In this study, the phase transformation mechanism during the decomposition of undercooled austenite and its effect on the deformation behavior of a high-strength medium Mn steel were studied. The results indicate that the austenite formation during h...

The “yellow-skinned” Nanhong agate represents a unique variety of Nanhong agate found in northeastern Yunnan, China, and it is highly valued for its distinctive yellow exterior and clear red–yellow interface. Owing to the limited re...

In this paper, we report on the growth and characterization of high doping concentration (2.1 at%) ytterbium (Yb) doped lithium niobate (Yb:LiNbO3) crystal. By using a slightly modified Czochralski method, we have successfully grown a usable size (2...

A very fundamental property of both weakly and strongly interacting materials is the nature of their magnetic response. In this work, we detail the growth of crystals of the quasicrystal approximant Fe4Al13 with an Al flux solvent method. We characte...

The growth velocity of the crystal–melt interface during solidification is one of the important parameters that determine the crystal growth morphology. However, both experimental investigations and theoretical calculations are time-consuming a...

This study pioneers the development of a synergistic Ag-doped molecularly imprinted TiO2 photocatalyst (MIP-Ag-TiO2) through a multi-strategy engineering approach, integrating molecular imprinting technology with plasmonic metal modification via a pr...

Composite-to-metal interference-fit is widely used in the aerospace field, where the problem of the damage and failure of composite materials is particularly critical. A numerical study was conducted on the damage and failure of carbon fiber composit...

In this work, we synthesized the Co0.85Bi0.15Fe1.9X0.1O4 (X = Ce3+, Sm3+, Ho3+, and Er3+) nanoparticles via the auto-combustion method. The cell viability against two breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 and T-47D cells) and the PC3 prostate cancer cells...

The full chemical shift tensor of 207Pb (spin I=1/2) in the natural mineral crocoite, PbCrO4, has been determined using single-crystal NMR spectroscopy at room temperature. The eigenvalues of the tensor in its principal axes system are δ11=&min...

Titanium carbonitride (Ti(C,N))-based ceramics are widely utilized in mechanical machining, aerospace, and electronics, particularly in cutting tools and wear-resistant components. Two single-phase solid solution powders, non-high-entropy (Ti0.83,W0....
