P. Entel et al., NUMERICAL-SIMULATION OF MARTENSITIC TRANSFORMATIONS IN MAGNETIC TRANSITION-METAL ALLOYS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 177, 1998, pp. 1409-1410
We have performed molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations of martensitic n
ucleation processes in iron-based transition-metal alloys. In order to
handle a sufficiently large number of atoms in the simulation process
, use has been made of the embedded-atom method (EAM). Results for str
uctural transition temperatures, superelastic behavior as well as tend
ential-shape memory effects compare qualitatively well with experiment
al results. Results are also compared with a zero-temperature stabilit
y analysis on the basis of full-potential band-structure calculations.
