Abstract—This work is devoted to the investigation of the structure, electrical and magnetic properties of the Ni50Mn37Sn13 alloy in which the temperature of martensitic transformation is close to room temperature and virtually coincides with the Curie temperature of the austenite. The martensitic transformation in the Ni50Mn37Sn13 alloy is accompanied by the formation of modulated martensite. It is found that the spontaneous transformation from martensite to austenite is accompanied by a decrease in the electrical resistivity by approximately 41%. Upon the martensitic transformation induced by magnetic field of a strength of 18 kOe, negative magnetoresistance of up to –28% is observed.
