摘要: We investigate the martensitic transition of single crystalline Ni2MnGa 110 /Al2O3 1120 and 100 /MgO films using magnetometry, x-ray diffraction, absorption spectroscopy, magnetic circular dichroism. The from cubic austenite phase to low symmetry martensite depends strongly on chosen substrate. For oriented Al2O3, is significantly more stable than for MgO. A remarkable change Ni spectra occurs at transition, indicating specific changes electronic structure. observed are in agreement with theoretical predictions. orbital spin momentum ratio moment increases entering state, thus explaining macroscopic increase anisotropy.
