Figure 4. Calculated martensite structures of Ni2MnGa. (a) Unperturbed tetragonal martensite unit cell, (b) and its 1×1×5 supercell. (c) 5M modulated martensite structure, 55Mn nuclei contributing to the dublet indicated by blue and yellow rectangles (magnetic moments are directed perpendicularly to the screen and are not shown). (d) Six modulated martensite structures with Mn↔Ga antisite pair indicated by the blue arrow. Red arrow emphasizes the antiparallel orientation of MnGa with respect to MnMn.
