ABSTRACT The precipitation of carbide at the grain boundary is one of the key factors that influences the resistance of intergranular corrosion. The morphology and growth mechanism of the carbides precipitated at different grain boundaries in Alloy 600 aged at 715°C for different times were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Two types of carbides, M23C6 and M7C3, can be observed in the sample. The grain boundary character significantly affects the precipitation and distribution of different carbides. The face-centred cubic structured fine M23C6 has a semi-coherent orientation relationship with the matrix, and mainly precipitates at Σ3 grain boundary in all the samples, and at Σ9 grain boundary in the short-term aged samples. The large M7C3 has a hexagonal crystal structure, which does not have typical orientation relationship with the matrix, and precipitates at Σ9 grain boundary in the long-term aged samples, and at Σ27 grain boundary and random grain boundary in all the samples.

ABSTRACT We report the influences of oxygen interstitials and magnetisms on phase stability and structural transformation of CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) from first-principles calculations. It is found the formation of oxygen interstitials is energetically favourable to occur in face-centred cubic (FCC) CoCrFeNiOx HEA as compared with that in hexagonal close-packed (HCP) one, and at those octahedral sites neighbouring with more Cr or less Ni. Meanwhile, it is determined the HEA prefers FCC over HCP phases when the oxygen concentration exceeds 4.2 and 5.1 at.% with and without considering its magnetisms, respectively. The HCP-to-FCC structural transformation in CoCrFeNiOx HEA could be magnetically driven, accompanied by the significant changes in the atomic magnetic moments in the HEA, particularly with an oxygen interstitial concentration larger than 2.7 at.%. Furthermore, the HCP-to-FCC transformation under hydrostatic pressure in CoCrFeNi and CoCrFeNiOx HEAs is investigated from generalised stacking fault energies, and it is revealed that the synergy effects of oxygen interstitials and magnetisms could facilitate the transformation in CoCrFeNiOx HEA. The coupled interstitials-induced and magnetically driven structural transformation paves a new avenue for the application of HEAs.

ABSTRACTThe classical description of the elastic field of an edge dislocation is modified by the addition of a line force to the Burgers vector. Also, partitioning of displacements is imposed, consistent with the topological theory of defects at interfaces, agreeing with symmetry requirements as are inherent in nonlinear or atomistic calculations.

ABSTRACTThis work presents a numerical study on the electronic and optical properties of modified Möbius squared potential well in the presence of static electric and magnetic fields. The potential well is formed within GaAs/AlGaAs hetero structures. Schrödinger’s equation is solved within the framework of effective mass and envelope wave function approximations to get the wave functions and their corresponding energies of states. The optical absorption coefficients and relative refractive index changes are calculated via the expressions derived from the compact density matrix approach. The numerical results present strong blue shifts on the optical responses of modified Möbius squared potential well when the external electromagnetic fields are strengthening.KEYWORDS: Möbius quantum welloptical absorptionrefractive index changeselectric and magnetic fields Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementNo data associated in the manuscript.

ABSTRACTThe formation of an amorphous gold-silicon alloy by indentation is reported. A polycrystalline gold film formed via vapour deposition on a silicon (111) substrate was indented using a Berkovich indenter with a load of 0.05 N. The indentation area was observed by transmission electron microscopy after thinning the silicon substrate from the back side (unindented surface). A set of halo rings, identified as an amorphous gold-silicon alloy was observed. A gold film on a SiO2 substrate was also used to investigate the effect of the substrate, and no amorphization was observed. The amorphization mechanism is discussed based on thermodynamics.KEYWORDS: Indentationamorphous silicontransmission electron microscopy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTTo design nanosensors based on localised surface plasmon (LSP), a structure is considered consisting of metal nanoparticles and study the influence of nanoparticles size, material, geometry, and background refractive index (RI) on its performance. We propose a nanosensor based on nanoplasmonic and investigate its sensitivity. The boundary element method is employed to calculate the extinction cross-section and sensitivity of the proposed sensor. We study the effect of various parameters on LSP resonance. Our calculations about extinction, scattering, and absorption spectra have been compared with experimental data. According to the comparison, it is deduced the boundary element method provides acceptable results. It is shown that the proposed nanosensor is very sensitive to the variation of sample RI. Moreover, it is possible to adjust the required spectral range by changing the geometry and material of nanoparticles. Here, the highest sensitivity is obtained for cubic nanoparticles made of silver.KEYWORDS: Nanosensorboundary element methodplasmonic Data availability statementThe data that supports the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe authors declare that no funds, grants, or other support were received during the preparation of this manuscript.

ABSTRACT Machine-learning-based computational methods for structural analysis have been proposed to study colloidal systems. However, most of these methods are based on supervised learning, which suffers from the fundamental difficulty that neural networks cannot correctly discriminate a system that has not been learned in advance. To solve this problem, an anomaly detection method that uses an autoencoder (AE) to distinguish systems with unknown structures was developed. The performance of an AE and a convolutional AE was evaluated, and the properties exhibited by the trained and untrained images in the latent space of the AE with dimensionality reduction were clarified.

ABSTRACT Within the effective mass approximation framework, the electronic and optical properties of GaAs-based two-dimensional eccentric quantum rings subjected to a transverse magnetic field with an inclination θ-angle to the x-axis are investigated using a two-dimensional diagonalisation method. The results show that the electron energy spectra in concentric quantum rings reveal transparency to the action of magnetic field orientation, contrary to their optical properties, which turn out to be anisotropic with this later. In addition, the eccentricity preserves the absorption coefficient spectra for y-polarisation for all orientations of the magnetic field qualitatively, while those of x-polarisation are significantly modified by eccentricity and magnetic field. Specific peak transitions occurring at specific magnetic field values and θ-angle can be used as a signature of magnetic field orientation and eccentricity.

ABSTRACT The initial structural transformation of Mg-Sm binary alloys on early isothermal aging is investigated by first-principles calculations. There are three typical precipitate structures in this period, namely hexagonal structure, continuous zigzag structure, and discontinuous zigzag structure (˅˄ structure), which are the main transition state structures formed. The formation of clusters is a dynamic process needing to combine vacancy formation and migrations. Among these structures, the lower vacancy formation energy and dilute mixing energy (byproducts of the solute-vacancy binding energy calculation) make hexagonal clusters more possible to form and explain experimental observation of hexagonal structure abundant existing in the matrix, although its formation energy is slightly higher. Furthermore, vacancy-assisted diffusion in doped Mg lattices is calculated using the nudge elastic band method to investigate the kinetics of the cluster formation.

ABSTRACT For the first time, a composite based on a ferroelectric metal-organic framework of [NH4][Zn(HCOO)3] combined with nanocellulose at different cellulose concentrations from 0 to 75 wt% was synthesised to investigate the changes over time in phase transition and ferroelectric switching. A comparative study for fresh samples and the samples after 288 h was conducted. Electrophysical parameters were measured in a temperature range of 140 to 245 K under a weak electric field with an amplitude of 2 V.cm−1 at a frequency of 1 kHz. The results indicated that the increase in cellulose content led to increasing the phase transition temperature from 190.1 to 238.5 K. Besides, the coercive field was also found to increase from 3.78 to 14.12 kV.cm−1 along with the reduction of dielectric permittivity and maximum polarisation. After 288 h, this phase transition decreased significantly over time even to 231.6 K in the case of highest cellulose content (75 wt%). Meanwhile, the coercive field was found to decrease from 14.12 to 10.57 kV.cm−1. Remarkable changes were detected for samples with cellulose content of higher 25 wt%. The weaker interaction between ferroelectric part and cellulose over time due to the softness of cellulose was responsible for the obtained phenomena.
