Pressure-induced topological phase transitions in membranes.
Some highly unusual features of a lipid-water liquid crystal are revealed by high pressure x-ray diffraction, light scattering and dilatometric studies of the lamellar (bilayer Lα) to nonlamellar inverse hexagonal (HII) phase transition. (i) The size of the unit cell of the HII phase increases with increasing pressure. (ii) The transition volume, ∆Vbh, decreases and appears to vanish as the pre...
متن کاملPressure induced phase transitions in PbTiO(3).
Recent theoretical simulations using density functional theory (DFT) and novel low temperature high energy x-ray diffraction experiments clearly show the existence of a high pressure morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in pure PbTiO(3). The experiments show a richer phase diagram than the simulations, with multiple monoclinic phases (Pm and Cm) in the MPB region. In this paper we examine the MPB ...
متن کاملUniversal transition state for high-pressure zinc blende to rocksalt phase transitions.
First-principles density functional calculations show that the high-pressure transitions of different semiconductors from zinc blende to rocksalt go through a transition state, which is universal in the sense that its position along the path and the corresponding geometry is independent of the chemical components of the semiconductor. This is explained using a Landau-like model expansion of the...
متن کاملPressure-induced electronic topological transitions in low dimensional superconductors
The high-Tc cuprate superconductors are characterized by a quasitwo-dimensional layered structure where most of the physics relevant for high-Tc superconductivity is believed to take place. In such compounds, the unusual dependence of critical temperature Tc on external pressure results from the combination of the nonmonotonic dependence of Tc on hole doping or hole-doping distribution among in...
متن کاملTopological Aspects of Phase Transitions
In the past decade and a half, an alternative analysis of phase transitions, based in the topological behavior of system configuration spaces, has been introduced. This method offers a new understanding of many phase transitions, particularly those in finite systems, using topology and manifold behavior. While the broadest hypotheses offered by researchers have proven overly optimistic, the met...
