Tuning functional properties of thin caloric films by mechanical stress is currently of high interest. In particular, a controllable magnetisation or transition temperature is desired for improved usability in magnetocaloric devices. Here, we present results of epitaxial magnetocaloric Ni-Mn-Ga-Co thin films on ferroelectric Pb(Mg<sub>1/3</sub>Nb<sub>2/3</sub>)<sub>0.72</sub>Ti<sub>0.28</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (PMN-PT) substrates. Utilizing X-ray diffraction measurements, we demonstrate that the stra ...[more]
