The changes of crystal structure, magnetic structure, electronic structure in the martensitic phase transition for magnetic shape memory alloy Mn2NiGe are calculated by first-principles method. The results show that in the martensitic phase transition for Mn2NiGe, there is produced a Jahn-Teller distortion, in which the c-axis becomes longer but a-axis and b-axis turn shorter, forming an elongated octahedral geometry. There is a significant change in magnetic moment for Mn ion in the centre of octahedron, but a little change happens to the Ni and Ge ions that are regarded as a ligand. The energy levels of eg and t2g are split by redistributing the density of states for d electrons and so opening a pseudogap near the fermi energy due to lattice distortion.
