Temperature dependence of structure and magnetic anisotropy of single crystalline Ni48.8Mn28.6Ga22.6 alloy exhibiting giant field-induced strain or magnetic shape memory (MSM) effect was studied in the temperature range 80–420 K. Upon cooling the alloy transforms from cubic austenite at 307 K to the martensite which exhibits five-layered (modulated) tetragonal structure (5M) with a = 0.595 nm and c = 0.559 nm. Reverse transformation occurs at 317 K. An additional intermartensitic transition takes place at about 95 K. The basic mechanism of the MSM effect was corroborated by direct simultaneous measurements of strain and magnetization as a function of magnetic field. The magnetic anisotropy of the martensite exhibiting the giant strain was determined from the magnetization curves measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer at different temperatures. The anisotropy of the single variant 5M martensite is uniaxial with easy axis along the tetragonal c axis. The first magnetic anisotropy constant is Ku1 = 2.0×105 J/m3 at 283 K and increase to Ku1 = 2.65×105 J/m3 at 130 K. Above room temperature the anisotropy steeply decreases. The second anisotropy constant is negligible and less than 4% of the first anisotropy constant. ©2002 American Institute of Physics.
