We study the influence of elastic anisotropy on nanoscale precursor textures that exist in
some shape-memory alloys and show that tweed occurs in the limit of high elastic anisotropy …

Nanocrystalline NiTi alloys were processed by devitrification of an amorphous phase to

Atomistic simulations are performed to study the structure and geometrical limit of nanoscale
twins in NiTi shape memory alloys. We analyze compound twins as narrow as∼ 1 nm …

Stress hysteresis (⁠ H⁠) and temperature dependence of phase transition stress (d σ/d T)
are the two signatures of first-order phase transition in shape memory alloys. We studied the …

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate temperature-and stress-

Nanocrystalline NiTi shape memory alloys show fundamental changes in phase transition
behavior when the grain size is reduced down to nano-scale (grain size< 30 nm). However …

While shape memory alloys such as NiTi have strong potential as active materials in many
small‐scale applications, much is still unknown about their shape memory and deformation …
