The stoichiometric Ni$_{50}$Mn$_{25}$In$_{25}$ Heusler alloy transforms from a stable ferromagnetic austenitic ground state to an incommensurate modulated martensitic ground state with a progressive replacement of In with Mn without any…
Fe doped Ni$_2$Mn$_{1.5}$In$_{0.5}$, particularly, Ni$_2$Mn$_{1.4}$Fe$_{0.1}$In$_{0.5}$, despite having an incommensurate, modulated 7M martensitic structure at room temperature exhibits frequency dependent behavior of storage modulus and…
Fe doping in Ni$_2$Mn$_{1.5}$In$_{0.5}$ results in suppression of the martensitic phase via two contrasting routes. In Ni$_2$Mn$_{1.5-x}$Fe$_{x}$In$_{0.5}$, the martensitic phase is converted to a strain glassy phase, while in…
There is little consensus on the nature of the glass state and its relationship to other strain states in ferroelastic materials which show the shape memory effect and superelasticity. We provide a thermodynamic interpretation of the known…
Martensitic transition temperature steadily decreases in Ni$_{2-x}$Fe$_{x}$Mn$_{1.5}$In$_{0.5}$ and is completely suppressed at $x$ = 0.2. Despite suppression of martensitic transition, Ni$_{1.8}$Fe$_{0.2}$Mn$_{1.5}$In$_{0.5}$ does not…
Superelastic NiTi 1 shape memory alloy (SMA) wire was subjected to thermomechanical loading tests in tension to evaluate stress and temperature conditions under which the wire deforms plastically. Although the alloy demonstrated a very high…
We studied Ni50+xTi50-x with compositions up to x = 2, performing 47Ti and 49Ti nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements from 4 K to 400 K. For large x in this system, a strain-glass appears in which frozen ferroelastic nano-domains…
Martensitic transformations are strain driven displacive transitions governing the mechanical and physical properties in intermetallic materials. This is the case in Ni$_2$MnGa, where the martensite transition is at the heart of the…
Stress-induced martensitic transformations enable metastable alloys to exhibit enhanced strain hardening capacity, leading to improved formability and toughness. As is well-known from transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels,…
Equiatomic nickle-titanium (NiTi) is investigated to determine the consequences of point defects on the Martensitic phase transformation. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, NiTi with 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 3% of Schottky-type…
To understand how martensitic transformation (MT) in polycrystalline NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) proceeds under external stress, we evaluated recoverable transformation strains and plastic strains generated by the forward MT in…
Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility experiments have been used to characterize strain coupling phenomena associated with structural and magnetic properties of the shape-memory Heusler alloy series…
Functional behavior of NiTi shape memory alloys is restricted to temperatures below 150 {\deg}C. To shed light on the origin of the loss of functional properties of NiTi with increasing temperature, we have investigated stress induced…
Defying the conventional wisdom regarding first--order transitions, {\it solid--solid displacive transformations} are often accompanied by pronounced pretransitional phenomena. Generally, these phenomena are indicative of some mesoscopic…
Heusler alloys that undergo martensitic transformation in ferromagnetic state are of increasing scientific and technological interest. These alloys show large magnetic field induced strains upon martensitic phase change thus making it a…
This study examines the influence of niobium and oxygen on phase stability, crystal structure, and martensitic transformation pathways in Ti-Nb-O alloys. A series of Ti-(8-28)Nb-(0-3)O (at.%) alloys were prepared and solution-treated in the…
We perform molecular dynamics simulations under uniaxial tension to investigate the micromechanisms underlying strain hardening in glassy polymers. By decomposing the stress into virial components associated with pair, bond, and angle…
During the phase transitions, diverse states evolve with multiplex phenomena arising from the critical competition. In this study, a displacive martensitic transformation with a lattice shear distortion was unexpectedly observed at the…
Tensile stress-strain behavior of Ni57.5Mn22.5Ga20.0 single crystal exhibiting a high-temperature 2M-martensitic phase stable up to 360\degree C has been studied in the course of thermal and mechanical cycling. The ultra-large reversible…
The onset and kinetics of martensitic transformations are controlled by impurities trapped during the transformation. For the alpha to omega transformation in Ti, ab initio methods yield the changes in both the relative stability of and…
