Mn+1AXn-phase Ti2AlN thin-films were synthesized using reactive sputtering-based methods involving the deposition of single-layer TiAlN, and Ti/AlN and TiN/TiAl multilayers of various modulation periods at ambient temperature and subsequent annealing at elevated temperatures. Ex situ and in situ x-ray diffraction measurements were used to characterize the Ti2AlN formation temperature and phase fraction. During annealing, Ti/AlN multilayers yielded Ti2AlN at a significantly lower in situ temperature of 650 °C compared to TiN/TiAl multilayers or single-layer TiAlN (750 °C). The results suggest a reactive multilayer mechanism whereby distinct Ti and AlN layers react readily to release exothermic energy resulting in lower phase transition temperatures compared to TiN and TiAl layers or mixed TiAlN. With a modulation period of 5 nm, however, Ti/AlN multilayers yielded Ti2AlN at a higher temperature of 750 °C, indicating a disruption of the reactive multilayer mechanism due to a higher fraction of low-enthalpy interfacial TiAlN within the film.
采用基于反应溅射的方法合成了锰+1AXn 相 Ti2AlN 薄膜，包括在环境温度下沉积单层 TiAlN 以及不同调制周期的 Ti/AlN 和 TiN/TiAl 多层膜，然后在高温下退火。利用原位和原位 X 射线衍射测量来确定 Ti2AlN 的形成温度和相分数。在退火过程中，与 TiN/TiAl 多层膜或单层 TiAlN（750 ℃）相比，Ti/AlN 多层膜在 650 ℃ 的原位温度下生成了 Ti2AlN。结果表明了一种反应性多层机制，即不同的 Ti 和 AlN 层容易发生反应，释放放热能量，从而导致相变温度低于 TiN 和 TiAl 层或混合 TiAlN。然而，当调制周期为 5 nm 时，Ti/AlN 多层在 750 °C 的较高温度下产生了 Ti2AlN，这表明由于薄膜中低焓界面 TiAlN 的比例较高，反应性多层机制受到了破坏。

We present a simple implicit solution for the time-dependent trajectory of a thin Asay foil ejecta diagnostic for the general case where the impinging ejecta cloud is generated by a source function characterized by an arbitrary (sustained) time dependence and a time-independent (stationary) particle velocity distribution. In the limit that the source function time dependence becomes a delta function, this solution—which is amenable to rapid numerical calculations of arbitrary accuracy—exactly recovers a previously published solution for the special case of instantaneous ejecta production. We also derive simple expressions for the free-surface arrival (catch-up) time as well as the true ejecta areal mass accumulation on the accelerating foil and place bounds on the level of error incurred when applying instant-production mass solutions to a sustained-production trajectory. We demonstrate these solutions with example calculations for hypothetical source functions spanning a wide range of ejecta production durations, velocity distributions, and temporal behaviors. These calculations demonstrate how the foil trajectory is often insensitive to the temporal dependence of the source function, instead being dominated by the velocity distribution. We quantify this insensitivity using a “compatibility score” metric. Under certain conditions, one may capitalize upon this insensitivity to obtain a good approximation of the second integral of the velocity distribution from the observed foil trajectory.

Pressure-induced polymorphism has recently been demonstrated in several high entropy alloys. This offers a new window into the much-debated issue of phase selection and stability in these systems. Here, we examine the effect of cryogenic temperatures on the pressure-induced transition from face centered cubic to hexagonal close-packed structures of the prototype CoCrFeMnNi (Cantor) alloy. We observe a reduction in the critical pressure for the onset of the polymorphic transition as the temperature decreases, confirming the progressive stabilization of the hexagonal phase with decreasing temperature previously predicted by ab initio calculations accounting for magnetic interactions. We argue that in situ high-pressure experiments at cryogenic temperatures, which suppress time-dependent transformation triggered at higher temperatures, present a unique opportunity to significantly improve our understanding of these complex alloys.
最近在几种高熵合金中证实了压力诱导的多态性。这为研究这些系统中备受争议的相选择和稳定性问题提供了一个新的视角。在这里，我们研究了低温对钴铬铁镍（Cantor）合金原型从面心立方到六方紧密堆积结构的压力诱导转变的影响。我们观察到，随着温度的降低，多晶体转变开始的临界压力也随之降低，这证实了之前通过考虑磁相互作用的 ab initio 计算所预测的六方相随温度降低而逐渐稳定的现象。我们认为，低温下的原位高压实验抑制了在较高温度下引发的随时间变化的转变，为我们显著提高对这些复杂合金的认识提供了一个独特的机会。

Electrical properties of defects produced in strongly bismuth-doped silicon by 15 MeV protons are investigated in detail. Electrical measurements on irradiated samples by means of the van der Pauw technique are conducted over a wide temperature range of 20–300 K to furnish information on radiation-produced complexes. It is shown that the properties of the dominant bismuth-related defects are the same as earlier found in the electron-irradiated material. These complexes are tentatively identified as bismuth–vacancy pairs being deep donors. Their atomic configuration appears to be radically different from what is known about similar vacancy-related defects with other group-V impurities. These bismuth-related pairs are stable up to T ≈ 300 °C. Some special features of defect formation and annealing processes of radiation defects in bismuth-doped silicon subjected to electron and proton irradiation are discussed. This information may be of advantage in modeling impurity-related complexes containing oversized impurity atoms in silicon.

Physical processes involving hot electrons, including their generation, transport, injection, and relaxation, have been an extensive area of research. The most widely utilized method for actuating the creation of hot electrons involves the excitation of plasmonic modes followed by their non-radiative decay, channeling the energy into these energetic carriers. Since plasmonics has already evolved into a mature field of scientific exploration, active plasmonic devices serve as an ideal platform to study hot-electron physics. In this Perspective article, we will provide the reader with a comprehensive outline of the physics underlying hot-electron dynamics. Emphasis will be placed on the characteristic timescales involved with the lifecycle of hot electrons, the generation and decay mechanisms of surface plasmon-induced hot electrons, and the material platforms suitable for such a study. Then, we will move on to discuss different temperature models used to explain the evolution of hot electrons and the changes in the optical properties of the materials they are generated in or injected into. Finally, we will focus on some of the interesting optical phenomena occurring at ultrafast timescales mediated by hot-carrier dynamics. Such a discussion is expected to incorporate valuable insights into our understanding of the synergistic relationship between hot-electron dynamics and active plasmonics, thereby paving the way for novel applications involving optoelectronics and energy conversion.

Radio-frequency (RF) cavities, previously employed in particle physics, quantum computing, and gravitational wave research, offer unique advantages in terms of sensitivity and non-invasiveness as a method of sensing motion in both macroscopic and microscopic systems. This research aims to address how an RF cavity can effectively detect and characterize the low-frequency vibratory motion of a room-temperature mm-scale levitated particle. In this case, the particle in question is a diamagnetically levitated slab of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Cavity-based identification of the slab’s rigid-body modes is substantiated by calculations of the force acting on the particle and validated through slow-motion video object tracking. We find that this system can accurately measure oscillations in all six center-of-mass degrees of freedom. Calculations indicate that this system could potentially detect forces on the scale of tens of femto-Newtons and center of mass displacements of less than 10 nm. This work provides a non-invasive method of conducting position and vibration measurements in the field of levitodynamics without the ultra-cold temperatures or bulky precision laser setups that superconducting quantum interference devices and conventional interferometric methods utilize.

This article discusses the effect of polarization relaxation on dielectric breakdown. We establish analytical statistical Weibull distributions, taking into account the changing local electric field instead of the usual static field in acceleration models. The time dependence of the local field is expressed using the universal Curie–Von Schweidler law. The derived distribution fits well with various observations on time-to-breakdown statistical distributions. In the case of voltage square pulse alternative stress, the calculated time to breakdown follows a power law with stress frequency, regardless of the field dependence of the acceleration model, consistent with observations. The dielectric lifetime is longer compared to continuous voltage stress, as observed in transistors and integrated capacitors. The analytical expression of the power law exponent depends on the field acceleration model and polarization current. It matches well with the measured values for metal–oxide–semiconductor and metal insulator metal capacitors with different dielectrics. The power law exponent increases with the static dielectric constant. The Weibull shape factor is shown to be lower in the AC mode than in the DC mode, as observed. The AC signal duty factor effect decreases the lifetime in the AC mode. Finally, we demonstrate that the consequence of polarization relaxation also affects the lifetime in the DC mode. The acceleration factor and lifetime projections are close to power laws with the field, regardless of the static field dependence of the acceleration model.

Laser-driven shock compression enables an experimental study of phase transitions at unprecedented pressures and temperatures. One example is the shock Hugoniot of magnesium oxide (MgO), which crosses the B1–B2-liquid triple point at 400–600 GPa, 10 000–13 000 K (0.86–1.12 eV). MgO is a major component within the mantles of terrestrial planets and has long been a focus of high-pressure research. Here, we combine time-resolved velocimetry and pyrometry measurements with a decaying shock platform to obtain pressure–temperature data on MgO from 300 to 1500 GPa and 9000 to 50 000 K. Pressure–temperature–density Hugoniot data are reported at 1500 GPa. These data represent the near-instantaneous response of an MgO [100] single crystal to shock compression. We report on a prominent temperature anomaly between 400 and 460 GPa, in general agreement with previous shock studies, and draw comparison with equation-of-state models. We provide a detailed analysis of the decaying shock compression platform, including a treatment of a pressure-dependent optical depth near the shock front. We show that if the optical depth of the shocked material is larger than 1 μm, treating the shock front as an optically thick gray body will lead to a noticeable overestimation of the shock temperature.

This study proposes a simple yet effective dynamic method that can nondestructively evaluate the elastic properties of homogeneous isotropic solid materials. Like some dynamic methods, such as resonance ultrasound spectrometry and impulse excitation technique, the proposed method consists of two steps: experimentally acquiring the specimen's natural frequencies and numerically calculating the elastic properties. Compared with the existing methods, the proposed method has much lower requirements on all four aspects of experimental operations: specimen preparation, specimen positioning, vibration excitation, and vibration detection. An inverse method based on finite element modal analysis is proposed to calculate the specimen's elastic properties, and it can deliver optimal estimations with high precision and accuracy. The performance of the proposed method was assessed using the well-established sound speed-based dynamic method, i.e., ultrasound pulse-echo testing. Taking a square aluminum specimen as an example, the differences in the measurements of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio between these two methods are 2.25% and −2.07%, respectively; the differences in the measurements of shear modulus and bulk modulus are 0.01% and −1.46%, respectively. In summary, the proposed method provides a cheaper and experimentally simpler approach to determining the elastic properties of solid materials while maintaining accuracy and reliability similar to the established methods, which typically require sophisticated, costly equipment.

In approaches to analyze material composition or in processing tasks using ultra-short laser ablation, it is of particular interest how ablated materials are distributed across the solid angle in front of the interaction region. We found that with our sub-10-fs laser in the regime from 1014W/cm2 to 1017W/cm2, the solid angle of the ablation cone decreases significantly along with the laser intensity in a vacuum environment. For this observation, we used ion-beam analysis to investigate the distribution of tungsten collected on silicon catcher plates arranged across the solid angle of the laser-ablation cone. Moreover, we used other post-mortem tools, such as scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy, to determine the ablation threshold of Fth=468mJ/cm2 of our tungsten samples. Here, clearly, two laser intensity-dependent ablation regimes can be observed in the detection of a crater depth and a ablation cone angle.

We found that with our sub-10-fs laser in the regime from 1014W/cm2 to 1017W/cm2, the solid angle of the ablation cone decreases significantly along with the laser intensity in a vacuum environment. For this observation, we used ion-beam analysis to investigate the distribution of tungsten collected on silicon catcher plates arranged across the solid angle of the laser-ablation cone.
