AbstractSingle crystals and bicrystals of water ice have been adiabatically pressurized to produce, and clearly illustrate, two types of internal melt figures: (1) dendritic figures that grow from nucleation imperfections on the specimen’s surface, or from air bubbles at grain boundaries, into the ice as pressure is elevated; and (2) compression melt fractures, flat liquid-filled disks, that nucleate at imperfections in the crystal and grow with the application of pressure eventually to sprout dendritic fingers at the periphery. The transparency of the ice permitted visualization of the growth and behavior of the figures, and this could be an important tool in understanding the role of phase transformations in deep-focus earthquakes. Correlation between figure size and pressure is noted for the first time.

(Pb,La)(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 single crystals are grown via the flux method. The structural phase transition, thermal–electrical energy harvesting and electrocaloric properties of the PLZST crystals with [100], [110], and [111] crystallographic directions are studied systematically.

Ferroelectric materials exhibit spontaneous polarization and domain structures below the Curie temperature. In this work the phase field approach has been used to simulate phase transformations and the formation of ferroelectric domain structures. The evolution of phases and domain structures was simulated in ferroelectric single crystals by solving the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation with polarization as the order parameter. In the TDGL equation the free energy of a ferroelectric crystal is written as a function of polarization and applied fields. Change of temperature as well as application of stress and electric fields leads to change of the free energy and evolution of phase states and domain structures. In this work the finite difference method was implemented for the spatial description of the polarization and the temporal evolution of polarization field was computed by solving the TDGL equation with an explicit time integration scheme. Cubic to tetragonal, cubic to rhombohedral and rhombohedral to tetragonal phase transformations were modeled, and the formation of domain structures was simulated. Field induced polarization switching and rhombohedral to tetragonal phase transition were simulated.
