We study the impact of the substrate on the martensite transformation

of Ni-Mn-In thin films by Hall resistance measurements and

discuss it using density functional theory calculations. Similarly to the

bulk systems, thin films grown on MgO exhibit the martensitic transformation

accompanied by large magnetoresistance and a sign reversal of the ordinary

as well as anomalous Hall coefficient. Martensite transition temperature of

films grown on (100) surface of MgO is near 170K, while the films grown on

(111) surface of MgO show the change of Hall coefficient at 110K. The

calculated total energy difference between FM austenite and FiM martensite

states in Ni$_{\mathrm{2}}$Mn$_{\mathrm{1.5}}$In$_{\mathrm{0.5}}$~film on

MgO (001) substrate (with Ni/MgO interface) is 0.20eV per NiMnIn f.u,

compared to 0.24eV in the bulk at the same equilibrium lattice parameters,

i.e. when film is ``unstrained''. When lattice parameters

of~Ni$_{\mathrm{2}}$Mn$_{\mathrm{1.5}}$In$_{\mathrm{0.5}}$/MgO~are of those

of MgO substrate, i.e. when the film experiences strong bi-axial tensile

strain $\Delta a/a=$2.4{\%}, the energy difference is 0.08eV per NiMnIn f.u.

These results clearly indicate strong interplay between lattice

strain/stress and the relative stability martensite and austenite phase
