Fine phase mixtures as minimizers of energy

TLDR
In this article, the authors explore a theoretical approach to these fine phase mixtures based on the minimization of free energy and show that the α-phase breaks up into triangular domains called Dauphine twins which become finer and finer in the direction of increasing temperature.
Abstract
Solid-solid phase transformations often lead to certain characteristic microstructural features involving fine mixtures of the phases. In martensitic transformations one such feature is a plane interface which separates one homogeneous phase, austenite, from a very fine mixture of twins of the other phase, martensite. In quartz crystals held in a temperature gradient near the α-β transformation temperature, the α-phase breaks up into triangular domains called Dauphine twins which become finer and finer in the direction of increasing temperature. In this paper we explore a theoretical approach to these fine phase mixtures based on the minimization of free energy.

Piecewise affine stress-free martensitic inclusions in planar nonlinear elasticity

TL;DR: This work considers a partial differential inclusion problem which models stress-free martensitic inclusions in an austenitic matrix, based on the standard geometrically nonlinear elasticity theory, and shows that for specific parameter choices there exist piecewise affine continuous solutions for the square-to-oblique and the hexagonal-to -oblique phase transitions.
