In this study, NiTi thin films were obtained by using a Filtered Arc Deposition System (FADS). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to investigat...
