Modulated phases in multi-stage structural transformations
For multistage displacive structural transitions we present a general framework that accounts for various intermediate modulated phases, elastic constant, phonon, and related thermodynamic anomalies. Based on the presence or absence of modulated phases we classify these transformations in four categories and apply this approach to four different representative materials Ni-Mn-Ga ~or a-U), NiTi~...
متن کاملInterfaces of Modulated Phases
Numerically minimizing a continuous free-energy functional which yields several modulated phases, we obtain the order-parameter profiles and interfacial free energies of symmetric and nonsymmetric tilt boundaries within the lamellar phase, and of interfaces between coexisting lamellar, hexagonal, and disordered phases. Our findings agree well with chevron, omega, and T-junction tilt-boundary mo...
متن کاملModulated Phases in Spin-Peierls Systems
The discovery of the first inorganic spin-Peierls substance CuGeO3 by Hase et al. [1] renewed the interest in the phases of spin-Peierls substances (for reviews, see [2]). The constituting element of these substances are quasi one-dimensional spin chains coupled to the lattice degrees of freedom. The incommensurably modulated (I) phase is particularly interesting since this phase is the most co...
متن کاملFrustration in Modulated Phases : Ripples and Boojums
Many exotic modulated phases can be described in terms of regular array of defects. We have studied frustrated continuum elastic theories for several such liquid crystalline systems. While in each case the nature of the modulation and the defects is quite different, we note striking similarities in the structure of the free energies. In each case, frustration arises from the local packing prope...
متن کاملModulated spiral phases in doped quantum antiferromagnets
2014 We study the spiral phase discovered by Shraiman and Siggia, in the regime of coupling constant where the effective spin wave stiffness is negative. We show that this instability does not signal a phase separation but rather the formation of domain walls in the (1,1) or (1,1) directions on a square lattice, where holes get trapped. We discuss briefly the interplay between dipolar and Coulo...
