Numerous metallic alloys are now known to exhibit a shape memory effect through which an article deformed at a lower temperature will regain its original undeformed shape when heated to a higher temperature. This behavior is basically a consequence of a martensitic phase transformation.

Applications of shape memory alloys in optics
Applied Optics, 1998The application of shape memory alloy (SMA) thin films in optical devices is introduced and explored for the first time. Physical and optical properties of titanium-nickel (TiNi) SMA thin films change as these films undergo phase transformation on heating.

Abstract The term shape memory alloys (SMAs) refers to the group of metallic materials that demonstrate the ability to return to some previously defined shape or size when subjected to the appropriate thermal procedure. Materials that exhibit shape memory only upon heating are referred to as having a one-way shape memory.

Shape memory is the ability of a material to remember its original shape, either after mechanical deformation (one-way effect) or by cooling and heating (two-way effect). This phenonemon is based on a structural phase transformation, which is diffusionless and connected with large amounts of homogeneous shear. It is known as martensitic transformation.

Shape Memory Alloys and their Medical Application
2004Shape memory alloys (SMA) are a kind of metallic materials with the characteristics of returning to the previously defined shapes when subjected to some appropriate thermal procedure. Just because of its particular functional properties, especially the shape memory effect (SME) and superelasticity (SE), shape memory alloys have attracted wide attention.
