Abstract

Neutron polarized diffraction technique has been used to elucidate the magnetic moment distribution density in non stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals. These experiments allow us to determine a localized magnetic moment in the Mn position in the austenitic phase, and to validity qualitatively previous models of magnetic distributions where there are antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic coupling for Mn atoms that are sited out of their properly positions. This measurements show the deep dependence of the magnetic moment with the composition and the atomic order.
