AbstractA systematic study of various metal-insulator transition (MIT) associated phases of VO2, including metallic R phase and insulating phases (T, M1, M2), is required to uncover the physics of MIT and trigger their promising applications. Here, through an oxide inhibitor-assisted stoichiometry engineering, we show that all the insulating phases can be selectively stabilized in single-crystalline VO2 beams at room temperature. The stoichiometry engineering strategy also provides precise spatial control of the phase configurations in as-grown VO2 beams at the submicron-scale, introducing a fresh concept of phase transition route devices. For instance, the combination of different phase transition routes at the two sides of VO2 beams gives birth to a family of single-crystalline VO2 actuators with highly improved performance and functional diversity. This work provides a substantial understanding of the stoichiometry-temperature phase diagram and a stoichiometry engineering strategy for the effective phase management of VO2.

In the conventional Avrami–Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl model, the reaction or phase transition occurring in the 2D or 3D infinite medium is considered to start and proceed around randomly distributed and/or appearing nucleation centers. The radius of the regions transformed is assumed to linearly increase with time. The Monte Carlo simulations presented, illustrate what may happen if the transformation takes place in nanoparticles. The attention is focused on nucleation on the regular surface, edge and corner sites, and on the dependence of the activation energy for elementary reaction events on the local state of the sites.

Hydrothermally synthesized one-dimensional and two-dimensional nanocrystals of VO2 undergo phase transition around 65?C, where temperature and mechanism of phase transition are dependent on dimensionality of nanocrystals. Both nanocrystalline samples exhibit depression of phase transition temperature compared to the bulk material, the magnitude of which depends on the dimensionality of the nanocrystal. One-dimensional nanoribbons exhibit lower phase transition temperature and higher values of apparent activation energy than two-dimensional nanosheets. The phase transition exhibits as a complex process with somewhat lower value of enthalpy than the phase transition in the bulk, probably due to higher proportion of surface atoms in the nanocrystals. High values of apparent activation energy indicate that individual steps of the phase transition involve simultaneous movement of large groups of atoms, as expected for single-domain nanocrystalline materials.

Background: Melting of a pure crystalline material is generally treated thermodynamically which disregards the dynamic aspects of the melting process. According to the kinetic phenomenon, any process should be characterized by activation energy and preexponential factor where these kinetic parameters are derivable from the temperature dependence of the process rate. Study on such dependence in case of melting of a pure crystalline solid gives rise to a challenge as such melting occurs at a particular temperature only. The temperature region of melting of pure crystalline solid cannot be extended beyond this temperature making it difficult to explore the temperature dependence of the melting rate and consequently the derivation of the related kinetic parameters. Objective: The present study aims to explore the mechanism of the melting process of maleic anhydride in the framework of phase transition models. Taking this process as just another first-order phase transition, occurring through the formation of nuclei of new phase and their growth, particular focus is on the nucleation and growth models. Methods: Non-isothermal thermogravimetry, as well as differential scanning calorimetry studies, has been performed. Using isoconversional kinetic analysis, temperature dependence of the activation energy of melting has been obtained. Nucleation and growth models have been utilized to obtain the theoretical temperature dependencies for the activation energy of melting and these dependencies are then compared with the experimentally estimated ones. Conclusion: The thermogravimetry study indicates that melting is followed by concomitant evaporation, whereas the differential scanning calorimetry study shows that the two processes appear in two different temperature regions, and these differences observed may be due to the applied experimental conditions. From the statistical analysis, the growth model seems more suitable than the nucleation model for the interpretation of the melting mechanism of the maleic anhydride crystals.

The diffusion of fluorine in KSn2F5 has been studied by T1 and T2 relaxation time measurements of 19F NMR (200-500 K) and pulsed magnetic Field gradient tech­niques (390-480 K). Near 423 K a sharp transition into the superionic state has been found, the fluorine diffusion increasing by a factor of 4 within a range of 3 K. Conduc­tivity measurements only show a change in the activation energy.

The phase transformation kinetics of a face-centered-cubic (FCC) Al0.25CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy during isochronal heating is investigated by thermal dilation experiment. The phase transformed volume fraction is determined from the thermal expansion curve, and results show that the phase transition is controlled by diffusion controlled nucleation-growth mechanism. The kinetic parameters, activation energy and kinetic exponent are determined based on Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) and Johnson–Mehl–Avrami (JMA) method, respectively. The activation energy and kinetic exponent determined are almost constant, indicating a stable and slow speed of phase transition in the FCC Al0.25CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy. During the main transformation process, the kinetic exponent shows that the phase transition is diffusion controlled process without nucleation during the transformation.

We study the critical behavior of the Ising model on the local-world evolving network. Monte Carlo simulations with the standard Metropolis local update algorithms are performed extensively on the network with different parameters. Ising spins put onto network vertices exhibit an effective phase transition from ferromagnetism to paramagnetism upon heating. The critical temperature has been demonstrated to increase linearly with the average degree of the network as TC ~ 〈k〉. Simulation results on local-world evolving networks with various parameters show logarithmical relationships of the critical temperature with the size of the local world as TC ~ ln (ml), and with the size of the network as TC ~ ln (N), respectively. The latter is the generalization of the conclusion for the Ising model on the Barabási–Albert scale-free network, a limiting case of the local-world evolving network.

ABSTRACTMicroRaman measurements on titanium silicide films grown on single-crystal and polycrystalline silicon substrates doped with As, BF2 and P have been performed. The data collected on patterns of different areas and shapes, but comparable doping level show that the doping has negligible effects both on C54 nucleation center density and on activation energy for the C49/C54 phase transition. On the contrary, substrate strongly affects the C54 growth rate, ruling the ability of the C54 phase to propagate after the nucleation.

Equilibrium transport of atomic carbon between Rh surface and bulk has been studied. This transport controls the kinetics of the phase transition resulting in graphene growth or destruction. The difference ΔE=0.7 eV has been measured between the activation energy of atomic carbon dissolution E1s and that of its segregation from the bulk to the surface E1s. The temperature dependence of chemisorbed carbon critical cover Neq = Neq(T) has been measured, that is the cover when 2D phase transition takes place and graphene islands start to grow. E.g., Neq = 7.7•1014 cm-2 at T = 1800 K, and Neq = 3.1•1014 cm-2 at T = 1000 K.
