Abstract

The critical behavior for the second-order ferromagnetic paramagnetic phase transition Ni50Mn29Ga20.8Tb0.2 alloy is studied. The values of the critical exponents were found to be \(\gamma =1.05\), \(\beta =0.45\) and are close to the ones described by the mean-field model. Using the Arrott–Noakes equation of state with these \(\gamma \) and \(\beta \) values, the Curie temperature was successfully calculated. The isothermal magnetization \(M\) and magnetic entropy change \(-\Delta {S}_{\mathrm{M}}\) curves were simulated using the Arrott–Noakes equation, the Landau theory and a mean field model.
