| Abstract Scope |
Significant number of studies have shown that the coherent integration of the second non-transforming phase in base martensitic material results in unprecedented thermo-mechanical properties. Here, we show the possibility of martensitic transformation by combining two non-transforming material (Mg-Li/Mg) for the first time to the best of our knowledge. We found that the transformation is similar to Mg-Sc alloys, resulting in finite temperature shape memory behavior. Our DFT simulations predict the martensite phase to be 9.3 meV/atom lower in energy than austenite for a 50-50 at.% MgLi/Mg nanolaminate. This energy difference can further be tuned between 4.8 meV/atom and 16.4 meV/atom by varying the fraction of pure Mg in these nanolaminates. |
