Materials exhibiting a martensitic phase transition are essential for applications in shape memory alloys, actuators and sensors. Hexamethylbenzene (HMB) has long been considered as a classical example of ferroelastic organic crystals since…
The thermodynamic stability of the premartensite (PM) phase has been a topic of extensive investigation in shape memory alloys as it affects the main martensite phase transition and the related physical properties. In general, the PM phase…
The stability of a discrete time crystal against thermal fluctuations has been studied numerically by solving a stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation of a periodically-driven classical system composed of interacting spins, each of…
We have characterized the dynamics of the polar nanoregions in Pb(Mg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_{3}$ (PMN) through high-resolution neutron backscattering and spin-echo measurements of the diffuse scattering cross section. We find that the diffuse…
Neutron diffraction measurements, performed in presence of an external magnetic field, have been used to show structural evidence for the kinetic arrest of the first-order phase transition from (i) the high temperature austenite phase to…
Angular-dependent magnetic torque measurements performed near the critical temperature on single crystals of HgBa_{2}CuO_{4+y}, La_{2-x}Sr{x}CuO_{4}, and YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6.93} are scaled, following the 3D XY model, in order to determine the…
The thermal memory effect, TME, has been studied in Ni55Fe19Ga26 shape memory alloys, fabricated as ribbons via melt-spinning and as pellets via arc-melting, to evaluate its dependence on the martensitic structure and the macrostructure of…
Ni-Mn-In magnetic shape-memory Heusler alloys exhibit generally a large thermal hysteresis at their first-order martensitic phase transition which hinder a technological application in magnetic refrigeration. By optimizing the Cu content in…
We study the structural properties and the collective microscopic dynamics of atoms in the amorphous metallic alloy $Ni_{33}Zr_{67}$ at the temperature $T=300K$ by molecular dynamics simulations. The calculated equilibrium structural and…
In the majority of magnetic systems the surface is required to order at the same temperature as the bulk. In the present study, we report a distinct and unexpected surface magnetic phase transition, uniquely at a lower temperature than the…
We describe a simple and accurate differential thermal analysis set up to measure the latent heat of solid state materials undergoing abrupt phase transitions in the temperature range from 77 K to above room temperature. We report a…
Magnetic properties of polycrystalline samples of RuSr$_2$(Gd$_{1.5}$Ce$_{0.5}$)Cu$_{2}$O$_{10-\delta}$, as-prepared (by solid-state reaction) and annealed (12 hours at 845$^{\circ}$C) in pure oxygen at different pressure (30, 62 and 78…
Structural, magnetic, transport and thermal properties of YbCu5-xAux alloys with Au concentration between the limit of structural stability of AuBe5 type at x = 0.4 up to x = 0.7 are reported. The outstanding features of this system are: i)…
The temperature dependent crystal structure analysis in martensitic phase of Ni_2Mn_(1+x)Sn_(1-x) (x = 0.40 and 0.44) magnetic shape memory alloy is performed using X-ray diffraction. The martensitic phase consists of 4-Layered and…
The temperature dependent diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurements were carried out on the polycrystalline samples of BaTiO3 across the tetragonal to cubic structural phase transition temperature. The values of various optical…
We investigate the normal mode spectrum of a trapped ion chain at the symmetry-breaking linear to zigzag transition and at finite temperatures. For this purpose we modulate the amplitude of the Doppler cooling laser in order to excite and…
The cumulant ratios up to fourth order of the $Z$ distributions of the largest fragment in spectator fragmentation following $^{107,124}$Sn+Sn and $^{124}$La+Sn collisions at 600 MeV/nucleon have been investigated. They are found to exhibit…
The transverse-field Ising model on the triangular lattice is expected to host an intermediate finite-temperature Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) phase through a mapping of the spins on each triangular unit to a complex order parameter.…
UPt${}_{3}$ exhibits a paradoxical behavior in its antiferromagnetism. Namely, the neutron scattering experiments surely detect the antifferomagnetic ordering below the transition temperature ${\rm T}_{N}\sim 5K$, while no trace of the…
We use recent developments in the framework of time dependent matrix product state method (t-MPS) to compute the NMR relaxation rate $1/T_1$ for spin-1/2 chains under magnetic field and for different Hamiltonians (XXX, XXZ, isotropically…
