The prediction of reaction pathways for solid-solid transformations remains a key challenge. Here, we develop a pathway sampling method via swarm intelligence and graph theory and demonstrate that our ...

Phase transitions, like water freezing into ice or boiling into vapor, cause dramatic changes in a material’s properties at specific temperatures. While these transitions are well understood in ...

Building on previous studies that have explored magnetic signatures indicative of spin glass transitions, our research employs a systematic approach to refine the identification of this transition ...

To investigate the glass transition characteristics, this study delves into the glass transition temperature of asphalt binder based on molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the calculation ...

This achievement paves the way for novel research fields of combining material phase transition and photonic topological phase transition, and is promising for reconfigurable functional photonic ...

It marks an important first step towards obtaining the low-temperature phase diagram of the FHM and understanding the role of quantum magnetism in the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.

In a paper recently published in Physical Review Letters, Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers offer a new theory that predicts defect density across a variety of phase transitions. The ...

A series of non-stoichiometric (TiZrVNb)Cx ceramics were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at different temperatures. The phase decomposition took place with the reduction of carbon content ...

Based on Canny operator edge detection and watershed algorithm, this paper establishes the image segmentation model. Then, based on the open source OCR (Optical Character Recognition) model, ...

Multiple numerical studies have unambiguously shown the existence of a liquid–liquid critical point in supercooled states for different numerical models of water, and various structural indicators ...
