Abstract
Reflection and refraction of quasi-longitudinal and quasi-transverse acoustic waves at a flat interface between a liquid and a ferromagnetic crystal of the Heusler alloy Ni2 + x + y Mn1 − x Ga1 − y (in the region of its premartensitic and martensitic phase transitions) is considered. The directions of propagation and polarization and the amplitude of reflected quasi-longitudinal and quasi-transverse and of transmitted longitudinal waves in the (110) plane of the crystal are determined. In a wide region of phase transformations of this alloy, the possibility is shown of using temperature to efficiently control the angles of reflection and refraction of wave modes and the coefficients of their conversion due to a colossal acoustic anisotropy of the crystal. Beginning from a certain critical angle of the quasi-transverse wave, the quasi-longitudinal wave arising upon reflection acquires the nature of the accompanying surface vibration and at a large proximity to phase transition can be emitted into the bulk of the crystal. On the basis of the available experimental data for Ni2MnGa crystals, numerical estimations of the above acoustic effects have been carried out.
