Thermally quenched metastable phase in the Ising model with competing interactions
Hiroshi Oike, Hidemaro Suwa, Yasunori Takahashi +1
Thermal quenching has been used to find metastable materials such as hard steels and metallic glasses. More recently, quenching-based phase control has been applied to correlated e…
