Abstract
We present a study demonstrating the capability for controlled shape memory thin film growth using molecular beam epitaxy. Here, NiTiCu alloy films were grown which are known to exhibit the martensitic transformation well above room temperature. Remarkably, the microstructure of these films was found to be very different compared to conventionally sputtered polycrystalline films: here, the crystallites are highly oriented within 3° along the...
