Abstract: The martensitic transition and magnetocaloric effect in Ni45Co5Mn37In13 Heusler alloy has been investigated by magnetic measurements. It is observed that the sample undergoes martensitic transition from pure ferromagnetic state to antiferromagnetic state, resulting in a large difference in magnetization between parent and martensitic phases. On this basis, the magnetocaloric effect during reverse martensitic transition is evaluated through Maxwell relation. It is found that the sample show the maximum magnetic entropy with the value of about 30 J/kg K in the temperature span of 15 K, exhibiting a potential ability as magnetic refrigerator materials.
