The impact of metastability on the high-pressure behavior of cerium

Nature Communications
The structures adopted by solids under pressure are often assumed to reflect thermodynamic equilibrium, yet in many materials phase selection is strongly influenced by kinetic pathways and microstructural inheritance.

Constraining effects on polymer chain relaxation in crosslinked supramolecular dual networks

Frontiers in Soft Matter, 2023
Polymer networks containing transient physical and permanent chemical cross-links exhibit unique mechanical properties due to the intrinsic reassociating ability of supramolecular functional groups.

Atomistic Mechanisms Triggered by Joule Heating Effects in Metallic Cu‐Bi Nanowires for Spintronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bi doped metallic Cu nanowires are promising for spintronics thanks to the stabilization of a giant spin Hall effect. However, heat resulting from current injection forces Bi to leave solution, forcing segregation into monoatomic decorations which evolve into coherent crystalline aggregates.

Generating Unconventional Spin‐Orbit Torques With Patterned Phase Gradients in Tungsten Thin Films

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A key aim in spintronics is to achieve current‐induced magnetization switching via spin‐orbit torques without external magnetic fields. For this, the focus of recent work has been on introducing controlled lateral gradients across ferromagnet/heavy‐metal devices, giving variations in thickness, composition, or interface quality.

Morphology of block copolymers from neutron scattering [PDF]

, 1992
Block copolymers are widely used commercially and so a complete understanding of these systems requires that the nature of the polymer interface, the effect of deformation and the interaction between polymer substituents are known. Triblock copolymers of

Neutron Scattering in Australia

Neutron News, 1996
Neutron scattering techniques have been part of the Australian scientific research community for the past three decades. The High Flux Australian Reactor (HIFAR) is a multi-use facility of modest performance that provides the only neutron source in the country suitable for neutron scattering. The limitations of HIFAR have been recognized and recently a
