Solid-state heating using the multicaloric effect in multiferroics
Melvin M. Vopson, Yuri K. Fetisov, Ian Hepburn
The multicaloric effect is defined as the adiabatic temperature change in multiferroic materials induced by the application of an external electric or magnetic field, and it was fi…
Estimation of the information contained in the visible matter of the universe
Melvin M. Vopson
The information capacity of the universe has been a topic of great debate since 1970s, and continues to stimulate multiple branches of physics research. Here we used Shannon's info…
The Information Catastrophe
Melvin M. Vopson
Currently we produce 10 to power 21 digital bits of information annually on Earth. Assuming 20 percent annual growth rate, we estimate that 350 years from now, the number of bits p…
The generalized Lindemann melting coefficient
Melvin M. Vopson, Nassina Rogers, Ian Hepburn
Lindemann developed the melting temperature theory over 100 years ago, known as the Lindemann criterion. Its main assumption is that melting occurs when the root-mean-square vibrat…
Heat-Assisted Multiferroic Solid-State Memory
Serban Lepadatu, Melvin M. Vopson
A heat-assisted multiferroic solid-state memory design is proposed and analysed, based on a PbNbZrSnTiO3 antiferroelectric substrate and Ni81Fe19 magnetic free layer. Information i…
Reply to "Rebuttal of "The multicaloric effect in multiferroic materials", [arXiv:1602.04238]"
Melvin M. Vopson
Vopson first published the multicaloric effect in multiferroics in 2012. However, a closer examination of the multicaloric effect and its derivation leads to a contradiction, in wh…
