The ordered phase of the FeNi system is known for its promising magnetic properties that make it a first-class rare-earth free permanent magnet. Mapping out the parameter space controlling the order-disorder transformation is an important step towards finding growth conditions that stabilize the [Formula: see text] phase of FeNi. In this work, we study the magnetic properties and chemical order-disorder transformation in FeNi as a function of lattice expansion by utilizing ab initio alloy theory. The largest volume expansion considered here is 29% which corresponds to a pressure of [Formula: see text] GPa. The thermodynamic and magnetic calculations are formulated in terms of a long-range order parameter, which is subsequently used to find the ordering temperature as a function of pressure. We show that negative pressure promotes ordering, meaning that synthetic routes involving an increase of the volume of FeNi are expected to expand the stability field of the [Formula: see text] phase.

Controlling polymorphism, namely, the occurrence of multiple crystal forms for a given compound, is still an open technological challenge that needs to be addressed for the reliable manufacturing of crystalline functional materials. Here, we devised a series of 13 organic crystals engineered to embody molecular fragments undergoing specific nanoscale motion anticipated to drive cooperative order-disorder phase transitions. By combining polarized optical microscopy coupled with a heating/cooling stage, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, low-frequency Raman spectroscopy, and calculations (density functional theory and molecular dynamics), we proved the occurrence of cooperative transitions in all the crystalline systems, and we demonstrated how both the molecular structure and lattice dynamics play crucial roles in these peculiar solid-to-solid transformations.

It is generally believed that ice crystal-to-crystal transitions do not occur below the glass-transition temperature. For instance, under compression, ice I becomes a metastable state but does not transform into other high-pressure ice crystals, and applying excessive pressure ends up causing its collapse into high-density amorphous ice (HDA). Here, we perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to demonstrate that a hydrogen-ordered form of cubic ice (ice Ic) transforms to a hydrogen-ordered form of ice IV without yielding HDA.

Transition metal oxides are widely employed as electrode materials in Li-ion batteries. During battery operation, Li ions are intercalated and extracted from the framework of the electrode structure, causing structural transitions. In some materials, the process can drive order-disorder transitions; however, insights into such processes are generally lacking, although they are essential for our understanding of battery aging and in the design of new sustainable battery chemistries.

Recently, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites exhibiting facile structural phase transitions have accumulated significant attention due to their switchable second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, which hold significant promise for next-generation intelligent optoelectronic devices. In this study, we present a novel one-dimensional hexagonal hybrid perovskite, (4-methoxypiperidinium)CdCl, which undergoes a reversible high-temperature structural phase transition at 389 K. Notably, (4-methoxypiperidinium)CdCl demonstrates switchable second-order NLO and dielectric properties, accompanied by symmetry breaking from the centrosymmetric to noncentrosymmetric 2 space group.

Form III of linezolid was prepared by heating the commercial form above 150 °C and subsequently analyzed upon cooling down to -160 °C, by low- and high-frequency Raman spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). It was observed that form III was preserved down to 0 °C. At lower temperatures a soft mode was clearly detected by low-frequency Raman spectroscopy associated with the detection of additional Raman bands distinctive of additional intermolecular H-bond interactions.
