摘要
We have found two distinctive structural modulations altering evidently along with the martensitic transition (MT) in the Ni2FeGa alloy. The first one (q(1)), corresponding to the well-known phonon anomalies in the [xixi0] TA(2) branch, occurs along the <110> direction. The second one (q(2)), an incommensurate modulation observed for the first time, occurs along the <211>-direction. 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.
