Structural magneto static and magnetodynamic properties of ni mn z and ni mn x z x cu fe co z sn in thin films

Abstract

Ni Mn based Heusler alloys are well investigated in the bulk form and are known to display martensite phase to austenite M 239 8218 171 A phase structural transition in specific alloy compositions Due to this unique feature these alloys show several interesting property like large magneto caloric effect MCE considerable exchange bias large magneto resistance which could be exploited for application But these alloys have not been well explored in their thin film form So the question as to how
