We use time-resolved optical reflectivity to study the laser stimulated dynamics in the magnetic shape memory alloy Ni_2MnGa. We observe two coherent optical phonons, at 1.2 THz in the martensite phase and at 0.7 THz in the pre-martensite phase, which we interpret as a zone-folded acoustic phonon and a heavily damped amplitudon respectively. In the martensite phase the martensitic phase transition can be induced by a fs laser pulse on a timescale of a few ps.

We show that a quantum phase transition can occur in a phonon system in the presence of dislocations. Due to the competing nature between the topological protection of the dislocation and anharmonicity, phonons can reach a quantum critical point at a frequency determined by dislocation density and the anharmonic constant, at zero temperature. In the symmetry-broken phase, a novel phonon state is developed with a dynamically-induced dipole field. We carry out a renormalization group analysis and show that the phonon critical behavior differs wildly from any electronic system. In particular, at the critical point, a single phonon mode dominates the density of states and develops an exotic logarithmic divergence in thermal conductivity. This phonon quantum criticality provides a completely new avenue to tailor phonon transport at the single-mode level without using phononic crystals.

A phenomenological 2D model, simulating the martensitic transformation, is built upon existing experimental observations that the size of the formed plates -in direct transformation- decreases as the temperature is lowered; then they transform back i n reversed order. As such, if a reverse transformation is incomplete (arrested), the subsequent direct one will show anomalously large number of big size plates-old plus newly formed- but consequentially a depletion of intermediate sizes, due to geometrical constraints, phenomenon that generates thermal memory.
Using a double-pump pulse approach and laser-induced THz emission as an ultrafast amperemeter and magnetometer, we show that a femtosecond laser pulse generates ferromagnetic nuclei in a FeRh/Pt bilayer, i.e. these nuclei acquire a net magnetization and a susceptibility to a magnetic field, but only 20 ps after the initial laser excitation. We argue that this latency is intrinsic to the first-order phase transitions from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic states and must be present even in the case when the sign of the exchange interaction changes instantaneously.
We describe a novel approach for the rational design and synthesis of self-assembled periodic nanostructures using martensitic phase transformations. We demonstrate this approach in a thin film of perovskite SrSnO3 with reconfigurable periodic nanost ructures consisting of regularly spaced regions of sharply contrasted dielectric properties. The films can be designed to have different periodicities and relative phase fractions via chemical doping or strain engineering. The dielectric contrast within a single film can be tuned using temperature and laser wavelength, effectively creating a variable photonic crystal. Our results show the realistic possibility of designing large-area self-assembled periodic structures using martensitic phase transformations with the potential of implementing built-to-order nanostructures for tailored optoelectronic functionalities.
Jerky elasticity was observed by dynamical mechanical analyzer measurements in a single crystal of the shape memory alloy Cu74.08Al23.13Be2.79. Jerks appear as spikes in the dissipation of the elastic response function and relate to the formation of avalanches during the transformation between the austenite and the martensite phase. The statistics of the avalanches follows the predictions of avalanche criticality P(E) proportional to E-epsilon where P(E) is the probability of finding an avalanche with the energy E. This result reproduces, within experimental uncertainties, previous findings by acoustic emission techniques.
