In a solid-state diffusional phase transformation involving nucleation and growth, the size of the critical nucleus for a homogeneous process (r*homo=r* ) has been assumed to be a time invariant constant of the transformation. The strain…

Solid-state refrigeration technology based on caloric effects are promising to replace the currently used vapor compression cycles. However, their application is restricted due to limited performances of caloric materials. Here, we have…

We present a study of the dynamics and structural changes for trans-1,2-dichloroethylene between high and low density liquids using neutron scattering techniques (diffraction, small angle neutron scattering and time of flight spectroscopy)…

The observation of a non-classical rotation inertia (NCRI) fraction in bulk solid 4He by M. Chan and E. Kim attracted significant interest as a possible manifestation of supersolid state of matter. Despite numerous experimental and…

We follow the structural transformation in solid C$_{70}$ from the high temperature hcp to a low temperature monoclinic phase using x-ray diffraction studies at controlled cooling-rates from 0.0033 to 0.42 K/min. Rapid cooling of the sample…

The occurrence of bcc-fcc ($\alpha$-$\gamma$) and fcc-bcc ($\gamma$-$\delta$) phase transitions in magnetic iron stems from the interplay between magnetic excitations and lattice vibrations. However, this fact has never been proven by a…

Using numerical simulations, we study the dynamical evolution of particles interacting via competing long-range repulsion and short-range attraction in two dimensions. The particles are compressed using a time-dependent quasi-one…

A neutrino produced in a particle decay maintains an unusual wave nature that reveals a diffraction phenomenon in a large spatial region. Diffraction gives a new component to a neutrino flux in this region and modifies determinations of…

We analyze the phenomena of Bose Novae, as described by Donley et al [Nature 412, 295 (2001)], by focusing on the behavior of excitations or fluctuations above the condensate, as driven by the dynamics of the condensate (rather than the…

Tracking experiments in dense biological tissues reveal a diversity of sources f or local energy injection at the cell scale. The effect of cell motility has been largely studied, but much less is known abo ut the effect of the observed…

Neutron and x-ray diffraction techniques have been used to study the competing long and short-range polar order in the relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Mg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_{3}$ (PMN) under a [111] applied electric field. Despite reports of a…

The effect of the film thickness and temperature on structural phase transformations in infinite films of bcc zirconium with (001) crystallographic orientation is studied by the molecular dynamics method with a many-body potential of…

Refractory high entropy alloys containing elements from the Ti, V and Cr columns of the periodic table form body centered cubic (BCC) structures. Elements from the Ti column are noteworthy because they take the BCC structure at high…

Direct observation of organic molecular nanocrystals and their evolution using electron microscopy is extremely challenging, due to their radiation sensitivity and complex structure. Here, we introduce 4D-scanning confocal electron…

The evolution of the nucleon structure as a function of atomic mass A is considered for the first time for the lightest nuclei, D, 3H, 3He and 4He, with an approach based on the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. We show that the pattern of the…

The kinetics and thermodynamics of structural transformations under pressure depend strongly on particle size due to the influence of surface free energy. By suitable design of surface structure, composition, and passivation it is possible,…

We report results of torsional oscillator (TO) experiments on solid $^4$He at temperatures above 1K. We have previously found that single crystals, once disordered, show some mobility (decoupled mass) even at these rather high temperatures.…

The structural phase transformations of 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.3PbTiO3 (PMN-30%PT) have been studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and neutron scattering as a function of temperature and electric field. We observe the phase transformational…

We have computed the one--body density matrix rho_1 in solid 4He at T=0 K using the Shadow Wave Function (SWF) variational technique. The accuracy of the SWF has been tested with an exact projector method. We find that off-diagonal long…

Kinetics of dislocations is studied by means of computer simulation during intensive plastic deformation. The dynamical effect in the form of soliton-like wave of sharply disrupted interparticle bonds is observed. Along with it, micropores…
