A method is provided for predicting material properties and creating or modifying materials to exhibit desired properties. Materials and devices are described that are formed using the methods. Using embodiments described above, a number of advantages are realized. One advantage includes an ability to predict hysteresis in a multiple phase material. One embodiment includes an ability to modify or create a material to exhibit low hysteresis. Using embodiments described above to predict material properties and modify material properties, a number of materials can be created. An improved shape memory alloy with low hysteresis can be created. Additionally, a material that exhibits any of a number of properties that are normally mutually exclusive can be created.
