Abstract
⺠A bar-shaped specimen of Cu-Al-Ni single crystal is mechanically stabilized as a single variant of martensite. ⺠Heating is provided locally by an iron tip at various points of the specimen's surface. ⺠It is observed that austenite always nucleates at a corner and not under the tip. ⺠In a simplified model, we propose an explanation for the location of the nucleation points. ⺠Our ideas are based on the notion of quasiconvexity.
