Compared with the normal relation between temperature ( T ) and elastic modulus ( E ) in most materials, martensitic transformation (MT) and magnetic transition could result in the softening of elastic modulus (d E/ d T > 0) within a narrow range of T ( 0. The present results may enrich approaches to designing new functional materials, e.g. the elastic and Elinvar alloys.
