Unlike batteries or capacitors, phase change materials don’t store energy as electricity, but heat. This is done by using the unique physical properties of phase changes – in the case of a ...

The systematic development of phase-change materials has been hampered by experimental ... differences in the structure and hence in the properties of the crystalline and amorphous states of ...

ZnTe(en)0.5, shows significant structural changes under low pressure, enhancing prospects for phase change memory.

Published in Advanced Science, this study demonstrates that the properties ... as water changes its state into ice or vapor depending on temperature, this material features a phase transition ...

Scientists at the Max Planck POSTECH Center for Complex Phase Materials investigate precisely these materials. These compounds often exhibit different properties if researchers change the temperature, ...

Phase transitions are changes in the state of a material ... a technique that uses microwaves to study the internal properties and behavior of a material. The spectroscopy helped them accurately ...
