This chapter describes a theory of martensitic microstructure. The theory explains why martensites form microstructure and describes how this microstructure depends, often delicately, on the crystalline symmetry and the lattice parameters. The shape-memory e ect is analyzed with this theory and it is shown that only very special materials { those that satisfy signi cant restrictons on their sym...

This article focuses on culture and rule of law in Indonesia, which provides an excellent case study in colonialism and post-colonialism. The colonial heritage of the Indonesian islands goes back to the early 1500s and lasted for approximately four centuries (Schultz 2002:144145) until independence was declared in August 1945 (GoGwilt 1996: 158).

We have observed the magnetic-phase transitions of CeSb and CeBi by a magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy in the infrared region. The phase boundary is similar to that detected by neutron scattering. The optical spectra re#ect the electronic structures in the ordered states. The electronic structure and also the origin of the magnetic transition are discussed. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. ...
