The innate interfacial elastic strain field of a transformable B2 precipitate embedded in an amorphous matrix by Fu, Xiaoling, Lin, Yujun, Zhu, Mixun, Wang, Kai, Wu, Jiaqing, Tong, Xing, Song, Wenli, Tan, Ming Jen, Yang, Yuanzheng, Shen, Jun, Wang, Gang, Shek, Chan Hung, Ritchie, Robert O.

“…When a transformable B2 precipitate is embedded in an amorphous matrix, it is often experimentally observed that the crystalline-amorphous interface not only serves as an initiation site for the martensitic transformation due to local stress concentrations, but also as an inhibitor to stabilize the transformation, the latter being attributed to the “confinement effect” exerted by the amorphous matrix, according to the Eshelby solution. …”
