THERMAL STRAIN AND MAGNETIZATION STUDIES OF THE FERROMAGNETIC HEUSLER SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS NI2MNG

Variations in the mechanical properties or in the coefficient of thermal expansion in the matrix and precipitates, which are present in many alloys, also result in local stresses and cracks. These mechanisms influence the material’s s[r]
