Ferroelectricity in free standing perovskite-based nanodots: A density functional theory study
Karthik Guda Vishnu, Samuel Temple Reeve, Alejandro Strachan
We use density functional theory to investigate the possibility of polar and multiferroic states in free-standing, perovskite-based nanodots at their limit of miniaturization: sing…

Tuning martensitic transformations via coherent second phases in nanolaminates using free energy landscape engineering
Saaketh Desai, Samuel Temple Reeve, Karthik Guda Vishnu +1
We explore the possibilities and limitations of using a coherent second phase to engineer the thermo-mechanical properties of a martensitic alloy by modifying the underlying free e…

Uncharacteristic second order martensitic transformation in metals via epitaxial stress fields
Samuel Temple Reeve, Karthik Guda Vishnu, Alejandro Strachan
While most phase transformations, e.g. ferroelectric or ferromagnetic, can be first or second order depending on external applied fields, martensitic transformations in metallic al…
