Abstrakt: A martensitic transformation (MT) from a body-centered-cubic austenitic phase to a tetragonal martensitic phase has been found in Mn50Ni50-xSnx (0 ≤ x ≤ 11) alloys. The martensitic transformation temperature can be decreased by about 71.6 K by increasing the Sn concentration by 1 at. %. For 9 ≤ x ≤ 11, Mn50Ni50-xSnx ferromagnetic shape memory alloys are obtained. Due to the large magnetization difference (ΔM = 60 emu/g) and small thermal hysteresis (ΔT = 6 K) in the Mn50Ni40Sn10 alloy, a two-way magnetic-field-induced martensitic transformation is observed with dT/dH = 2 K/T.
