Structural phase transitions are governed by the underlying atomic transformation mechanism; martensitic transformations can be separated into strain and shuffle components. A systematic pathway generation and sorting algorithm is presented and applied to the problem of the titanium alpha to omega transformation under pressure. In this algorithm, all pathways are constructed within a few geometric limits, and efficiently sorted by their energy barriers. The geometry and symmetry details of the seven lowest energy barrier pathways are given. The lack of a single simple geometric criterion for determining the lowest energy pathway shows the necessity of atomistic studies for pathway determination.
The onset and kinetics of martensitic transformations are controlled by impurities trapped during the transformation. For the alpha to omega transformation in Ti, ab initio methods yield the changes in both the relative stability of and energy barrie
We describe a novel approach for the rational design and synthesis of self-assembled periodic nanostructures using martensitic phase transformations. We demonstrate this approach in a thin film of perovskite SrSnO3 with reconfigurable periodic nanost
We provide a complete quantitative explanation for the anisotropic thermal expansion of hcp Ti at low temperature. The observed negative thermal expansion along the c-axis is reproduced theoretically by means of a parameter free theory which involves
For a previously published study of the titanium hcp (alpha) to omega (omega) transformation, a tight-binding model was developed for titanium that accurately reproduces the structural energies and electron eigenvalues from all-electron density-funct
The alpha/beta interface in Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo (Ti-6246) is investigated via centre of symmetry analysis, both as-grown and after 10% cold work. Semi-coherent interface steps are observed at a spacing of 4.5 +/-1.13 atoms in the as-grown condition, i
