Comparative study of structural and magnetic properties of ribbon and bulk Ni55Fe19Ga26 Heusler alloy
The influence of the fabrication method on the magnetostructural properties of a Ni55Fe19Ga26 Heusler alloy, obtained both as a ribbon, by melt-spinning, and as a pellet, by arc-melting, has been analyzed.

| Sumario: | The influence of the fabrication method on the magnetostructural properties of a Ni55Fe19Ga26 Heusler alloy, obtained both as a ribbon, by melt-spinning, and as a pellet, by arc-melting, has been analyzed. It has been found that, while the arc-melting technique leads to the precipitation of the gamma phase and to a non-modulated martensite structure, the alloy prepared by melt-spinning presents a fully 14M modulated martensitic structure at room temperature. The tetragonal non-modulated martensite in the arc-melted bulk sample transforms into the 14M structure after a long thermal treatment (at 1073 K for 24 h) and subsequent quenching. Characteristic temperatures of the martensitic transformation are higher for melt-spun ribbons than for bulk sample, due to the precipitation of the gamma phase and consequent different martensite composition. However, while the martensitic transformation temperature is practically constant in the case of the bulk sample, it changes by 150 K in the case of the ribbon sample submitted to the same thermal treatment applied to bulk samples. Finally, it was found that the martensitic transformation occurs in the paramagnetic regime of both types of samples. |
