Magnesium alloys are high potential materials for application in the aerospace and automotive industries due to their lightweight properties. They can help to lower dead weight and fuel consumption to contribute to sustainability and efficiency. It is possible to achieve high specific strength and high stiffness of the alloys by varying compositions of alloying elements. Applications of magnesium are limited due to its low strength and relatively low stiffness. This research focuses on a recipe of multi component alloys of magnesium with varied percentages of Mg, Al, Cu, Mn and Zn obtained from literature and optimizes the percentage compositions to obtain for high specific strength and specific stiffness. Relationships among percentage constituents of the alloy components are examined in Matlab R2022b using multiple linear regression. Optimization is achieved using genetic algorithm to determine the specific strengths and stiffness. The resulting optimal alloy component percentages by weight are used for microstructure simulation of thermodynamic properties, diffusion and phase transformations of proposed alloy is done in MatCalc software version 6.04. Results show potential for improved mechanical properties resulting from disordered structure in the high entropy magnesium alloy. Future research should focus on production and characterization of the proposed alloy.

Pure and zinc-doped tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method. The structural studies were carried out by X-Ray Diffraction pattern. XRD pattern reveals the tetragonal rutile structure of tin oxide nanoparticles. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy studies were used to identify the chemical information of pure and zinc-doped tin oxide nanoparticles. The crystallite size of pure tin oxide nanoparticles is 9 nm obtained from the X-ray diffraction pattern. The Zn ions are incorporated into the tin ions. It is suitable candidate for gas sensor applications.
