Phase transformations in “less common” materials

Abstract

Recent years have encompassed the investigation of phase transformations in a wider variety of materials. Such investigations have raised a number of interesting questions. In many cases “less common” materials have been studied in an attempt to more fully characterize them, certain specific advantages and applications having already been recognized (e.g., uranium and its alloys). Generally, the transformations in these more complex materials have been analyzed and compared to “reference” results obtained from the study of simpler systems. Nevertheless, recent investigations of transformations in both common and uncommon systems lead to a number of interesting topics for discussion, such as pretransformation phenomena, nucleation and the role of phonons, a comparison of the martensitic and omega types of transformations, reversible transformations and “shape memory” mechanical behavior, atom shuffles, new types of ordering reactions, and certain effects exhibited by polymers, oxides, lanthanides, and actinides.
