Atomistic Simulations of Nickel-Titanium Shape-Memory Alloys

Shape-memory Alloys (SMAs) exhibit tremendous mechanical properties owing to their reversible phase transformation between the austenitic and the martensitic phase. Out of these, equi-atomic nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys are the most widely used SMAs for various applications since the transformation occurs close to room temperature. Advances in...
