Ni50−xCoxMn30Ga20 (x=6−9) alloys undergo martensitic transformation between ferromagnetic (FM) austenite and weak-magnetic martensite. However, the type of magnetism of martensite remains unclear. In this work, the results of a detailed study of the magnetic state of martensite in a Ni43Co7Mn30Ga20 are shown. The evolution with post-quench ageing indicates that improvement of atomic order increases the FM contributions to the weak-magnetic martensite, major changes occurring as the austenite switches from paramagnetic (PM) to FM. The results are consistent with the presence of FM clusters inside a PM matrix.
