✦ Synopsis
The influence of structural transformation on the optical properties of Heusler alloy Ni-Mn-Ga has been investigated by using Density Functional Theory code CASTEP. The calculated optical refractive and absorption spectra, the off-diagonal components of the dielectric function and the optical conductivity for L2 1 structure and the tetragonal phase show a noticeable structural dependence which were confirmed by the experiments (Y.V. Kudryavtsev et al., Phys. Rev. B 66 (2002) 115114).

Single-crystalline 5M (exhibiting magnetic shape memory effect) and non-modulated martensitic Ni-Mn-Ga alloys were studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) at different temperatures. The chemical compositions of the alloys were determined using energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry in a scanning
The present work contains a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy study (including image simulations) of the layered martensitic structures formed in Ni-Mn-Ga alloys. The main purpose is to distinguish two structural models proposed in the literature. For the seven-layered martensite, the
