Coarsening kinetics is usually described using a linear gradient approximation for the underlying interface migration (IM) rates, wherein the migration fluxes at the interfaces vary linearly with the driving force. Recent experimental studies have shown that coarsening of nanocrystalline interface microstructures is unexpectedly stable compared to conventional parabolic coarsening kinetics. Here, we show that during early stage coarsening of these microstructures, IM rates can develop a non-linear dependence on the driving force, the mean interface curvature. We derive the modified mean field law for coarsening kinetics. Molecular dynamics simulations of individual grain boundaries reveal a sub-linear curvature dependence of IM rates, suggesting an intrinsic origin for the slow coarsening kinetics observed in polycrystalline metals.

Using in-situ synchrotron tomography, we investigate the coarsening dynamics of barium borosilicate melts during phase separation. The 3-D geometry of the two interconnected phases is determined thanks to image processing. We observe a linear growth
of the size of domains with time, at odds with the sublinear diffusive growth usually observed in phase-separating glasses or alloys. Such linear coarsening is attributed to viscous flow inside the bicontinuous phases, and quantitative measurements show that the growth rate is well explained by the ratio of surface tension over viscosity. The geometry of the domains is shown to be statistically similar at different times, provided that the microstructure is rescaled by the average domain size. Complementary experiments on melts with a droplet morphology demonstrate that viscous flow prevails over diffusion in the large range of domain sizes measured in our experiments (1 - 80 microns).
This article reviews static and dynamic interfacial effects in magnetism, focusing on interfacially-driven magnetic effects and phenomena associated with spin-orbit coupling and intrinsic symmetry breaking at interfaces. It provides a historical back
ground and literature survey, but focuses on recent progress, identifying the most exciting new scientific results and pointing to promising future research directions. It starts with an introduction and overview of how basic magnetic properties are affected by interfaces, then turns to a discussion of charge and spin transport through and near interfaces and how these can be used to control the properties of the magnetic layer. Important concepts include spin accumulation, spin currents, spin transfer torque, and spin pumping. An overview is provided to the current state of knowledge and existing review literature on interfacial effects such as exchange bias, exchange spring magnets, spin Hall effect, oxide heterostructures, and topological insulators. The article highlights recent discoveries of interface-induced magnetism and non-collinear spin textures, non-linear dynamics including spin torque transfer and magnetization reversal induced by interfaces, and interfacial effects in ultrafast magnetization processes.
The processability and optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductors can be tuned and manipulated via chemical design. The substitution of the alkyl side chains by oligoethers has recently been successful for applications such as bioelectronic
sensors and photocatalytic water-splitting. The carbon-oxygen bond in oligoethers is likely to render the system softer and more prone to dynamical disorder that can be detrimental to charge transport for example. We use neutron spectroscopy, X-Ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy to study the effect of the substitution of n-hexyl (Hex) by triethylene glycol (TEG) on the structural dynamics of two organic semiconductors: a phenylene-bithiophene-phenylene (PTTP) molecule and a fluorene-co-dibenzothiophene (FS) polymer. Counterintuitively, inelastic neutron scattering (INS) reveals a softening of the modes of PTTP and FS with Hex side chains, pointing towards an increased dynamical disorder in these systems. However, T-dependent X-Ray and neutron diffraction, INS and DSC evidence an extra reversible transition close to room temperature (RT) for PTTP with TEG side chains. The observed transition, not accompanied by a change in birefringence, can also be observed by quasi-elastic neutron scattering. A fastening of the TEG side chains dynamics is observed in the case of PTTP and not FS. We therefore assign this transition to the melt of the TEG side chains which are promoting dynamical order at RT, but if crystallising, may introduce an extra reversible structural transition above RT leading to thermal instabilities. A deeper understanding of side chain polarity and structural dynamics can help guide materials design and navigate the intricate balance between electronic charge transport and aqueous swelling, sought for a number of emerging organic electronic and bioelectronic applications.
We investigated domain kinetics by measuring the polarization switching behaviors of polycrystalline Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_{3}$ films, which are widely used in ferroelectric memory devices. Their switching behaviors at various electric fields and temperatures
could be explained by assuming the Lorentzian distribution of domain switching times. We viewed the switching process under an electric field as a motion of the ferroelectric domain through a random medium, and we showed that the local field variation due to dipole defects at domain pinning sites could explain the intriguing distribution.
