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.

On lower-semicontinuity of variational integrals

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between Morrey's quasiconvexity condition and lower semicontinuity of variational integrals is investigated, and it is shown how quasico-vexities naturally comes up in problems concerning stabilisation of sets of solutions of certain nonlinear systems under weak convergence.
