We report here “strain glass,” a new glassy phenomenon in ferroelastic-martensitic system of
Ni-rich intermetallic Ti 50-x Ni 50+ x (x> 1), where local strain is frozen in disordered …

In ferromagnetic alloys with shape memory large reversible strains can be obtained by
rearranging the martensitic domain structure by a magnetic field. Magnetization through …

The authors report the observation of large magnetoresistance in Ni 50 Mn 34 In 16 alloy.
This alloy undergoes an austenite-martensite phase transformation which can be strongly …

A three-dimensional phase field model of the martensitic transformation that produces a low
symmetry phase in polycrystals is developed. The transformation-induced strain mostly …

This contribution begins with a discussion of the homogeneous Landau theory for bulk
ferroelectrics with spatially uniform polarizations, reviewing firstand second-order transitions …
