We performed comprehensive structural studies on local ionic displacements and medium-range ordering across a series of phase transitions in (1−x)Pb(Zn1∕3Nb2∕3)O3–xPbTiO3 (PZN-xPT) at 15K by using neutron pair-distribution-function (PDF) and Rietveld analyses. PDF spectra clearly demonstrate that all phases of PZN-xPT…

Magnetoelastic domains in ferromagnetic shape memory alloys evolve through either variant rearrangement or magnetization rotation, resulting in a large or a small magnetic field-induced strain depending on the magnitude of applied compressive stress. These phenomena are simulated in this letter using an unconventional…

Current-induced breakdown is investigated for carbon nanofibers (CNF) for potential interconnect applications. The measured maximum current density in the suspended CNF is inversely proportional to the nanofiber length and is independent of diameter. This relationship can be described with a heat transport model that…
