Single crystals of a pseudoquaternary Heusler alloy, Ni52Mn16Fe8Ga24, have now been synthesized. The substitution of Fe for Mn strengthens the magnetic exchange interactions, increasing the Curie temperature to 381 K. The Fe also increases the Ni magnetic moment to 0.41 μB relative to that in the stoichiometric Heusler composition. The strain accompanying the martensitic transformation is 2.4% in zero field and can be enhanced to 4.2% by a field of 1.2 T. A field-induced strain of 1.15% has been induced along [001] in unstressed crystals with magnetic fields of 1.2 T applied at 291 K. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
