Mechanism for modulated structures in Ni-Mn-Ga: An EXAFS Study
P. A. Bhobe, K. R. Priolkar, P. R. Sarode
Abstract
The local atomic structure of Ni-Mn-Ga alloys was explored using Mn and Ga K-edge extended X-ray fine structure (EXAFS) measurement. The changes occuring in the L10 sub-cell of the martensitic unit cell and the bond lengths obtained from the analysis enables us to propose a scheme for the structural distortions responsible for the modulations and shuffling of the atomic planes in the martensitic phase of Ni-Mn-Ga system. The EXAFS analysis also suggests the changes in hybridization of Ga-p and Ni-d orbitals associated with the local symmetry breaking upon undergoing martensitic transition.
