Abstract
The Landau potential of the martensitic phase transformation in Ni46.8Ti50Fe3.2 was determined using high resolution x-ray diffraction to measure the spontaneous strain and calorimetric measurements to determine the excess specific heat of the R phase. The spontaneous strain is proportional to the square of the order parameter which is tested by the relation of the excess entropy and the order parameter. The parameters of the Landau free energy were determined by fitting the temperature evolution of the order parameter and using the scaling between the excess entropy and the order parameter. The double well potential at absolute zero temperature was calculated and the interface energy and domain wall thickness were estimated.
