简介:HighlytexturedHeusleralloyMn46Ni42Sn11Sb1ribbonswerepreparedbymeltspinning.TheannealedhighMncontentMn46Ni42Sn11Sb1ribboncross-sectionmicrostructure,crystalstructure,martensitictransformation(MT),andmagnetoresistance(MR)propertieswereinvestigated.TheMRintheannealedribbonwasassessedbythemagneticfielddirectionperpendiculartotheribbonsurfacewiththemagneticfieldupto30kOe.Thelargenegativevalueof25%forMRwasobtainedat244K.Theexchangebias(EB)effectsoftheas-spunandannealedribbonswereinvestigated.Afterannealing,theEBeffectshavebeenimprovedbyabout25Oeatthetemperatureof50K.Themagnetizationshaveincreasedapproximatelyby10%morethantheas-spunribbon.
