Microstructure evolutions upon cooling in three ferroelastic systems having different defect concentrations, c=0.02, 0.14 and 0.40, respectively. Green color in the figures represents the parent phase; blue and red colors represent the two different martensitic variants. As the defect concentration increases, the behavior of the ferroelastic system shifts from ‘the cooler the faster’ (c=0.02 and 0.14) to ‘the cooler the slower’ (c=0.40).
