In this review, examples are given of a number of unusual phenomena, which we relate with the effect largely overlooked in shape memory alloys: diffusion of point-like defects, assisted by moving linear and planar defects — dislocations, twin and interphase boundaries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
