On the Martensitic Transformation in V3Si
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
We demonstrate unambiguously that V5Si3 inclusions coherent with the V3Si matrix induce at low temperature a tetragonal distorsion of V3Si.
a) Polycrystalline samples are transforming only if they are two phased V3Si - V5Si3,
b) the oriented eutectic V3Si - V5Si3 undergoes a cubic - tetragonal distortion under 60K.
c) A transforming V3Si crystal is obtained by solid state epitaxy of a V5Si3 layer on the (001) plane.
These experiments support very well our idea that the distorsion can be driven by internal stresses in the samples, related to silicon over stoichiometry.
