Glassy crystals with colossal multi-baroresponsivities
Kun Zhang, Zhe Zhang, Hailong Pan +16
As a nontrivial solid state of matter, the glassy-crystal state embraces physical features of both crystalline and amorphous solids, where a long-range ordered periodic structure f…
Ultrasensitive barocaloric material for room-temperature solid-state refrigeration
Qingyong Ren, Ji Qi, Dehong Yu +7
Solid-state refrigeration based on caloric effects is an energetically efficient and environmentally friendly technology, which is deemed as a potential alternative to the conventi…
The scaling of the vibrational density of states in quasi-2D nanoconfined solids
Yuanxi Yu, Chenxing Yang, Matteo Baggioli +7
Atomic vibrations play a vital role in the functions of various physical, chemical, and biological systems. The vibrational properties and the specific heat of crystalline bulk mat…
Barocaloric thermal batteries
Zhe Zhang, Kuo Li, Shangchao Lin +21
Nowadays the world is facing a prominent paradox regarding thermal energy. The production of heat accounts for more than 50% of global final energy consumption while the waste heat…
Ultrafast ferromagnetic fluctuations preceding magnetoelastic first-order transitions
Zhao Zhang, Yanna Chen, Dehong Yu +18
First-order magnetic transitions are of both fundamental and technological interest given that a number of emergent phases and functionalities are thereby created. Of particular in…
Dimer rattling mode induced low thermal conductivity in an excellent acoustic conductor
Ji Qi, Baojuan Dong, Zhe Zhang +19
A solid with larger sound speeds exhibits higher lattice thermal conductivity (k_{lat}). Diamond is a prominent instance where its mean sound speed is 14400 m s-1 and k_{lat} is 23…
