With the purpose to optimize the functional properties of Heusler alloys for their use in solid-state refrigeration, the characteristics of the martensitic and magnetic transitions undergone by Ni50Mn25−xGa25Cux (x = 3–11) alloys have been studied. The results reveal that, for a Cu content of x = 5.5–7.5, a magnetostructural transition between paramagnetic austenite and ferromagnetic martensite takes place. In such a case, magnetic field and stress act in the same sense, lowering the critical combined fields to induce the transformation; moreover, magnetocaloric and elastocaloric effects are both direct, suggesting the use of combined fields to improve the overall refrigeration capacity of the alloy. Within this range of compositions, the measured transformation entropy is increased owing to the magnetic contribution to entropy, showing a maximum at composition x = 6, in which the magnetization jump at the transformation is the largest of the set. At the same time, the temperature hysteresis of the transformation displays a minimum at x = 6, attributed to the optimal lattice compatibility between austenite and martensite. We show that, among this system, the optimal caloric performance is found for the x = 6 composition, which displays high isothermal entropy changes (−36 J·kg−1·K−1 under 5 T and −8.5 J·kg−1·K−1 under 50 MPa), suitable working temperature (300 K), and low thermal hysteresis (3 K).

Perturbed gamma-gamma angular correlation (PAC) spectroscopy is a precise and highly efficient tool to follow the temperature dependence of local magnetic fields in any material. Its resolution and efficiency does not depend on temperature and therefore can measure local fields at low as well as high temperature with the same accuracy. Due its versatility in using different probe nuclei it can sense the local magnetic fields at different sites in the crystalline structure of materials. In this review, important results obtained with PAC spectroscopy are shown in two classes of materials: transition metal and transition-metal based compounds and rare earth elements and rare-earth-element based compounds using mainly three different probe nuclei:111Cd,181Ta and140Ce. PAC spectroscopy has contributed to the systematic study of the magnetic hyperfine field in impurities in matrices of Fe, Co and Ni as well as in transition-metal based Heusler alloys. It has also provided important contribution to the investigation of magnetism in rare-earth elements and intermetallic compounds. An still open issue concerning the local fields in metallic magnetic compounds and elements is the exchange interaction between the magnetic ions of the host and a dilute magnetic impurity, which acts as a defect in the magnetic lattice. PAC spectroscopy has been contributing to study this problem with success. Also shown in this review is the crucial role of ab-initio first principle calculations in the interpretation of PAC results.
