A body-centered tetragonal (bct) twin martensite has been found in Co39Ni33Al28 ferromagnetic shape memory alloy by transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation. The twin lamellae have Σ=25 (01\\bar1) twin boundaries and slip system [011]||(01\\bar1). Periodic appearance of the twin lamellae resulted in a modulated structure with a repeat periodicity of 56d01\\bar1 perpendicular to the twin interface. The twinning mechanism during martensite transformation is discussed briefly.
