Abstract:
Ni2.14Mnd0.55Sb1.3Heusler alloy has been prepared by the conventional arc melting method withvacuum-sealed annealing. The sample has been crystallized toFm3mspace group inL21phase, and it isthe parent crystal structure of the Ni-based Full Heusler alloy. It has been found that the sample has theCurie temperature (para to ferromagnetic transition temperature) at 290K. It was determined frommagnetization ~ temperature plot (M ~ T) as well as by employing the Arrott plot method. Also, criticalexponent analysis by employing the Arrott plot and Kouvel-Fisher methods confirm that the sample(Ni2.14Mn0.55Sb1.31) obeys meanfield theory with long range spin ordering. Analysis of temperaturedependent resistivity data interestingly reveals the phonon-phonon and magnon-manon scatteringdominance above and below the Curie temperature, respectively. The electrical and magnetic propertiesinvestigation endorse that there is a correlation between magnetic and electrical properties of the abovesample. The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) analysis is carried out by using the Maxwell’s equations inisothermal magnetization data. It is interesting to note that the sample exhibits maximum MCE near theroom temperature (~290K), i.e., the magnetic Curie temperature. Hence the present alloy may be apotential material to be used for magnetic refrigeration application.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
