Modulated phases in multi-stage structural transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
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~Fe!, Ni-Al, and Cu-Zn-Al. We suggest that the anomalous increase in elastic constants and phonon frequency observed when approaching the martensitic transition from above is a signature of the commensurate modulated phase.

Polymorphic nanoparticles as all-optical memory elements.
A nanoparticle undergoing light-induced transformations between structural phases with different optical properties is an inheritably bistable structure and this bistability can be used to create a resonator-free optical memory element, operating at very low power levels. We experimentally demonstrate this memory functionality using a film of gallium nanoparticles, and we present a method for d...

متن کاملA Structural Approach for Transistor Circuit Synthesis
This paper presents a structural approach for synthesizing arbitrary multi-output multi-stage static CMOS circuits at the transistor level, targeting the reduction of transistor counts. To make the problem tractable, the solution space is restricted to the circuit structures which can be obtained by performing algebraic transformations on an arbitrary primeand-irredundant two-level circuit. The...

متن کاملStructural phase transformations in metallic grain boundaries.
Structural transformations at interfaces are of profound fundamental interest as complex examples of phase transitions in low-dimensional systems. Despite decades of extensive research, no compelling evidence exists for structural transformations in high-angle grain boundaries in elemental systems. Here we show that the critical impediment to observations of such phase transformations in atomis...
