Tóm tắt

Structural changes that accompany an intermartensitic transformation in the Ni-Mn-Ga alloy have been considered. The magnetic domain structure of martensite in this alloy has been also studied with the help of optical microscopy using indicator films of iron garnet. A labyrinthine domain structure has been detected.
