Phase Transformations in Multifunctional Materials
Phase Transformations in Multifunctional Materials
Phase transformation materials are characterized by their ability to rapidly and reversibly switch between distinct properties, such as insulating and conducting, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic, or Li-rich and Li-poor. These transformations, however, are accompanied by abrupt structural changes in the crystal lattices, which can nucleate defects, accumulate strain energy, and accelerate material decay. We investigate these […]
