Mikroegiturako akatsek, ni-oinarridun heusler aleazioen transformazio martensitikoan eta propietate magnetikoetan duten eraginaren azterketaa

187 p.(eusk) 189 p. (eng.)The thesis deals with the effect that microstructural defects have on the magneticproperties and martensitic transformation in Ni-Mn-Z (Z = Ga, In, Sn)and Ni-Fe-Ga alloys. For this purpose, along with the standard characterizationtechniques, two additional specific nuclear techniques have been employed; 119SnMössbauer Spectroscopy and Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy, PALS.For the consecution of this thesis one PALS spectrometer has been designed, builtand optimized. For offline emission Mössbuauer experiments, a setup has been alsobuilt for measuring ion implanted samples. Finally, a high temperature annealingfurnace has been designed and built to carry out the annealing of powdered samplesunder controllable atmosphere
