Applying a magnetic field to a ferromagnetic Ni$_{50}$Mn$_{34}$In$_{16}$ alloy in the martensitic state induces a structural phase transition to the austenitic state. This is accompanied by a strain which recovers on removing the magnetic…

We report results on the temperature dependence of the susceptibilities of a set of MBE-grown short-period EuTe/PbTe antiferromagnetic superlattices having different EuTe layer thicknesses. In-plane and orthogonal susceptibilities have been…

Magneto-active elastomers (MAEs) are polymer composites consisting of magnetic microparticles embedded in an elastomeric matrix. These materials exhibit strong magneto-mechanical coupling under external magnetic fields, resulting in tunable…

Martensites are materials that undergo diffusionless, solid-state transitions. The martensitic transition yields properties that depend on the history of the material and may allow it to recover its previous shape after plastic deformation.…

Ferroelectric (FE) size effects against the scaling law were reported recently in ultrathin group-IV monochalcogenides, and extrinsic effects (e.g. defects and lattice strains) were often resorted to. Via first-principles based…

Various new phenomena emerge in quantum materials under elastic deformations, such as hydrostatic or uniaxial stresses. In particular, using uniaxial strain or stress can help to tune or uncover specific structural or electronic orders in…

This work explains the occurrence of transformation-induced plasticity via stress-assisted martensite, when designing ultrafine-grained duplex steels. It is found that, when the austenite is reduced to a fine scale of about 300 nm, the…

In materials that undergo martensitic phase transformation, macroscopic loading often leads to the creation and/or rearrangement of elastic domains. This paper considers an example {involving} a single-crystal slab made from two martensite…

The inverse magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in Ni-Mn-based Heusler compounds occurs during the magnetostructural transition between low-temperature, low-magnetization martensite and high-temperature, high-magnetization austenite. In this study,…

General approach for consideration of primary ferroic (ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, ferroelastic) nanoparticles phase transitions was proposed in phenomenological theory framework. The surface stress, order parameter gradient, striction as…

Electrical triggering of a metal-insulator transition (MIT) often results in the formation of characteristic spatial patterns such as a metallic filament percolating through an insulating matrix or an insulating barrier splitting a…

Magnetoelectric (ME) multiferroics enable efficient interconversion of electrical and magnetic signals, offering pathways toward substantial reduction of power consumption in next-generation computing and information technologies. However,…

Embedding magnetic colloidal particles in an elastic polymer matrix leads to smart soft materials that can reversibly be addressed from outside by external magnetic fields. We discover a pronounced nonlinear superelastic stress-strain…

Metallic/intermetalic materials with BCC structures hold an intrinsic instability due to phonon softening along [110] dirrection, causing BCC to lower-symmetry phases transformation when the BCC structures are thermally or mechanically…

Magnetic, transport, and x-ray diffraction measurements of ferromagnetic shape memory alloy Ni$_{2.16}$Mn$_{0.84}$Ga revealed that this alloy undergoes an intermartensitic transition upon cooling, whereas no such a transition is observed…

We develop a variational mean-field theory of the ferromagnetic transition in compounds like Lanthanum-Manganite within the framework of the Double-Exchange Model supplemented by modest disorder. We obtain analytical expressions for the…

A magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) consisting of single-domain La0.8Ag0.2Mn1.2O3 nanoparticles with a Curie temperature close to room temperature (TC = 308 K) in a silicone matrix has been prepared and comprehensively studied. It has been…

Motivated by experimental progress in pressure and strain tuning of quantum materials, we examine the thermodynamic response of frustrated magnets to uniaxial strain. Specifically, we study Ising and Heisenberg models on spatially…

Martensites are long-lived nonequilibrium structures produced following a quench across a solid state structural transition. In a recent paper (Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 2168 (1997)), we had described a mode-coupling theory for the morphology…

We consider a recently introduced 2-D square-to-rectangle martensite model that explains several unusual features of martensites to study ferromagnetic martensites. The strain order parameter is coupled to the magnetic order parameter…
