Description

Ni2MnGa, a promising candidate of magnetic shape memory, and its derivatives Ni2MnIn and Ni2MnSn are studied by soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. It is revealed that Ni2MnGa has the largest Ni 3d partial density of states just above the Fermi level among these three compounds. It is also shown to have the largest ratio of Ni 3d magnetic moment relative to that of Mn
