Crystalline-amorphous architectures modulate martensitic transformation and mechanical response in NiTi
NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit outstanding pseudoelasticity, yet the strongly first-order nature of their martensitic transformations (MTs) produces autocatalytic strain avalanches and large hysteresis that limit controllability and energy efficiency. Recent experiments have shown that severe plastic deforma...
