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.

Geometry of adaptive martensite in Ni-Mn-based Heusler alloys

TL;DR: In this article, the Ni-Mn-based shape memory alloys were used to show the geometric rationale behind the concept of adaptive martensite, which regards all modulated phases as nanotwinned microstructures, and discussed the compatibility at the habit plane, the nature of high-order twin boundaries and the dependence of the lattice constants on different types of modulation.

The failure of rank-one connections

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of computing the relationship between the sets of values of the differentials of the Cauchy-Riemann equations of the polyconvex hulls and the Jacobian estimates of the Jacobians in the course of solving the Monge-Ampere inequalities.

Influences of granular constraints and surface effects on the heterogeneity of elastic, superelastic, and plastic responses of polycrystalline shape memory alloys

TL;DR: In situ X-ray diffraction, specifically the far-field high energy diffraction microscopy (ff-HEDM) technique, was used to non-destructively measure the grain-averaged statistics of position, crystal orientation, elastic strain tensor, and volume for hundreds of austenite grains in a superelastically loaded nickel-titanium (NiTi) SMA.
