Electrocaloric Ni2MnGa is of interest for solid state refrigeration applications, as well as a high temperature thermal shape memory alloy. Here, polycrystalline Ni54Mn25Ga21 is examined using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The initial martensite (M-f) and austenite (A(f)) finish temperatures were found to be 232 degrees C and 298 degrees C respectively. M-f was observed to decline by 8 degrees C/cycle and A(f) increased by 1 degrees C/cycle. Both below and surprisingly, above the Curie temperature, the application of an e.m.f. was found to affect the lattice parameters measured. A change in the thermal expansion of the two phases was found around the Curie temperature. (C) 2016 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
