Abstract
Strains of nearly 0.2% have been induced along [001] in unstressed cry stals of Ni2MnGa with magnetic fields of 8 kOe applied at 265 g. These stains are associated with the superelastic motion of twin boundaries in the martensitic phase that is stable below about 274 K. (C) 1996 A merican Institute of Physics.
