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…
Does the boson peak survive in an ultrathin oxide glass?
D. L. Cortie, M. J. Cyster, J. S. Smith +7
Bulk glasses exhibit extra vibrational modes at low energies, known as the boson peak. The microscopic dynamics in nanoscale alumina impact the performance of qubits and other supe…
Colossal barocaloric effects in plastic crystals
Bing Li, Yukinobu Kawakita, Hui Wang +6
Solid-state refrigeration technology based on caloric effects are promising to replace the currently used vapor compression cycles. However, their application is restricted due to…
Coupled magnetic and ferroelectric excitations in PbFe_{1/2}Nb_{1/2}O_{3}
C. Stock, S. R. Dunsiger, R. A. Mole +2
A neutron scattering investigation of the magnetoelectric coupling in PbFe_{1/2}Nb_{1/2}O_{3} (PFN) has been undertaken. Ferroelectric order occurs below 400 K, as evidenced by the…
