  Martensitic plates on the surface of a Cu-Al-Ni sample
Diffraction pattern of 18R martensite







Growing plates of martensite



 

High resolution image showing the period 7 staking sequence of the atoms of a Ni-Mn-Ga alloy. The white lines help to follow four stacking sequences.

 

 



 

Transmission electron microscope image, about 1.7 micrometers in width, of a Cu-Al-Ni-Ti sample. A big precipitate rich in titanium (bigger and on the upper right corner) touches a gamma precipitate (darker and near the center). Both are embbeded within the bulk material in the martensitic phase (the plates are very small).
