Microstructure of Martensite: Why It Forms and How It Gives Rise to the Shape-Memory Effect

There is certainly great need for this book. There is nothing quite like it. (Robert V. Kohn, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences)

Bhattacharya has described the modern theory in the clearest and most pedagogical way that I have seen. It will be a very valuable addition to the literature on martensite. (Adrian P. Sutton FRS, University of Oxford)

Bhattacharya explains in simple terms various ideas that only otherwise are available in the mathematical literature and completely unaccessible to a materials scientist... There is no comparable text out there. (Richard D. James, University of Minnesota)

A remarkable effort of the author is that of presenting an issue that usually requires nontrivial mathematical techniques in a format accessible not only to experts. (Mathematical Reviews, 2007)

Bhattacharya is one of the top researchers in this field and perhaps the finest expositor of this material that I know. (Rohan Abeyaratne, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
