Prediction of first-order martensitic transitions in strained epitaxial films

Coherent epitaxial growth allows us to produce strained crystalline films with structures that are unstable in the bulk. Thereby, the overlayer lattice parameters in the interface plane, ( a , b ), determine the minimum-energy out-of-plane lattice parameter, ${{c}_{{\rm min} }}(a,b)$ . We show by me...
