Abstract

The interdomain boundary energy for purely elastic cubic to tetragonal transformations is calculated based on a Landau-Ginzburg approach. The strain-gradient coefficients are shown to be related to the curvatures of proper phonon dispersion curves. For the Fe70Pd30 alloy, a complete set of model parameters is derived from the available experimental data. Over the temperature range of the two-phase coexistence, the domain-boundary energy is found to vary from 0.11 mJ/m2 to 0.32 mJ/m2. The low domain-boundary energy meets the criterion proposed by Khachaturyan et at. for domain miniaturization to the "adaptive phase" limit.
