Abstract
General aspects of functionality are discussed: The ability to change according to variations in the external conditions. The Martensitic materials were among the first metals discovered to show functionality, as a rapid change in shape at a given temperature. This has for thousands of years been of vital technological importance. Understanding this phenomenon forms the basis for understanding related phenomena in the numerous recently discovered materials, discussed in the previous chapters. In these, the changes can be induced and tuned by, for example, magnetic or electric fields. It would extend too far to attempt to survey all this here – and fortunately, since the martensites are sufficiently rich, that the principles – and the possibilities can be gauged from a knowledge of martensites.
