Abstract

The behavior of twin variants reorientation in Ni50Mn 27.5Ga22.5 single crystal under the applied mechanical stress and magnetic field was investigated. Through three times of compression, the twinning stress was reduced from 4.4MPa to 0.4MPa, and 2.5% stress induced strain was obtained. During the succedent MFIS measurement, with the increase of measurement number of times, the critical field (μ 0H) c at which the MFIS jumps became lower, and the corresponding jumping magnetostrain εj, and the maximal magnetostrain εmax ascended. At last, a quasi single-variant state was realized, and the sample showed repeatable 6.21% MFIS, which is close to the theoretical value (1-c/a)*100%. The results are discussed from the point of martensitic microstructure evolution.
