Abstract
Structural and property changes of face-centered cubic Mn-Ni alloys were investigated in the composition and temperature range of antiferromagnetic ordering. It was found that the onset of domain formation requires a critical (tetragonal) magnetostrictive strain epsilon >or approximately=0.005 to be exceeded. At solute contents cN; at cdN. All experimental observations can be interpreted on this basis without invoking the occurrence of a separate structural phase transition cubic-tetragonal.
