Nucleation barriers at corners for cubic-to-tetragonal phase transformation
Nucleation barriers at corners for cubic-to-tetragonal phase transformation
We are interested in the energetic cost of a martensitic inclusion of volume $V$ in austenite for the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transformation. In contrast with the work of [Kn\"upfer, Kohn, Otto: Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 66 (2013), no. 6, 867--904], we consider domain with a corner and obtain a better scaling …
