EXPLORATION OF NEW MULTIFUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC MATERIALS BASED ON A VARIETY OF HEUSLER ALLOYS AND RARE-EARTH COMPOUNDS

Magnetic, magnetocaloric, magnetotransport and magnetoelastic properties of Ni-Mn-X (X = In, and Ga) Heusler alloys and La-Fe-Si based rare earth compounds have been synthesized and investigated by x-ray diffraction, magnetization, strain, and electrical resistivity measurements. The phase transiti...
