Multifunctional oxides are promising materials because of their fundamental physical properties as well as their potential in applications. Among these materials, multiferroics exhibiting ferroelectricity and magnetism are good candidates for spin electronic applications using the magnetoelectric effect, which couples magnetism and ferroelectricity. Furthermore, because ferroelectrics are insul...

impact responses of rectangular composite plates with embedded shape memory alloy (sma) wires are investigated in the present research. the plate is assumed to be placed in a thermal environment; so that in contrast to the available researches in the field, the shape memory and ferroelasticity effects have to be considered also in addition to the superelasticity. the governing equations are der...

Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides can exist in several structural polymorphs, including 2H, 1T and 1T'. The low-symmetry 1T' phase has three orientation variants, resulting from the three equivalent directions of Peierls distortion in the parental 1T phase. Using first-principles calculations, we predict that mechanical strain can switch the relative thermodynamic stability between...

Intrinsic triferroicity is essential and highly sought for novel device applications, such as high-density multistate data storage. So far, the intrinsic has only been discussed in three-dimensional systems. Herein on basis of first principles, we report a two-dimensional lattice. Being exfoliatable from layered bulk, single-layer $\mathrm{Fe}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}\mathrm{H}$ shown to be an intrinsic...
