Classical invariants, despite most of them having unclear physical interpretation and not having experimental advantages, have been extensively used in modeling nonlinear magneto-elastic materials. In this paper, a new set ...

We present results of ultrasonic measurements on a single crystal of the distorted diamond-chain compound azurite Cu-3(CO3)(2)(OH)(2). Pronounced elastic anomalies are observed in the temperature dependence of the longitudinal ...

Time-reversal symmetry and magnetoelastic correlations are probed by means of high-resolution volume dilatometry in URu 2 Si 2 at cryogenic temperatures, and magnetic fields sufficient to suppress the hidden order state ...

Mechanical stress due to a misfit between a thin film and its substrate induces strains which can strongly modify the unstrained thin film properties. One good and interesting example to study strain effects is given by ...
