被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Here, we investigated the room-temperature (298 K) and cryogenic-temperature (77 K) mechanical behaviors of binary Al-Mg alloys over a wide range of Mg concentrations (2.8-13.1 at.%). A ductile-to-brittle transition was observed at 77 K as the Mg content increased from 7.5 to 13.1 at.%, accompanied by a significant decrease in impact energy from 161 J to 14 J. Through detailed theoretical calculations and experimental observations, this composition-dependent transition was found to be primarily associated with Mg segregation-induced grain boundary (GB) expansion and charge density depletion at the GB. These findings not only address the growing demand for durable lightweight materials for low-temperature applications, but also provide insights into the design of ultralight aerospace structural materials capable of withstanding the harsh environments encountered in space exploration.

被引用回数:7 パーセンタイル:98.38(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Dynamic strain aging (DSA) causes serrated flow, known as the Portevin-Le Ch
telier (PLC) effect, through interactions between solute atoms and dislocations. In this study, tensile tests on an Al-Mg-Zn crossover solid-solution alloy revealed that DSA and strain-induced dynamic precipitation jointly control serration behavior. At low strain rates, DSA-assisted precipitation produced Type C serrations, whereas high strain rates suppressed precipitation and promoted Type A serrations. High-energy X-ray diffraction and TEM analyses showed that screw dislocations dominated early deformation and governed plastic flow localization through cross-slip. Frequent cross-slip at high strain rates generated dislocation microbands responsible for Type A serrations, highlighting the primary role of screw dislocations rather than edge dislocations. A constitutive model incorporating DSA-assisted strengthening successfully predicted flow behavior over a wide strain-rate range.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Chemistry, Physical)Disordered carbon offers untapped potential for spin caloritronics. We report a phonon-enhanced spin-dependent Seebeck effect (SDSE) in a magnetic carbon film (MCF) with graphene nano-crystallites (10 nm), interfaced with Pt. In a longitudinal setup, the transverse thermoelectric voltage (
) peaks at (
) at 220 K, driven by a thermally induced spin current via the inverse spin Hall effect. Raman spectroscopy reveals a coincident G-band redshift peak, suggesting a phonon-spin resonance unique to MCF's hybrid structure. X-ray absorption spectra confirm stable sp
states, potentially mediating this effect. A multiple-sample study in addition reveals that smaller crystallites enhance SDSE. Unlike pristine graphene or insulators, MCF's weak ferromagnetism and phonon dynamics yield an unconventional spin-thermal regime. This finding redefines carbon's role in spin caloritronics, with tunable nano-crystallite size as a design parameter.

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:92.28(Engineering, Mechanical)Precipitation hardening strengthens FCC alloys but often reduces ductility. This study shows that precipitates can also modify deformation behavior to mitigate this trade-off. An FeCrNiAlTi FCC alloy fabricated by laser additive manufacturing contains incoherent L2
precipitates at cell walls and coherent L1
precipitates within cells. By controlling precipitation, an excellent strength-ductility balance was achieved at both ambient and cryogenic temperatures. High-density precipitates provide strengthening while promoting deformation-induced stacking faults and twinning, thereby enhancing work hardening via strain heterogeneity. In situ neutron diffraction indicates that post-yield lattice strain governs stacking fault and twin formation. Simulations show that interfacial misfit of the L2
phase and the size and spacing of the L1
phase amplify local strain.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We propose an extension of the QCD sum rules, termed the resonance sum rules, to access resonance poles in the complex energy plane. By strategically introducing a contour in the complex plane and conformal mapping, the method intends to reach resonance poles on the second Riemann sheet. To validate this approach, we apply resonance sum rules to the square-well potential model, for which the pole locations are known. The analysis demonstrates a successful extraction of the pole positions and residues for both the S-wave and P-wave resonances. The results are in good agreement with the analytic solutions, with discrepancies within 5% for the pole positions and 20% for the residues. This framework provides a basis for future applications to realistic hadronic resonances, promising new insights into spectral properties of QCD.

Small-angle scattering results demonstrated the presence of nano (
10 nm) chemical fluctuations in the as-prepared CrFeCoNiPd HEAs, which was attributed to the negative mixing of enthalpy and the significant atomic radius difference between Pd and the constituent elements in the CrFeCoNi-based alloys. Subsequent tensile tests demonstrated that the yield and tensile strengths of the as-prepared CrFeCoNiPd HEA surpass those of the as-prepared CrMnFeCoNi HEA. Neutron diffraction data analysis revealed an anomalous response of dislocation evolution with the strain.

被引用回数:29 パーセンタイル:95.21(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Nanoprecipitates and nanoscale retained austenite (RA) with suitable stability play crucial roles in determining the yield strength (YS) and ductility of ultrahigh strength steels (UHSSs). However, owing to the kinetics incompatibility between nanoprecipitation and austenite reversion, it is highly challenging to simultaneously introduce high-density nanoprecipitates and optimized RA in UHSSs. In this work, through the combination of austenite reversion treatment (ART) and subsequent flash austenitizing (FA), nanoscale chemical heterogeneity was successfully introduced into a low-cost UHSS prior to the aging process. This chemical heterogeneity involved the enrichment of Mn and Ni in the austenite phase. The resulting UHSS exhibited dual-nanoprecipitation of Ni(Al,Mn) and (Mo,Cr)
C and nanoscale austenite stabilized via Mn and Ni enrichment. The hard martensitic matrix strengthened by high-density dual-nanoprecipitates constrains the plastic deformation of soft RA with a relatively low fraction, and the presence of relatively stable nanoscale RA with adequate Mn and Ni enrichment leads to a marginal loss in YS but keeps a persistent transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect. As a result, the newly-developed UHSS exhibits an ultrahigh YS of 1.7 GPa, an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 1.8 GPa, a large uniform elongation (UE) of 8.5 percent, and a total elongation (TE) of 13 percent. The strategy of presetting chemical heterogeneity to introduce proper metastable phases before aging can be extended to other UHSSs and precipitation-hardened alloys.

7 GPa at 15 K. Detailed analyses show that the major contribution to the excellent strength and ductility comes from the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect, introduced by the austenite-to-martensite (

被引用回数:11 パーセンタイル:91.60(Nuclear Science & Technology)In the Best-Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) framework, the use of best-estimate code requires to go through a Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification process (VVUQ). The relevance of the experimental data in relation to the physical phenomena of interest in the VVUQ process is crucial. Adequacy analysis of selected experimental databases addresses this problem. The outcomes of the analysis can be used to select a subset of relevant experimental data, to encourage designing new experiments or to drop some experiments from a database because of their substantial lack of adequacy. The development of a specific transparent and reproducible approach to analyze the relevance of experimental data for VVUQ still remains open and is the topic of this contribution. In this paper, the concept of adequacy initially introduced in the OECD/NEA SAPIUM (Systematic APproach for model Input Uncertainty quantification Methodology) activity is formalized. It is defined through two key properties, called representativeness and completeness, that allows considering the multifactorial dimension of the adequacy problem. A new systematic approach is then proposed to analyze the adequacy of a set of experimental databases. It relies on the introduction of two sets of criteria to characterize representativeness and completeness and on the use of multi-criteria decision analysis method to perform the analysis. Finally, the approach is applied in the framework of the new OECD/NEA ATRIUM activity which includes a set of practical IUQ exercises in thermal-hydraulics to test the SAPIUM guideline in determining input uncertainties and forward propagating them on an application case. It allows evaluating the adequacy of eight experimental databases coming from the Super Moby-dick, Sozzi-Sutherland and Marviken experiments and identifying the most adequate ones.

Similar to other medium-Mn steels, the Fe-5Mn-0.1C steel showed discontinuous macroscopic deformation, preferential plastic deformation in austenite, and deformation-induced martensitic transformation during L
ders deformation. Hexagonal close-packed martensite was also observed as an intermediate phase. Furthermore, an in-situ neutron diffraction experiment revealed that the pre-existing body- centered cubic phase, which was mainly ferrite, was a minor deformation path, although ferrite was the major constituent phase.

deformation experiments with cold-rolled and intercritically annealed Fe-5Mn-0.1C steel were carried out at ambient temperature to characterize the deformation heterogeneity during L
ders band propagation. Deformation band formation, which is a precursor phenomenon of L
ders band propagation, occurred even in the macroscopically elastic deformation stage. The deformation bands in the L
ders front grew from both the side edges to the center of the specimen. After macroscopic yielding, the thin deformation bands grew via band branching, thickening, multiple band initiation, and their coalescence, the behavior of which was heterogeneous. Thick deformation bands formed irregularly in front of the region where the thin deformation bands were densified. The thin deformation bands were not further densified when the spacing of the bands was below
10
m. Instead, the regions between the deformation bands showed a homogeneous plasticity evolution. The growth of the thin deformation bands was discontinuous, which may be due to the presence of ferrite groups in the propagation path of the deformation bands. Based on these observations, a model for discontinuous L
ders band propagation has been proposed.
