Description

To investigate trigger of the α-ε transition of iron, local structure around iron atom has been precisely determined by using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). Our model to fit the EXAFS profile takes into account the crystal symmetry, which enables us to separately evaluate atomic displacements via shear or shuffle movements. This study demonstrates that shear stress is important to initiate the α-ε transition. (author)
