Magnetic materials based on Ni-Mn-Sn are Heusler alloys, in which a structural transition carries out from the low temperature martensitic to the high temperature austenitic phase. In this study we have synthesized the free-standing Ni-Mn-Sn thin films between 20 nm and 200 nm and transferred onto different substrates (Si or GaAs wafers, cupper grids or glass) to investigate the influence of the film thickness on the martensitic transition. The films were epitaxially grown on MgO (001) substrates with a sacrificial V layer by DC magnetron co-sputtering at a substrate temperature of 500°C. This allows to study the substrate influence on the martensitic transition. The applied methods to study the martensitic transition include temperature dependent resistivity and magnetization measurements, X-Ray Diffraction, and Transmission Electron Microscopy.
