Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of smart materials characterized by shape memory
effect and pseudo-elastic behavior. They have the capability to retain their original form …

This review provides details of the global scenario on the recent development and
application of NiTi smart metal shape memory alloys (SMA). It mainly focuses on the dc/rf …

A review on the mechanical characterization of materials at small length scale is presented.
The focus is on the different micro-and nanoscale testing techniques, the variety of materials …

Thin film nitinol has unique mechanical properties (eg, superelasticity), excellent
biocompatibility, and ultra-smooth surface, as well as shape memory behavior. All these …

In the present study, a double bilayer of a Ni/Ti thin film was investigated. A nanoscale NiTi
thin film is deposited in a Ni–Ti–Ni–Ti manner to form a double‐bilayer structure on a Si …

In this work, we report our studies on intermetallic NiTi thin films grown on silicon (1 0 0)
substrates by glancing angle DC-magnetron sputtering technique using separate sputter …

Thin nanocrystalline amorphous NiTi film was deposited on Si substrate using DC
magnetron sputtering. The as-deposited NiTi thin film was crystallized by heat treatment at …

This study is focused on the effect of isothermal annealing in an argon atmosphere (200 Pa)
in the temperature range of 200–600 C on the evolution of diffusion-induced structural …

Metal alloys which go through a hysteric transformation due to external stimuli such as
thermal and/or mechanical fields are called shape memory alloys (SMA). Thin films of SMAs …

Abstract In this work, Intermetallic NiTi thin films have been prepared using glancing angle
DC magnetron sputtering technique on Si (1 0 0) substrate maintained at room temperature …
