Strain–temperature experiments, differential scanning calorimeter, and scanning electron microscope analyses were performed to validate the theoretical predictions by DFT calculation regarding the influence of the C¢ parameter on martensitic stability. Despite the absence of an observed shape memory effect under the tested conditions, the findings suggest that ZrPdRu alloys hold promise for high-temperature applications.en© The Author(s) 2024.
