A systematic investigation was conducted to evaluate the role of Zr addition on the
martensitic phase transformation behavior and properties of NiTi-based shape memory …

This paper investigates the effect of minority W additions on the thermal stability of
nanocrystalline NiTi thin films. The films were produced in an amorphous state, and the …

Epitaxial films have the potential to be used as model systems for fundamental
investigations on the martensitic transformation in binary NiTi. In this paper, we discuss …

Drug eluting stents (DES) have become essential to alleviate stenosis with minimally
invasive procedures. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) based shape memory alloys (SMAs) are the most …

NiTi thin films with robust shape memory effects and low deposition temperatures are greatly
desired for microelectronic devices. However, sub-micron films deposited below 425° C …
