被引用回数：0Interstitial alloying is an effective strategy for enhancing the mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). However, in carbon-containing HEAs, the coexistence of interstitial carbon and carbides complicates the investigation of interstitial carbon's individual effects on strength and ductility. To address this, a carbide-free interstitial strengthened HEA, FeMnCoNiC, was designed by incorporating elements with low carbon affinity, enabling a clear assessment of the role of interstitial carbon. The results demonstrate that interstitial carbon solution simultaneously improves strength, ductility, and work hardening capability. Synchrotron radiation experiments reveal that the interstitial carbon containing alloy sustains higher lattice elastic strain, dislocation density, and stacking fault probability during tensile deformation, with the increased dislocation density being the primary contributor to enhanced work hardening. First principles calculations further elucidate the lattice distortion, chemical inhomogeneity and electronic localization effects induced by interstitial carbon, as well as their potential influence on strength and ductility. This study highlights the importance of carbide-free interstitial carbon-strengthened HEAs for a fundamental understanding of carbon's influence on mechanical properties.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：89.57(Multidisciplinary Sciences)In the search for unconventional magnetism, exotic quantum states are characterized by a lack of order and a broad spin excitation continuum approaching zero temperature. We study the two-dimensional triangular-lattice effective spin-system CeMgAlO, which shows slight disorder but no magnetic ordering down to 100 millikelvin. Spin-wave analysis in the magnetic-field-polarized state determines the spin Hamiltonian featuring a mixed ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor exchange interaction. This places the system near an exactly solvable point of the spin-triangular-lattice XXZ model with extensive ground-state degeneracy. In zero field, neutron spectroscopy reveals a prominent continuum; we show that this arises from an ensemble average of spin-wave spectra across the degenerate ground-state manifold. This demonstrates that the role of weak quenched disorder can be quantitatively constrained: It inhibits unique ground-state selection and stabilizes a local distribution within the degenerate manifold, yielding continuum-like spectra that necessitate a critical reevaluation of the experimental signatures of exotic quantum states.

被引用回数：8 パーセンタイル：57.35(Construction & Building Technology)The incorporation of boron (B) as a neutron absorber into metakaolin-based geopolymers for the remediation of radioactive debris following nuclear accidents has attracted considerable attention. In this study, boron carbide (BC) was employed as a functional filler, while cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) acted as both a dispersant and a stabiliser to enhance the neutron shielding properties of metakaolin-based geopolymers. Although the addition of BC improved processability via a roller-ball effect and had no discernible impact on the geopolymerisation process, its weakly polar, negatively charged surface led to the formation of a loose, weak-shell interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between the filler and the matrix, thereby reducing mechanical strength and chemical stability. In contrast, CTAB self-assembled into an interdigitated monolayer on the BC surface, reversing its surface charge to positive and promoting its uniform dispersion within the matrix. This work offers a promising approach for engineering high-performance, multifunctional geopolymer composites for nuclear and environmental applications.

Sn) nanodot samples. High coherence in multiple trials and threshold current insensitive to pulse width, in contrast to results observed with ferromagnets, were achieved in subnanosecond range, allowing 1000/1000 switching by 0.1-nanosecond pulses at zero field. These features are attributed to the inertial nature of antiferromagnetic excitations. Our study highlights the potential of antiferromagnetic spintronics to combine high speed and high efficiency in magnetic device operations.

被引用回数：13 パーセンタイル：89.51(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Spin-orbit torque (SOT) provides a promising mechanism for electrically encoding information in magnetic states. Unlike existing schemes, where the SOT is passively determined by the material and device structures, an active manipulation of the intrinsic SOT polarity would allow for flexibly programmable SOT devices. Achieving this requires electrical control of the current-induced spin polarization of the spin source. Here we demonstrate a proof-of-concept current-programmed SOT device. Using a noncollinear-anti-ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic Mn
Sn/Mo/CoFeB hetero-structure at zero magnetic eld, we show current-induced switching in the CoFeB layer due to the spin current polarized by the magnetic structure of the MnSn; by properly tuning the driving current, the spin current from the CoFeB further reverses the magnetic orientation of the MnSn, which determines the polarity of the subsequent switching of the CoFeB. This scheme of mutual switching can be achieved in a spin-valve-like simple protocol because each magnetic layer serves as a reversible spin source and target magnetic electrode. It yields intriguing proof-of-concept functionalities for unconventional logic and neuromorphic computing.

被引用回数：12 パーセンタイル：68.38(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)This study investigates the mechanical properties of a friction-stir-welded (FSW) AA6061-T6 aluminum alloy at ultra-low temperature (ULT) of 20 K. In-situ neutron diffraction and orientation imaging microscopy were employed to compare the tensile deformation behavior of the base metal (BM) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) in the FSW aluminum plate. The results demonstrate that compared to room-temperature (RT), ULT induces a significant improvement in tensile strength and ductility in both the BM and HAZ. The enhanced mechanical properties in BM at ULT result from a more homogeneous deformation than occurs at RT. On the other hand, HAZ at ULT exhibits an even lower yield strength than at RT, but the strain hardening rate (SHR) is the most significant among the alloys, leading to a tensile strength of 346 MPa and the highest ductility of 46.8%. The lowest yield strength corresponds to the lowest-hardness zones in HAZ, caused by dissolved/coarsened precipitates during the FSW process.

被引用回数：33 パーセンタイル：96.20(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Emergent quasiparticles with a Dirac dispersion in condensed matter systems can be described by the Dirac equation for relativistic electrons, in analogy with Dirac particles in high-energy physics. For example, electrons with a Dirac dispersion have been intensively studied in electronic systems such as graphene and topological insulators. However, charge is not a prerequisite for Dirac fermions, and the emergence of Dirac fermions without a charge degree of freedom has been theoretically predicted to be realized in Dirac quantum spin liquids. These quasiparticles carry a spin of 1/2 but are charge-neutral and so are called spinons. Here we show that the spin excitations of a kagome antiferromagnet, YCu(OD)
Br

(OD)
], are conical with a spin continuum inside, which is consistent with the convolution of two Dirac spinons. The predictions of a Dirac spin liquid model with a spinon velocity obtained from spectral measurements are in agreement with the low-temperature specific heat of the sample. Our results, thus, provide spectral evidence for a Dirac quantum spin liquid state emerging in this kagome lattice antiferromagnet. However, the locations of the conical spin excitations differ from those calculated by the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg model, suggesting the Dirac spinons have an unexpected origin.

A magnitude in stress drop was governed by dislocation density, phase type, and lattice defects, irrespective of processing method. FCC {200} notably was influenced recovery behavior after stress drop, and the contribution of strain energy density by serration on tensile toughness was the greatest for HR-CoCrNi.

被引用回数：10 パーセンタイル：63.67(Thermodynamics)Experiments were carried out on the liquid jet ejected from oval nozzles to investigate the effects of nozzle orifice shape on jet behavior. At low and high liquid flow rates, the liquid jet behaved similarly to the circular jet in our previous studies; the jet breakup lengths and the size of the droplets formed after the jet breakup were expressed by similar dimensionless correlations as those for the circular jet. At the intermediate liquid flow rate, a bamboo leaf-like structure formed on the liquid jet dominated the jet breakup. The jet breakup lengths were therefore correlated using a theory for the surface tension-induced shape oscillation of elliptical fluid. These correlations enabled to estimate the liquid jet state at any distance from the nozzle. It was also confirmed that if the state of the liquid jet at the impact point is known, the splash rate and the size of the splashed droplets can be predicted satisfactorily using the available correlations based on the experimental data for the circular jet.

chiral ordering can emerge in metallic TLAFs, representing the short wavelength limit of magnetic skyrmion crystals. We report the metallic TLAF CoTaS as the first example of tetrahedral triple- magnetic ordering with the associated topological Hall effect (non-zero 
). We also present a theoretical framework that describes the emergence of this magnetic ground state, which is further supported by the electronic structure measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Additionally, our measurements of the inelastic neutron scattering cross section are consistent with the calculated dynamical structure factor of the tetrahedral triple- state.

被引用回数：14 パーセンタイル：55.45(Green & Sustainable Science & Technology)Graphene-based materials have emerged as alternative adsorbents, but their success in removing pharmaceutical contaminants has been limited due to degradation caused by restacking and limited control over their sizes and porosities. Driven by this issue, in the current study, to counteract the restacking behavior, graphene sheets are supported on a thread/rod-like matrix structure in a boron nitride foam material, and a novel porous composite foam-supported graphene is synthesized. The as-prepared novel composite offers extraordinary features, such as high absorption kinetics, large available surface area, high porosity, ecofriendliness and cost-effective synthesis, and excellent affinity to emerging pharmaceutical contaminants. When batch-testing graphene-based foam material and porous graphene nanosheets to remove gemfibrozil (GEM) from wastewater samples, rapid adsorption kinetics (less than 5 min) are exhibited by the graphene-based foam. Column filter studies are conducted for both materials to test their performance in removing GEM from distilled water, synthetic graywater, and actual wastewater. Overall, the foam composite-based filter marginally outperforms the sand-supported graphene filter and significantly outperforms the unsupported graphene filter. A numerical MATLAB model is developed to simulate the reactive solute transport of GEM influent through the foam filter. Also, a formal sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify the key parameters influencing the model results.

被引用回数：30 パーセンタイル：79.85(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Magnons can transfer information in metals and insulators without Joule heating, and therefore are promising for low-power computation. The on-chip magnonics however suffers from high losses due to limited magnon decay length. In metallic thin films, it is typically on the tens of micrometre length scale. Here, we demonstrate an ultra-long magnon decay length of up to one millimetre in multiferroic/ferromagnetic BiFeO(BFO)/LaSrMnO (LSMO) heterostructures at room temperature. This decay length is attributed to a magnon-phonon hybridization and is more than two orders of magnitude longer than that of bare metallic LSMO. The long-distance modes have high group velocities of 2.5 km
as detected by time-resolved Brillouin light scattering. Numerical simulations suggest that magnetoelastic coupling via the BFO/LSMO interface hybridizes phonons in BFO with magnons in LSMO. Our results provide a solution to the long-standing issue on magnon decay lengths in metallic magnets and advance the bourgeoning field of hybrid magnonics.
