• Acoustic emission avalanches during compression of granular manganites 

      Soto-Parra, Daniel Enrique; Vives, Eduard; Botello Zubiate, Maria Eugenia; Matutes Aquino, José Andrés; Planes, Antoni (American Institute of Physics, 2018)
      "We have studied acoustic emission (AE) during compression of La0.8Ca0.28Sr0.08MnO2.7 manganites with different microstructures obtained by selected synthesis techniques. In ceramic samples with large grains obtained by a ...
    • Elastocaloric effect in Ti-Ni shape-memory wires associated with the B2 ↔ B19' and B2 ↔ R structural transitions 

      Soto-Parra, Daniel Enrique; Vives, Eduard; Mañosa, Lluis; Matutes Aquino, José Andrés; Flores Zúñiga, Horacio; Planes, Antoni (2016-02)
      "We have studied the elastocaloric properties of Ti-Ni shape-memory wires subjected to specific heat treatments to decouple the B2 <-> R transition from the B2 <-> B19' one. The entropy values at moderate stresses (similar ...
    • Statistical similarity between the compression of a porous material and earthquakes 

      Baró, Jordi; Corral, Alvaro; Illa, Xavier; Planes, Antoni; Salje, Ekhard K. H.; Schranz, Wilfried; Soto-Parra, Daniel Enrique; Vives, Eduard (2013-02)
      "It has long been stated that there are profound analogies between fracture experiments and earthquakes; however, few works attempt a complete characterization of the parallels between these so separate phenomena. We study ...
