Title: Study of indium doped shape-memory alloy Ni2MnGa Author: Petr Cejpek Department: Department of Condensed Matter Physics Supervisor: RNDr. Milan Dopita, PhD., Department of Condensed Matter Physics Abstract: The alloys related to Ni-Mn-Ga system exhibit effects connected to the magnetic shape-memory and martensitic transformation and therefore attract attention of researchers for their application potential. Properties and especially transformation temperatures are strongly dependent on composition, doping and also on external conditions as a magnetic field or pressure. The main aim of the work was to prepare own single crystals of Ni2MnGa1−xInx and to study their properties with respect to the temperature and applied fields in dependence on a various indium doping. The transformation temperatures obtained from the measurement of electrical resistivity and magnetisation re- vealed the systematic decrease of martensitic transformation temperature TM , pre-martensitic transformation temperature TP and Curie temperature TC. The martensitic transformation should vanish at indium concentration of x ≈ 0.10. The decrease with indium content is much faster than in the study published previously on the polycrystalline samples (vanishing at x ≈ 0.20). This dis- crepancy is probably caused by the residual stress...
