Abstract

Ni-Mn-Ga films in the austenite and the martensite structures at room temperature have been obtained using the DC magnetron sputtering technique. Two elaboration processes were studied. A first batch of samples was deposited using a resist sacrificial layer in order to release the film from the substrate before vacuum annealing. This process leads to polycrystalline films with a strong (022) fiber texture. The martensitic phase transformation of such polycrystalline freestanding films has been studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy. A second batch of samples was grown epitaxially on (100)MgO substrates using different deposition temperatures. The texture has been analyzed with four-circle X-ray diffraction. Epitaxial films crystallized both in the austenite and the martensite structures at room temperature have been studied.
