- The equilibrium magnetic field, μ0H0, linearly increases with decreasing temperature just below the martensitic transformation temperature. The value of dμ0H0/dT is about 0.22 T/K and gives the value of the entropy change during the martensitic transformation ΔS = 14.1 J/(K·kg) from the Clausius-Clapeyron relation. The obtained value is in good agreement with the result given by the DSC measurement of 15.2 J/(K·kg).
- The equilibrium magnetic field, μ0H0, tends to become flat in the low temperature region, showing arresting behavior of the martensitic transformation, analogous with what occurs in the Ni(Co)-Mn-Z (Z = In, Sn, Ga, Al) alloys. The thermal transformation arrest temperature of the preset alloy is about 50 K.
- The temperature dependence of the magnetic field hysteresis, μ0Hhys, well follows the fitting curves based on the model for the plastic deformation introduced by the dislocations. The difference of the sweeping rate of the applied magnetic field is reflected in the experimental results and activation energy of around 1.06 eV for Ni41Co9Mn39Sb11 was obtained.
- Spontaneous magnetization at 4.2 K for the magnetically induced parent phase of Ni41Co9Mn39Sb11 is 5.4 μB/f.u. This value deviates from the extrapolation from the concentration dependence of the magnetic moment of Ni-Mn-Sb ternary alloy system. The experimental fact suggests a change of the magnetic configuration between Mn atoms at the 4a site and Mn at the 4b site by Co substitution.
