Quartz (SiO₂) exhibits a hallmark displacive phase transition between its low-temperature α-polymorph and high-temperature β-polymorph at approximately 573 °C. This reversible transformation involves ...

Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these transitions have primarily been studied in three-dimensional (3D) and ...

Researchers have achieved a remarkable result: capturing and studying phase changes in quantum hardware, which hold hold promise for next-generation technologies like quantum computing and ...

Organic molecular crystals can respond to external stimuli such as heat, light, and mechanical force, making them attractive candidates for next-generation functional materials. However, predicting ...

PCMs leverage the principle of latent heat to function effectively. During the phase transition process, a PCM absorbs a substantial amount of latent heat from its environment, cooling the area as it ...
