Abstracts

EN

We report on structural and magnetic properties of Ni_{50}Mn_{50-x}Sn_x (x=12÷14) films and compare them with those of the bulk Ni-Mn-Sn alloys. Magnetic measurements reveal clear presence of martensitic transformation in bulk alloys but in the flash-evaporated Ni-Mn-Sn thin films martensitic transformation is usually less visible. The best film samples annealed for 1 h at about 900 K exhibit clear signs of martensitic transformation: i.e., a small defect in magnetization and a substantial increase in ferromagnetic resonance line width.
