An ab initio perspective on reversible martensitic transformations in Ti-Ta shape memory alloys — •Alberto Ferrari1, Davide G.

Shape memory alloys exhibit reversible martensitic transformations (MTs) when temperature or stresses are applied. Modelling these transformations from first principles is not trivial, since static calculations are usually not sufficient to explore the most important aspects of the MTs, such as the Ehrenfest order of the phase transitions, the range of stability of the low- and high-temperature phases, and their free energy barrier. In this contribution, a fully ab initio strategy to characterize MTs in alloys is presented. The temperature dependent order parameters of a MT are calculated with ab initio molecular dynamics; then, the free energy of the MT, from which all the relevant thermodynamic properties of the MT can be derived, is modelled with a Landau polynomial expansion. The parameters of this expansion are completely extracted from first principles. This approach is applied to the high-temperature shape memory alloy Ti-Ta, for which very small values for the free energy barrier and the region of metastability are observed.
