From thermodynamic analysis we demonstrate that during metal-insulator transitions in pure matters, a nonequilibrium homogeneous state may be unstable against charge density modulations with certain wavelengths, and thus evolves to the…
Matter under irradiation may enter unusual transient states, outside of its equilibrium phase diagram. One of such states is a superionic-like state, in which one sublattice of a compound liquifies, whereas another one remains solid. Here,…
