Enhancement of polar nature of domain boundaries in ferroelastic Pb3(PO4)2 by doping divalent-metal ions.
The effect of doping metal ions in ferroelastic Pb3(PO4)2 (PPO) on the polar nature of domain boundaries (DBs) was investigated using a second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope. It has been already reported that (DBs) of...

Current vortices and magnetic fields driven by moving polar twin boundaries in ferroelastic materials

AbstractFerroelastic twin boundaries often have properties that do not exist in bulk, such as superconductivity, polarity etc. Designing and optimizing domain walls can hence functionalize...

Direct evidence of polar ferroelastic domain boundaries in semiconductor BiVO4
Ferroelastic domain boundaries in semiconductor bismuth vanadate, BiVO4, are examined using second harmonic generation microscopy. Although the bulk is centrosymmetric, domain boundaries produce homogeneous second harmonic (SH)...

Twisting of pre-twinned α-Fe nanowires
Y Yang, S Li, X Ding, J Sun, J Weiss, EKH Salje

We studied the torsion behavior of α-Fe nanowires seeded with twin boundaries (TBs) using molecular dynamics simulations. Twisting the wire generates topological defects in the twin walls, namely kinks inside the twin walls for...

Ferroelastic Twinning in Minerals
Ekhard K. H. Salje
May 02, 2021
Ferroelastic twinning in minerals is a very common phenomenon. The twin laws follow simple symmetry rules and they are observed in minerals, like feldspar, palmierite, leucite, perovskite, and so forth. The major discovery over...

The duration-energy-size enigma for acoustic emission.
Acoustic emission (AE) measurements of avalanches in different systems, such as domain movements in ferroics or the collapse of voids in porous materials, cannot be compared with model predictions without a detailed analysis of...

Crackling noise and avalanches in minerals
Abstract: The non-smooth, jerky movements of microstructures under external forcing in minerals are explained by avalanche theory in this review. External stress or internal deformations by impurities and electric fields modify...

Measuring Spatial Dependence for Infectious Disease Epidemiology.
Global spatial clustering is the tendency of points, here cases of infectious disease, to occur closer together than expected by chance. The extent of global clustering can provide a window into the spatial scale of disease...
