Martensitic and magnetic properties of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys areknown to depend up on structural modulations and associated changes in theFermi surface. These modulations although periodic and spanning over multipleunit cells, involve movement of atoms typically of the order of 0.01A.Therefore X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) is an ideal tool to map both,local atomic movements and changes in density of states (DOS) due to changinghybridization as the system transforms from austenitic to martensitic phase.This paper presents a compilation of our XAFS studies on the Ni-Mn based shapememory alloys. A complete description of the changes in local structure aroundthe constituent metal ions in the following alloy compositions: Ni2+xMn1-xGa,Ni2Mn1.4Sn0.6 and Ni2Mn1.4In0.6 in the austenitic and martensitic phases havebeen obtained. The results give the new experimental evidence for the crucialhybridization component that influences and leads to structural transition inthese Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys.
