The arrangement of twin boundaries in trained 10M Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals was investigated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in the scanning electron microscope. Precise monoclinic structure data including direction of modulation were used to determine all possible boundaries. Besides type I, II and compound twins typical for monoclinic symmetry a boundary between two directions of modulation was also detected. Compared to EBSD analysis done with simple tetragonal structure for 10M Ni-Mn-Ga alloys, a more complex microstructure with new boundaries is revealed. The crystallographic results have also been confirmed by diffraction of high-energy synchrotron radiation.
