Abstract
As novel tools to study magnetic shape memory alloys, a high-speed optical microscope system and a measurement system of magnetocaloric effects (MCEs) in pulsed magnetic fields are developed. Using the high-speed imaging system, successive changes in the surface morphology are visualized in the process of magnetic field-induced reverse martensitic transformation in Ni 45Co5Mn36.7In13.3. The MCEs of Gd studied in pulsed fields show reasonable agreement with the earlier results obtained in steady fields. Application of high magnetic fields up to 55 T realizes a gigantic adiabatic heating of 63 K.
