Ni50Mn37Sn13 ribbons were produced by the melt-spinning method. Structure and magnetic measurements on the Ni50Mn37Sn13 ribbons indicated that it is ferromagnetic below 340 K and undergoes an austenitic-to-martensitic phase transition just below room temperature. The austenitic phase has the cubic L21 structure, with the excess manganese atoms occupying the 4(b) sites. The martensitic phase has an orthorhombic structure. With increasing applied magnetic field, the martensite start temperature Ms and martensite finish temperature Mf shift to lower temperatures because of the field-induced phase transition. The exchange-bias effect is observed and strongly varied with different cooling fields at low temperature. At 5 K, the exchange-bias field reaches a maximum of 290 Oe when the cooling field increases to 200 Oe, and then reduces sluggishly with further increase of the cooling field because of weakening of exchange coupling between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interfaces.
