Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Heusler Materials: Synthesis, Microstructure Characterization and Magnetostructural Properties

An overview of the processing, characterization and magnetostructural properties of ferromagnetic NiMnX (X = group IIIA–VA elements) Heusler alloys is presented. This type of alloy is multiferroic—exhibits more than one ferroic property—and is hence multifunctional. Exa...
