Abstract

In this paper, the Ni50−yCryMn37Sb13 + B2 (y = 0, 3, 5 and 7) Heusler system was fabricated by the conventional arc-melting method. Samples with low Cr-content (y = 0 and 3) exhibited a mixed phase of 4O and 10 M at room temperature, while the samples with y = 5 and 7 Cr-content crystallized to L21 phase with \({\text{Fm}}\overline{3}\text{m }\) space group. The martensitic transition temperature decreased with increasing Cr-content in the system. The temperature-dependent magnetization results at a magnetic field of 100 Oe revealed an intermartensitic phase transition. The temperature-dependent magnetization measurements under 104 Oe (1 T) demonstrated a phase transition from ferromagnetic austenite to weakly magnetic martensite between 300 and 200 K, depending on the substitution level. The presence of hysteresis in the MH curves confirmed a magnetic field-induced transformation in the samples. The field cooled (FC) MH hysteresis loops shifted to the negative axis, which indicates exchange bias (EB) effect in the samples. Arrott plots provided evidence for a first-order magnetic phase transition in the fabricated samples.
