Leveraging mechanical resonances for the selection of promising materials in complex phase spaces
Christopher A. Mizzi, Osman El-Atwani, Tannor T. J. Munroe +2
The "high-entropy" paradigm has been applied to a central challenge in materials science, the design of new functional materials with enhanced performance for targeted applications…
High Entropy Engineering of Magnetic Kagome Lattice (Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Er)Mn6Sn6
Wenhao Liu, Nikhil Uday Dhale, Youzhe Chen +8
The magnetic kagome lattice compound RMn6Sn6 (R=rare earth) is an emerging platform to exploit the interplay between magnetism and topological electronic states where a variety of…
Determining the Nature of Magnetism in Altermagnetic Candidate RuO
Tiema Qian, Aya Rutherford, Eun Sang Choi +4
The terminology "altermagnetism" has recently been adopted to describe collinear magnetic order with no net magnetization and non-relativisitic, momentum-dependent spin-splitting.…
Adaptation of Wallace's Approach to the Specific Heat of Elemental Solids with Significant Intrinsic Anharmonicity, Particularly the Light Actinide Metals
Christopher A. Mizzi, W. Adam Phelan, Matthew S. Cook +6
The quasiharmonic approximation is the most common method for modeling the specific heat of solids; however, it fails to capture the effects of intrinsic anharmonicity. In this stu…
Band bending and ratcheting explain triboelectricity in a flexoelectric contact diode
Karl P. Olson, Christopher A. Mizzi, Laurence D. Marks
Triboelectricity was recognized millennia ago, but the fundamental mechanism of charge transfer is still not understood. We have recently proposed a model where flexoelectric band…
How Flexoelectricity Drives Triboelectricity
Christopher A. Mizzi, Laurence D. Marks
Triboelectricity has been known since antiquity, but the fundamental physics underlying this phenomenon lacks consensus. We present a flexoelectric model for triboelectricity where…
Twin Boundary Mediated Flexoelectricity in LaAlO
Christopher A. Mizzi, Binghao Guo, Laurence D. Marks
Flexoelectricity has garnered much attention owing to its ability to bring electromechanical functionality to non-piezoelectric materials and its nanoscale significance. In order t…
Does Flexoelectricity Drive Triboelectricity?
Christopher A. Mizzi, Alex Y. W. Lin, Laurence D. Marks
The triboelectric effect, charge transfer during sliding, is well established but the thermodynamic driver is not well understood. We hypothesize here that flexoelectric potential…
Electronic Structure of Lanthanide Scandates
Christopher A. Mizzi, Pratik Koirala, Laurence D. Marks
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations were used to study the electronic structure of three lanthanide…
Direct Observation of Large Flexoelectric Bending at the Nanoscale in Lanthanide Scandates
Pratik Koirala, Christopher Mizzi, Laurence D. Marks
Large bending of materials can occur at the nanoscale in response to an electric polarization, what is called the flexoelectric effect, but to date this has not been observed direc…
