Phase transitions include such phenomena as ice melting (solid to liquid), or steam coming from a teakettle (liquid to gas). However, the study of how one arrangement of molecules changes into ...

Room-Temperature Topological Phase Transition in Quasi-One-Dimensional Material Bi4I4. Physical Review X , 2021; 11 (3) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevx.11.031042 Cite This Page : ...

As a model substance, we used 4-cyano-4’-pentylbiphenyl (5CB), a well—studied liquid crystal with a phase transition temperature of 306-308 K. The calculations required long runs of tens of days in ...

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 ...

Under this phenomenon, the crystal, which exhibits a thermal phase transition that is reversible by heating and cooling, transforms to the identical phase upon light irradiation at temperatures ...

Researchers have identified a quantum phase transition taking place in iron more than 1000 kilometres deep within the Earth’s mantle. This transition, known as a spin crossover, also occurs in ...

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.

The findings, published in the Nov. 4 issue of Science, provide the first clear demonstration of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism for a quantum phase transition in both space and time. Prof. Cheng Chin and ...
