Nano Scaled Checkerboards: A Long Range Ordering in NiCoMnAl Magnetic Shape Memory Alloy Thin Films with Martensitic Intercalations

Magnetic shape memory Heusler alloys, such as NiCoMnAl, are considered as promising candidates for magnetocaloric cooling applications. Grown in thin film systems of adjacent layers with austenite and martensite crystal structures of almost equal thicknesses, a long-range ordering phenomenon in the...
