Abstract
Abstract Single crystals of different compositions in shape memory alloys Ni-Mn-Ga have been studied by electron and low temperature X-ray diffraction as well as by differential scanning calorimetry. It is shown that the cooling-induced martensitic phases are long-periodic ones modulated along the (110) directions by a transverse wave of atomic shifts with 5 and 7 atomic layers periodicity for the alloys studied exhibiting a martensitic transformation at 180 K and 446 K, respectively. The transformation heats appeared to be about 10 times different for both alloys.
