    Modulated structure of Ni–Mn–Ga-based alloys is decisive in their magnetic shape memory(MSM) functionality. However, the precise nature of their five-layered modulated 10Mmartensite is still an open question. We used x-ray and neutron diffraction experiments onsingle crystals to investigate structural changes within 10M-modulated martensite of theNi50Mn27Ga22Fe1MSM alloy. The modulation vector gradually increases upon cooling fromcommensurateq=(2/5)g110,whereg110is the reciprocal lattice vector, to incommensuratewithqup to pseudo-commensurateq=(3/7)g110. Upon heating, reverse changes areobserved with a thermal hysteresis of≈60 K. The same hysteretic behaviour was detected inthe electrical resistivity and the effective elastic modulus. Scanning electron microscopyshowed that the changes are accompanied by the refinement of thea/blaminate. Theseobservations indicate that the commensurate state is a metastable form of 10M martensite.
