Contributions from the magnetic and structural part for a first-order magnetic transition to the MCE.Schematic shows Ni–Mn-based Heusler alloys as an example. Alignment of magnetic moments by adiabatic magnetization results in the sample heating up (top row); simultaneously the structural transition from low-magnetization and twinn…
