title: Kinetics of martensitic transformations in magnetic field or under hydrostatic pressure.
abstract: We have recently constructed a phenomenological theory that provides a unified explanation for athermal and isothermal martensitic transformation processes. On the basis of this theory, we predict some properties of martensitic transformation and confirm them experimentally using some Fe-based alloys and a Ni-Co-Mn-In magnetic shape memory alloy.
