摘要: 5% negative magnetoresistance (MR) at room temperature has been observed in bulk Ni2+xMn1−xGa. This indicates the possibility of using Ni2+xMn1−xGa as magnetic sensors. We have measured MR ferromagnetic state for different compositions (x=0–0.2) austenitic, premartensitic, and martensitic phases. is found to increase with x. While x=0 varies almost linearly austenitic premartensitic phases, phase it shows a cusplike shape. explained by changes twin domain structures phase. In phase, which does not structure, agrees theory based on s-d scattering model.
