Disclosing the role of solidification dynamics on the structural features, magnetic properties and dynamic magnetic behavior of a NiMnSn Heusler alloy

We report here a systematic investigation of the structural features, magnetic properties and dynamic magnetic behavior of Ni50Mn37Sn13 Heusler alloy solidified by using ceramic and metallic molds, which allow us to modify the solidification dynamics of the system without atmosphere control. Our findings reveal interesting modifications, not just in the structural properties of the material, but also in the quasi-static and dynamic magnetic properties of the samples. This analysis amplifies the spectrum of Ni50Mn37Sn13 Heusler alloys obtained using the induction furnace technique without a controlled atmosphere, placing such samples as interesting sensor elements in magnetic devices.
