The proposed Pseudo-First-Order Phase Transition in a ferroelectric nanoparticle occurs at a temperature lower than its paraelectric/ferroelectric transition Curie temperature and is associated with an ultrahigh electrocaloric effect.

The specific heat, C p , has been measured with high precision in a mono-crystal of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ (YBCO) superconductor in the temperature range 55K-300K. The measurements provide data with a relative resolution Δ C p / C p of approximately 5 · 10−4. The main conclusions are: 1) Close to the superconducting transition the specific heat shows influence of fluctuations. 2) A reversible second order or weakly first order phase transition is found to occur at T o = 229 K .

Abstract We study the stochastic background of gravitational waves which accompany the sudden freeze-out of dark matter triggered by a cosmological first order phase transition that endows dark matter with mass. We consider models that produce the measured dark matter relic abundance via (1) bubble filtering, and (2) inflation and reheating, and show that gravitational waves from these mechanisms are detectable at future interferometers.
