      Article
      Open Access
      We use calorimetry to identify pressure-driven isothermal entropy changes in ceramic samples of the prototypical ferroelectric BaTiO3. Near the structural phase transitions at ~400 K (cubic-tetragonal) and ~280 K ...

    • Modelling magnetostructural textures in magnetic shape-memory alloys: Strain and magnetic glass behaviour 

      Lloveras Muntané, Pol Marcel; Touchagues, Gilles; Castán, Teresa; Lookman, Turab; Porta, Marcela; Saxena, Avadh; Planes Vila, Antoni (2014-10-01)
