“…This transition forms the basis of the development of several technologically important ferrous and nonferrous alloys with applications ranging from ground, marine, and aerospace structures to biomedical implants, energy conversion devices, actuators, and smart structures to name just a few [1][2][3]. Martensite transitions are ubiquitous and have been observed in different classes of materials, including elemental metals (Co and group-IV metals like Ti and Zr) [5,6], ferrous and nonferrous alloys [1][2][3]7], superconducting A-15 alloys [8], ceramics [2,3], oxides (ZrO 2 ) [9], sulfides (ZnS) [10], organometallic compounds [11], amino acids [12,13], and block copolymer micelles [14]. Martensite transition was first discovered in steels where it is irreversible and athermal [1].…”
