Abstract
A thickness dependence of the martensitic transformation temperature is experimentally found in submicrometer Ni-Mn-Ga films deposited and annealed on alumina substrate. A theoretical description of the stress state of these films originating from the particular martensitic microstructure and elastic interaction between film and substrate is developed. Experimental results are in a satisfactory agreement with the theoretical estimations.
