Hydrogen-Bond Density Drives the Order-Disorder Phase Transition from Orientational to Vibrational in Polyalcohol Plastic Crystals
Ares Sanuy, Carlos Escorihuela-Sayalero, Pol Lloveras +5
Neopentane-derived plastic crystals undergo order-disorder phase transitions accompanied by exceptionally large entropy changes, making them attractive solid-state materials for th…
Molecular origins of colossal barocaloric effects in plastic crystals
Ares Sanuy, Carlos Escorihuela-Sayalero, Pol Lloveras +3
In recent years, orientationally disordered crystals, or plastic crystals, have transformed the field of solid-state cooling due to the significant latent heat and entropy changes…
Lead-free room-temperature ferroelectric thermal conductivity switch using anisotropies in thermal conductivities

Meta-screening and permanence of polar distortion in metallized ferroelectrics
Hong Jian Zhao, Alessio Filippetti, Carlos Escorihuela-Sayalero +5
Ferroelectric materials are characterized by a spontaneous polar distortion. The behavior of such distortions in the presence of free charge is the key to the physics of metallized…
A phononic switch based on ferroelectric domain walls
Juan Antonio Seijas-Bellido, Carlos Escorihuela-Sayalero, Miquel Royo +4
The ease with which domain walls (DWs) in ferroelectric materials can be written and erased provides a versatile way to dynamically modulate heat fluxes. In this work we evaluate t…
