The arrangement of atoms in materials depends on the chemical composition and the environment ( stress, temperature, magnetic field). By understanding the change in atomic arrangement, we gain insight into the consequences of the transformation. Our goal is to try to predict these transformations in the hope of creating better alloys and processes.
