A trigonal–tetragonal phase transition in SrMn2P2is proposed and confirmed experimentally under high pressure. At ambient pressure, SrMn2P2crystallizes in the primitive trigonal La2O3structure type (space groupP3̄m1) in blue. Under high pressure, the tetragonal ThCr2Si2structure type (space groupI4/mmm) in red is more stable.

The electronic and the superconducting properties of Pd were studied in the framework of density functional perturbation theory. We explored the superconducting transition temperature for bulk Pd and predicted possible superconductivity at ambient and high pressures. It is found that of Pd is 0.0356 K at ambient pressure and it decreases with pressure.

We report the coexistence of ferromagnetic order and superconductivity in UCoGe at ambient pressure. The data obtained from the basic thermal, magnetic and transport properties on the macro and microscopic scale show that UCoGe is a weak ferromagnet with a Curie temperature TC = 3 K, and also, is a superconductor with a resistive transition temperature Ts = 0.8 K. Those present evidence that UCoGe is an unconventional superconductor and argue that superconductivity is mediated by critical ferromagnetic spin fluctuations.

ABSTRACTAs a pure element, bismuth is a semimetal which possesses several interesting physical properties, not all of them well understood. The recent discovery of superconductivity, as predicted by our group, and the increasing superconducting transition temperature as the pressure applied increases, are some examples of its particularities. Also, the fact that the amorphous phase is superconductive with a transition temperature several orders of magnitude larger than the crystalline at ambient pressure is unusual. These phenomena have also motivated our predictions for the transition temperatures of Bi-bilayers and the Bi-IV phase. When mixed with other elements, bismuth seems to contribute to the superconducting character of the resulting material. Here we study the binary copper-bismuth amorphous system which is known to superconduct in diverse compositions. Using ab initio molecular dynamics and the undermelt-quench method, we generate an amorphous structure for a 144-atom supercell corresponding to the Cu61Bi39 system. We calculate the electronic and vibrational densities of states for the amorphous system and estimate a superconducting critical temperature of 4.2 K for the amorphous state.

ABSTRACTThe phase composition of Y-TZP surfaces has been shown to vary greatly depending on the thermo-mechanical history of the surface. The orientation of these different phases in the surface region is not always random. There is speculation that the alignment of the tetragonal phase before fracturing may play a part in increasing the toughness of these materials. This article deals with an X-ray diffraction analysis of various Y-TZP surfaces with special emphasis on the texture of the different phases. Surfaces which have been ground (and polished), fractured, and aged (200°C) have been examined. In all cases, the monoclinic component that was formed was strongly oriented. The tetragonal phase may or may not be oriented depending on surface treatment. Annealing above the monoclinic-tetragonal transition temperature had little effect on the tetragonal orientation in most cases. Samples fractured at 1000°C have no unusual orientation on the fracture faces.
