Colossal Elastocaloric Effect in Ferroelastic Ni-Mn-Ti Alloys

Daoyong Cong, Wenxin Xiong, Antoni Planes, Yang Ren, Lluís Mañosa, Peiyu Cao, Zhihua Nie, Xiaoming Sun, Zhi Yang, Xiufeng Hong, and Yandong Wang

Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 255703 (2019) - Published 26 June, 2019

A newly designed alloy exhibits a “colossal” elastocaloric effect—a temperature change under strain—making it a good candidate for an environmentally friendly type of cooling.

FEATURED IN PHYSICS

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Modulating the Electrical Transport in the Two-Dimensional Electron Gas at ${LaAlO}_{3} / {SrTiO}_{3}$ Heterostructures by Interfacial Flexoelectricity

Fan Zhang, Peng Lv, Yiteng Zhang, Shujin Huang, Chi-Man Wong, Hei-Man Yau, Xinxin Chen, Zheng Wen, Xiaoning Jiang, Changgan Zeng, Jiawang Hong, and Ji-yan Dai

Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 257601 (2019) - Published 26 June, 2019

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Sub-ballistic Growth of Rényi Entropies due to Diffusion

Tibor Rakovszky, Frank Pollmann, and C. W. von Keyserlingk

Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 250602 (2019) - Published 25 June, 2019

Higher order Rényi entropies are sensitive to physics not captured by the von Neumann entropy, in particular they work for systems with locally conserved quantities that diffuse as a consequence of quantum fluctuations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Observation of Interference between Resonant and Detuned stirap in the Adiabatic Creation of ${}^{23}{Na} {}^{40}K$ Molecules

Lan Liu, De-Chao Zhang, Huan Yang, Ya-Xiong Liu, Jue Nan, Jun Rui, Bo Zhao, and Jian-Wei Pan

Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 253201 (2019) - Published 25 June, 2019

New measurements of resonant and detuned STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passage) in the creation of ground-state molecules reveal that contribution from detuned STIRAP to the resonant case leads to a quantum interference effect between different passage paths which cannot be neglected.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Rejuvenation and Memory Effects in a Structural Glass

Camille Scalliet and Ludovic Berthier

Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 255502 (2019) - Published 28 June, 2019

A structural glass experiences rejuvenation and memory effects when the temperature is cycled, analogous to what is already known for spin glasses, emphasizing the link between mean field models of these two types of glasses.
