Here, we present the results of an experimental and numerical study of controllable spin-wave propagation in the yttrium iron garnet stripe with an Fe-Rh slab. The transformation of spin-wave dispersion and transmission are observed by the focusing laser light on top of the Fe-Rh slab. It was shown that the geometry variation and design of the Fe-Rh slab significantly affect spin-wave propagation. The static internal magnetic field profile in the yttrium iron garnet is subject to position and the geometric parameters of the Fe-Rh slab. Additionally, the possibility of width mode filtering was shown for a surface magnetostatic spin wave by the means of micromagnetic simulation. The qualitative correspondence between the behavior of spin waves in the numerical simulation and microwave spectroscopy data was observed. The proposed structure can be used as a functional unit with the simultaneous frequency selective and spin-wave mode filtration regime in planar magnonic networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The magnetic and magnetocaloric measurements are reported for Ni49.9Mn37.03Sb12.3Fe0.77. The application of magnetic field was found to result in a shift of characteristic temperatures of the martensitic transformation (MT) by 0.7 K/T. Direct measurements of magnetocaloric effect (MCE) were employed to evaluate potential of this alloy for magnetic refrigeration. Peak values of MCE in magnetic field of 5 T were determined to be ~ −0.6 K in the interval of MT, and ~1 K in the vicinity of Curie temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The derivation is presented of the Clausius–Clapeyron relation (CCR) in the second order of expansion of free energy potential on the change of temperature and magnetic field on the example of Ni–Mn–In Heusler alloys with the first-order metamagnetostructural phase transition (FOMMSPT), which can be treated as thermoelastic structural transition: austenite—martensite merging with metamagnetic transition: ferromagnet–antiferromagnet. It is shown that the second-order CCR describes satisfactory the nonlinear shift in the characteristic temperatures of the FOMMSPT in magnetic fields up to 25 T. It qualitatively and quantitatively explains the observed nonlinear dependence of the characteristic temperatures and the hysteresis of FOMMSPT including its elimination in some compositions of the Ni–Mn–In Heusler alloys under sufficiently high magnetic field.

This paper is devoted to the study of magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in Ni-Mn-In-Co Heusler alloys by direct methods in high magnetic fields. Ni-Mn-In-Co Heusler alloys demonstrate the inverse MCE in the magnetostructural transition area. The adiabatic temperature change value ( \Delta T\mathrm {ad} ) is determined by direct extraction method in magnetic fields up to 10 T. It is shown that the value of \Delta T\mathrm {ad} increases with decrease in the difference between the temperature of magnetostructural transition and the Curie point temperatures of the compounds. The amount of isothermal heat emission (sorption) for Ni43Mn37.8In12.2Co7 alloy is determined as a result of magnetization in magnetic field up to 10 T in the magnetostructural transition area. The obtained results are discussed from the viewpoint of magnetic and lattice subsystems influences on the total entropy change ( \Delta St ). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
