A. Possible Available Driving Forces for the Magnetically Induced Martensitic Transformation
RECENT reports have shown that Ni-Mn-Z (Z = In, Sn, Sb) systems as a new class of metamagnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs)[1,2] are based on a magnetically induced martensitic transformation

METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS A
(MIMT) from ferromagnetic (FM) austenite to antiferromagnetic (AFM) martensite.[3,4] The unique MIMT results in an unprecedented variety of physical properties, such as large magnetic field induced strain (MFIS),[1,5] inverse magnetocaloric effect (MCE),[3,6] baro-caloric effect,[7] giant magneto-resistance effect,[8] and high magneto-thermal conductivity.[9] Moreover, this peculiar transformation is observed not only in single crystals, but also in polycrystalline specimens. Thus, their diverse properties are of great potential for many applications in high-performance actuators,[10] environment-friendly magnetic refrigerators,[3,6,7] and energy harvesting,[11] etc. These excellent properties have attracted much attention over the last decade. As for these MSMAs, the application of the magnetic field leads to an evident negative shift in the transformation equilibrium temperatures due to a large magnetization difference between the martensite and the austenite, as shown in Figure 1(a). In other words, if the sample is at a constant temperature (T0) close to Mf, when increasing the magnetic field, the MIMT from AFM martensite to FM austenite will occur due to the changes in chemical free energy. Therefore, one

considers that the driving forces of the MSMAs are the Zeeman energy from the difference in the saturation magnetizations of transforming phases (Figure 1(b)). In contrast, the MIMT in the ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs)[12] is hardly triggered by the Zeeman energy because of a small magnetization jump
