Interesting microscopic observations of martensite obtained recently (10M martensite in Ni-Mn-Ga): Branching of martensite bands near austenite-martensite interface (austenite is violet region on the right), upon heating.
Project researchers Petr Veřtát and Michal Rameš participated at the 11th Student Scientific Conference on Solid State Physics and Materials, 12-15th of September 2022. The goal of the conference is…
The martensite still surprises us with its unexpected beauty. The above figure shows a specific microstructure with a mixture of NM and 14M martensite bands at -196°C (DIC/Nomarski contrast in…
One of the most promising application directions for magnetic shape memory alloys are microfluidic pumps and related devices. The topic studied in this project, i.e. control of twinned structure, or…
An international mini-seminar on the peculiar martensite microstructure of magnetic shape memory alloys was organized within the project activities. Our closer collaboration group met at FZU, Prague on 16-17.6. 2022.…
A video lecture on martensite modulation by Petr Veřtát, as presented at Icomat 2022 Conference, is now available from here: Link to video or you can watch on youtube “We…
It turns out that the study of martensitic transformation can bring also aesthetically significant deeds. The best photo in the FZU staff photo competition in 2021 became a micrograph by…
Our author team prepared a comprehensive review discussing the advances and limits of first principles calculations from the point of view of experimentalists. The review is due to be published…
