Determination of martensite structures of the Au7Cu5Al4 and Au7Cu5.7Al3.3 shape-memory alloys

The β-phase of Au7Cu5Al4 undergoes a reversible shape-memory phase transformation for which several conflicting martensite phases have been reported. Here we show the significance of the cooling temperature used to obtain the martensite. If Au7Cu5Al4 is cooled from the parent phase condition to cryo...
