Ni-Mn-Ga cantilever and tensile microactuators are investigated with respect to their thermoelastic and magnetomechanical characteristics. The base materials are either single-layer Ni-Mn-Ga thin films or Ni-Mn-Ga/Mo thin film composites with different compositions and thicknesses up to 10 m, which
