Editors Choice on Physical Review Materials

Our recent paper on front line dynamics of ferroelastic domain walls has been selected as editors suggestion on Physical Review Materials.

In our recent paper we study the dynamics of segmental front lines that are pinned on statistically distributed defects. The pinning-depinning transition is a dynamic phase transition, which occurs via avalanches of domain wall segments. The corresponding properties (distribution of waiting times, power-law exponents, etc.) are measured in the time and frequency domain.
