We have studied magnetic and structural properties of the Heusler-type Ni-Mn-Ga glass-coated microwires prepared by Tailor-Ulitovsky technique. As-prepared sample presents magnetoresistance effect and considerable dependence of magnetization curves (particularly magnetization values) on magnetic field attributed to the magnetic and atomic disorder. Annealing strongly affects the temperature dependence of magnetization and Curie temperature of microwires. After annealing of the microwires at 973 K, the Curie temperature was enhanced to about 280 K which is beneficial for the magnetic solid state refrigeration. The observed hysteretic anomalies on the temperature dependences of resistance and magnetization in the as-prepared and annealed samples are produced by the martensitic transformation. The magnetoresistance and magnetocaloric effects have been investigated to illustrate a potential technological capability of studied microwires.
