Phase-Specific Damage Tolerance of a Eutectic High Entropy Alloy

Description: Article describes how phase-specific damage tolerance was investigated for the AlCoCrFeNi2.1 high entropy alloy with a lamellar microstructure of L12 and B2 phases. Distinct differences in micro-scale deformation mechanisms were reflected in post-compression fractography, with L12-phase cantilevers showing typical characteristics of ductile failure, including the activation of multiple slip lanes, shear lips at the notch edge, and tearing inside the notch versus quasi-cleavage fracture with cle… more

A pseudo thermo-mechanical model linking process parameters to microstructural evolution in multilayer additive friction stir deposition of magnesium alloy

Description: Article describes how additive friction stir deposition has been proposed as a disruptive manufacturing process; involving complex thermo-mechanical mechanisms during multilayer material deposition. The primary motivation for development of the model was to seek an understanding of thermo-mechanical mechanisms and their impact on microstructural evolution during additive friction stir deposition.

Stability and degradation in triple cation and methyl ammonium lead iodide perovskite solar cells mediated via Au and Ag electrodes

Description: Article focuses on the fact that there are no clear mechanisms for the interaction of electrode-induced absorber degradation pathways. Furthermore, the authors hypothesize that the formation of AgI in the PSCs, leads to corrosion of the perovskite absorber, as opposed to the benign AuI when Au electrodes are used in the solar cell stack.

Plexcitonic interactions in spherical and bi-pyramidical Au nanoparticles with monolayer WSe₂

Description: Article describes how plasmons associated with zero-dimensional (0D) metal nanoparticles and their synergistic interactions with excitons in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors offer opportunities for remarkable spectral tunability not otherwise evident in the pristine parent materials, which necessitates an in-depth study elucidating the nature of the plasmonic and excitonic interactions, jointly referred to as plexcitons in order to understand the foundational aspects of the light–matter inte… more

Tribologically induced nanolaminate in a cold-sprayed WC-reinforced Cu matrix composite: a key to high wear resistance

Description: Article describes an experiment where a self-organized 2D nanolaminate with an average lamella thickness of ~22 nm was formed in the subsurface of a cold-sprayed WC-reinforced metal matrix composite (MMC) Cu-MoS2-WC during oscillatory sliding, resulting in more stable friction and improved wear resistance.
