Modulated Martensite: Why it forms and why it deforms easily
Stefan Kaufmann, Robert Niemann, Thomas Thersleff +6
Diffusionless phase transitions are at the core of the multifunctionality of (magnetic) shape memory alloys, ferroelectrics and multiferroics. Giant strain effects under external f…

Tuning of crystal structure and magnetic properties by exceptionally large epitaxial strains
J. Buschbeck, I. Opahle, M. Richter +7
Huge deformations of the crystal lattice can be achieved in materials with inherent structural instability by epitaxial straining. By coherent growth on seven different substrates…

Adaptive modulations of martensites
S. Kaufmann, U. K. Roessler, O. Heczko +4
Modulated phases occur in numerous functional materials like giant ferroelectrics and magnetic shape memory alloys. To understand the origin of these phases, we review and generali…
