Strain Glass as a Novel Multi-functional Material

  • First Online:
Mesoscopic Phenomena in Multifunctional Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 198))

Abstract

Strain glass is a frozen disordered state of local lattice strains (nano-martensite domains), which is the third state of the martensitic/ferroelastic system in addition to parent phase and martensite. In this chapter, the key features of strain glass and its multi-functional properties are reviewed. It is shown that strain glass exhibits a number of interesting properties like shape memory effect, superelasticity with narrow hysteresis, tunable damping, together with unusual properties like Invar effect, Elinvar effect as discovered in β-Ti strain glass alloys. All these multi-functional properties stem from the response of the nano-domains of strain glass to temperature change and external stress. With the recent finding of ferromagnetic strain glass, novel magneto-elastic functionalities may be anticipated.
