Titanium-based shape memory alloys have attracted a lot of attention due to their important technological applications including actuator devices, electronics, and medical stents. This is due to their shape memory effects ...

Calculations were carried out on transition-metal sulphides (TMS) and transitionmetal arsenides (TMA), in both pyrite- and marcasite-type structures, using planewave (PW) pseudopotential methods within density functional ...
