Abstract The off‐stoichiometric Ni2MnGa Heusler alloy is a magnetic shape‐memory alloy
capable of reversible magnetic‐field‐induced strains (MFIS). These are generated by twin …

Room temperature magnetic refrigeration is an energy saving and environmentally‐friendly
technology, which has developed rapidly from a basic idea to prototype devices. The …

Twenty one years ago, the discovery of the giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) at room
temperature completely revolutionized the magnetocaloric materials field demonstrating the …

This review focuses on the magnetocaloric effect with special attention to nanoscale thin
films and heterostructures. The authors outline the general phenomenon of the …

Due to their large strains and multifunctionality, magnetic shape memory alloys are of
particular interest for microsystems. Here epitaxially grown metamagnetic Ni–Co–Mn–In …

In this article, a magnetocaloric effect of electrodeposited Ni-Mn-Ga-based Heusler
nanowires is presented using the indirect approach. The structural characterization revealed …

Small-sized materials with large surface to volume ratio favor heat transfer during magnetic
refrigeration cycling and thus may help enhancing the refrigeration efficiency. Here, high Fe …

We have studied magnetic and structural properties of the Heusler-type Ni-Mn-Ga glass-
coated microwires prepared by Tailor-Ulitovsky technique. As-prepared sample presents …

Giant magnetocaloric effect in Ni-Mn-X (X= In, Sn, Sb) Heusler alloys has been revealed due
to the significant shift of the martensite transformation temperatures under a bias magnetic …
