Popis: The effects of cooling rate and annealed temperature on the state of atomic order and microstructure of L21 domains of Ni45Co5Mn36.6In13.4 ribbons are investigated comprehensively. The state of atomic order is quantitatively studied by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the microstructure of ordered domains is revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As-spun ribbons show B2 structure of low atomic order, exhibiting the dispersive L21 domains’ morphology. By applying heat treatment around the order–disorder transition temperature followed by furnace cooling or quenching into water, respectively, we found the strong dependence of ordered domains on cooling rates. Furnace cooling samples show L21 domains with small sized antiphase boundary, revealing a high degree of atomic order, while quenching hinders the formation of ordered domains. Annealing above the order–disorder transition temperature followed by quenching preserves the disordered atomic state with the mixture of L21 structure in B2 matrix.
