In situ tem study of the h.c.p. to f.c.c. martensitic phase transformation in CoNi single crystals
TL;DR: In this article, a single crystal of Co + 32% Ni was grown and transformed by deformation from the f.c.p. to the h.cp.c at room temperature, and the experimental observations can be compared with the various models of the phase transformation found in the literature.

Measurement and numerical analysis of freezing in solutions enclosed in a small container
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC-Pyris 1) to determine the magnitude and dynamics of latent heat during freezing of 14 different pre-nucleated solute laden aqueous systems.

The development of long-range order and the resulting strengthening effects IN Ni4Mo
Fu-wen Ling,E.A. Starke +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a single crystal of Ni 4 Mo was studied by X-ray line broadening techniques using Warren's Fourier analysis employing computer methods, and the long-range-order parameter, domain size and microstrains were measured after isothermal ageing at 700°C for various times.

Mechanisms of martensitic transformations in boron nitride and conditions of their development
V. F. Britun,A. V. Kurdyumov +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the pressure threshold of martensitic transformations on the disordering degree of starting structures is considered for graphite-like BN into diamond-like modifications transitions.
