Shear band mediated ω phase transformation in Nb single crystals deformed at 77 K

Phase transformation is rare in pure body-centered cubic (BCC) metals due to the associated high energy barrier. Here, omega (ω) phase transformation in single-crystal niobium (Nb) under compression at 77 K was studied by atomistic characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Th...
