Epitaxial Ni-Mn-Sn thin films of 200 nm thickness were prepared by magnetron sputtering and deposited onto MgO(100) substrate. They reveal an inverse magnetocaloric effect with a martensitic phase transition around 260 K. The resulting magnetocaloric properties of these films have been determined performing magnetization measurements in the temperature range between 10 and 330 K applying different magnetic fields. The maximum values of entropy change and relative cooling power are 1.6 J kg−1 K−1 and 36.5 J kg−1 for cooling and 1.5 J kg−1 K−1 and 33.9 J kg−1 for heating in μ0ΔH=1 T, respectively. These data are comparable with bulk values of Ni-Mn-Sn Heusler alloys.
