Multiscale twin hierarchy in NiMnGa shape memory alloys with Fe and Cu

Abstract: X-ray microdiffraction and scanning electron microscopy studies reveal 10 M martensitic structure with a highly correlated multiscale twin hierarchy organization in NiMnGaFeCu shape memory alloys. High compatibility is found at the twin interfaces resulting in a highly correlated twinned lattice orientation across several laminate levels. The lattice unit cell is described as monoclinic I-centered with a = 4.28 Å , b = 4.27 Å , c = 5.40 Å , c = 78.5°. The modulation is found parallel to the b axis. Thin tapere… Show more

“…Furthermore, by going through systematic indexation, orientations of crystals can be determined, which in turn can be used to find orientation relations between coexisting parent and product phases. Relative orientations of single crystals can be determined from one Laue diffraction pattern with an angular precision down to~0.02 • , which makes Laue diffraction a powerful tool for characterizing twining [21]. By application of the polychromatic beam diffraction, one can overcome a major challenge to recognize domain structures formed after phase transitions: the newly formed domains typically have pseudo symmetrical translational lattices with very low mismatch with respect to the lattice of parental phase [22].…”

“…there is an abrupt, almost by 50%, increase of the phonons' free path length, thus causing the observed sudden change κ ph (T ) near the MSPT. Local distortions of the crystal lattice and nanosized twin boundaries, concentration of which rises upon a transition to the martensitic phase [16,27], can be considered as a mechanism leading to a sudden change of l ph .…”

“…Fine laminates of these types of twins were found in the vicinity of the highly mobile interfaces also by Straka et al [11], Heczko et al [33] and Chulist et al [41]; as a result, the mobile interface is then a macro-twin interfaces between these laminates. The micro-morphology of such interfaces was shown to have a multi-scale hierarchical character by Barabash et al [42] for the case of 10 M martensite of NiMnGaFeCu. Typically, this complex structure is not discussed in the theoretical models of motion, including those of the mobility of the twins by Faran and Shilo [25][26][27][28][29] as well as continuum mechanics or phase field models of MIR [43,44].…”
