Abstract
The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Ni43Mn46Sn 11 In the vicinity of a firstorder martensitic phase transition is discussed by using magnetic measurements, heat capacity measurements and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The results confirm that the MCE of Ni43Mn46Sn11 obtained by magnetic measurements (via the Maxwell relation) may be seriously overestimated and Ni-Mn-Sn alloys should be treated carefully.
