โฆ Synopsis
We have found two distinctive structural modulations altering evidently along with the martensitic transition (MT) in the Ni 2 FeGa alloy. The first one รฐq 1 ร; corresponding to the well-known phonon anomalies in the ยฝzz0 TA 2 branch, occurs along the k110l direction. The second one รฐq 2 ร; an incommensurate modulation observed for the first time, occurs along the k211ldirection. Both modulations change gradually with the premartensitic phonon softening and discontinuously with the MT. Anomalies in magnetic properties emerging around the MT have been briefly discussed.
