloric response of a quinary Ni48Mn34In13Ga3Cu2 ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (FSMA). The alloy was synthesized by arc melting from high-purity elements and then annealed at 1173 K for 24 h to favor the formation of a fully ordered L21 austenite. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and isofield magnetization curves acquired at 5 mT confirmed the occurrence of a martensitic transformation near room temperature, characterized by a narrow thermal hysteresis of 6 K, and Curie temperature (TC) at 290 K. Room-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis verified the presence of a single-phase L21 austenite. The magnetic field-induced entropy changes (ΔSMag) were calculated from a series of isofield magnetization curves up to 2 T using a Maxwell relationship. The resulting ΔSMag value was 15.7, 8.2, and − 2.9 Jkg−1 K−1, corresponding to the first-order, reversible, and second-order transitions, respectively.
