Structural phase transitions are governed by the underlying atomic transformation mechanism; martensitic transformations can be separated into strain and shuffle components. A systematic pathway generation and sorting algorithm is presented and applied to the problem of the titanium alpha to omega transformation under pressure. In this algorithm, all pathways are constructed within a few geometric limits, and efficiently sorted by their energy barriers. The geometry and symmetry details of the seven lowest energy barrier pathways are given. The lack of a single simple geometric criterion for determining the lowest energy pathway shows the necessity of atomistic studies for pathway determination.
