A Tribute to Professor 'Jack' Christian

H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia

Abstract

Jack Christian's contributions to the theory of transformations in metals and alloys are distinguished by their lasting value and standard of scholarship. This paper is a short celebration of his far-reaching influence on the theory of martensitic phase transformations.
