Low temperature a/b nanotwins in Ni50Mn25+x Ga25−x Heusler alloys

Abstract We have found low temperature a/b nanotwins having (110) twinning plane in a five-layered modulated martensite phase of Ni50Mn25+x Ga25−x (at. %) Heusler alloys and identified the particular region in phase diagram where the nanotwinning occurs. Evolution of the structure with decreasing te...
