Popis: Using ab initio calculations, the phase stability of modulated and tetragonal martensitic structures in Ni43.75Co6.25Mn43.75(In, Sn)6.25 Heusler alloys with different magnetic order is investigated. The stability against the segregation is considered by a method for generating all possible decay reactions assuming the calculated ground state energies of each composition. It is shown that the highest probable stability under equilibrium conditions is demonstrated by alloys with tetragonal martensitic structure in accordance with reactions: Ni35Co5Mn35In5 → 25Mn + 35Ni + 5Mn2InCo and Ni35Co5Mn35Sn5 → 5CoSn + 35Mn + 35Ni.
