This broad field encompasses multiple phenomena and different operational principles, which have been cleverly used for demonstrating technological advantages.  However, the underlying physics of some phase-change materials is yet to be fully understood, casting a shadow on the full potential of devices/systems relying on phase-change materials.  This Special Topic welcomes contributions that demonstrate the integration of phase-change materials into sensors and actuators that exploit their multifunctionality, and fundamental studies that help understand them. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: • Theory, modeling and simulation of solid-to-solid phase transitions • Phase-change materials in THz devices/systems • Vanadium oxides • Implementation of phase-change materials in memory devices and systems • Advances in thermal energy and storage • Integration of phase-change materials in energy efficient buildings and smart textiles • Dielectrics, Ferroelectrics, and multiferroics • Applications and integration of solid-liquid phase transitions • Thin films, interfaces, and surfaces Guest Editors Nelson Sepulveda, Michigan State University Yunqi Cao, Zhejiang University JAP Editor Pawel Keblinski Submission Deadline: May 31, 2024 LEARN MORE > Tell Us What You Think!
