“…TiPd undergoes a martensitic transformation at about 800 K, but the transition temperature can be reduced to 410 K with 8% substitution of Cr for Pd [5,6]. The hightemperature phase of TiPd has a simple cubic CsCl-type (cP2, B2) structure [14,15], while at ambient temperature the martensite phase has been reported as the orthorhombic AuCd-type (oP4, B19) structure [13,14]. For Ti 2 Pd, the MoSi 2 -type (tI6, C11b) structure has been reported by various experiments [10,12,16,20].…”
