Abstract

In this study, the high-temperature transformation in a thin foil of non-stoichiometric Heusler alloy based on Ni-Mn-In is investigated using in-situ TEM. The highly ordered cubic L21 phase undergoes decomposition upon heating, forming a phase with a composition close to Ni75Mn25, which is identified as disordered FCC-Ni3Mn and secondary phases, mainly manganese oxides and sulfides. All phases formed upon heating to a temperature of 1173 K are preserved during the in-situ cooling experiment to a temperature of 123 K.

Высокотемпературная обработка тонких фольг функционального сплава Гейслера Ni46Mn41In13 для микросистемных устройств и электроники

В работе исследуется высокотемпературное превращение в тонкой фольге нестехиометрического сплава Гейслера на основе Ni-Mn-In. Высокоупорядоченная кубическая L21 фаза подвергается при нагревании разложению с образованием фазы с составом, близким к Ni75Mn25, которая идентифицирована как неупорядоченная ГЦК-Ni3Mn и вторичных фаз, в основном, оксидов и сульфидов марганца. Все фазы, формирующиеся при нагревании до температуры 1173 К, сохраняются в ходе эксперимента по охлаждению in-situ до температуры 123 К.
