Magnetization and high resolution neutron powder diffraction measurements on the magnetic shape memory alloy Mn2NiGa have confirmed that it is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature above 500 K. The compound undergoes a broad structural phase transformation Delta T similar to 90 K with a mean transition temperature T-M similar to 270 K. The high temperature parent phase is cubic (a = 5.937 angstrom) and has a modified L2(1) structure. At 500 K the ordered magnetic moment essentially all on the 4a site is 1.35 mu B/Mn. The low temperature martensite has space group I4/mmm and is related to the cubic phase through a Bain transformation a(tet) = (a(cub) + b(cub))/2, b(tet) = (a(cub) - b(cub)) and c(tet) = c(cub) in which the change in cell volume is
