Ni2MnSi0.2Sn0.8
metalNi2MnSi0.2Sn0.8 is a quaternary Heusler-class intermetallic compound combining nickel, manganese, and silicon-tin substitution on the X-site. This material belongs to the family of shape-memory alloys (SMAs) and magnetic shape-memory alloys (MSMAs), which exhibit reversible martensitic phase transformations often coupled with ferromagnetic behavior. The silicon-tin partial substitution (0.2/0.8 ratio) modifies the electronic structure and transformation temperatures compared to binary or ternary Heusler systems, making it relevant for research into tunable magnetostructural properties. While primarily an experimental/developmental composition, Ni-Mn-based Heuslers are investigated for applications requiring the combination of shape-memory recovery, magnetic response, and thermal stability.
