Nucleation and growth of hierarchical martensite in epitaxial shape memory films
Robert Niemann, Anja Backen, Sandra Kauffmann-Weiss +7
Shape memory alloys often show a complex hierarchical morphology in the martensitic state. To understand the formation of this twin-within-twins microstructure, we examine epitaxia…

Mesoscopic twin boundaries in epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga films
Anja Backen, Sandra Kauffmann-Weiss, Christian Behler +6
Twin boundaries play an essential role in the use of magnetic shape memory alloy Ni-Mn-Ga as active material. Only if twin boundaries can be moved by an external magnetic field, hi…
