被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:94.05(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Dual-phase (DP) high- and medium-entropy alloys (H/MEAs), consisting of face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) phases, have attracted attention because of their excellent strength-ductility balance. However, the temperature dependence of hetero-deformation-induced (HDI) strengthening remains unclear. In this study, an Al
(CoNiV)
DP MEA was investigated using in-situ neutron diffraction and multiscale electron microscopy. Both intrinsic strength and HDI strengthening increased at cryogenic temperature. This enhancement originated from the increased lattice friction stress of the hard BCC phase and suppressed dislocation mobility at low temperature, which promoted dislocation accumulation at heterogeneous interfaces. These findings provide insights into temperature-dependent HDI strengthening in DP H/MEAs and related alloy systems.

被引用回数:9 パーセンタイル:81.63(Engineering, Mechanical)Stacking fault energy (SFE) controls key deformation mechanisms in metals. This study demonstrates that apparent SFE and deformation behavior can be tuned by modifying only the near-surface microstructure (
100 um) through surface severe plastic deformation. The resulting gradient microstructure reduces apparent SFE, promoting martensitic transformation via preferential nucleation and stress partitioning. Consequently, mechanical properties are enhanced, achieving higher strength with minimal ductility loss, highlighting the effectiveness of localized microstructural engineering.

被引用回数:4 パーセンタイル:56.20(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)High-strength structural alloys are essential for advanced engineering. This study explores the mechanical behavior of a dual-phase AlCoNiV medium-entropy alloy (MEA) with FCC and BCC phases. The alloy shows excellent performance, with a yield strength of 1148 MPa, tensile strength of 1556 MPa, and 40% uniform elongation. In-situ neutron diffraction and EBSD analyses reveal that strength originates from the intrinsic responses of both phases. The BCC phase carries more load, while dislocation buildup at phase boundaries enhances strength via hetero-deformation-induced (HDI) strengthening. Synergistic effects, including stress partitioning and load redistribution, further improve mechanical performance. These findings highlight the role of phase-specific properties and interphase interactions in alloy robustness and offer insights for microstructural optimization.

(at%) ferrous medium-entropy alloy (MEA). A simple thermomechanical process (cold rolling and 90 s annealing) produces ultrafine recrystallized grains, non-recrystallized grains with substructures, and intragranular nanoprecipitates. This structure, with high dislocation density and fine grains, yields a high strength of
1.60 GPa but can risk premature fracture. To overcome this, L
ders deformation, enabled by ultrafine grain boundaries and stress-induced martensitic transformation at pre-existing nucleation sites, is employed. Stable L
ders band propagation delays strain hardening and enables large uniform ductility. As a result, a tensile strength of
1.84 GPa and uniform elongation of
20% are achieved, matching the best tensile properties among reported multi-principal element alloys.

被引用回数:9 パーセンタイル:89.01(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Face-centered cubic (FCC) equi-atomic multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit excellent mechanical properties from cryogenic to room temperatures. At room temperature, deformation is dominated by dislocation slip, while at cryogenic temperatures (CTs), reduced stacking fault energy enhances strain hardening with twinning. This study uses in-situ neutron diffraction to analyze the temperature-dependent deformation behavior of Al
(CoNiV)
, a dual-phase (FCC/BCC) medium-entropy alloy (MEA). At liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT), deformation twinning in the FCC matrix leads to additional strain hardening through the dynamic Hall-Petch effect, giving the appearance of improved strengthening at LNT. In contrast, BCC precipitates show dislocation slip at both 77 K and 298 K, with temperature-dependent lattice friction stress playing a significant role in strengthening. The study enhances understanding of deformation behaviors and provides insights for future alloy design.

exhibits a N
el type long-range magnetic order at the wavevector (0, 0, 0) below T

被引用回数:375 パーセンタイル:99.75(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Nanozymes are promising alternatives to natural enzymes, but their use remains limited owing to poor specificity. Overcoming this is extremely challenging due to the intrinsic structural complexity of these systems. We report theoretical design and experimental realization of a series of heterogeneous molybdenum single-atom nanozymes (named Mo
-N
-C), wherein we find that the peroxidase-like specificity is well regulated by the coordination numbers of single Mo sites. The resulting Mo
-N
-C catalyst shows exclusive peroxidase-like behavior. It achieves this behavior via a homolytic pathway, whereas Mo
-N
-C and Mo
-N
-C catalysts have a different heterolytic pathway. The mechanism of this coordination-number-dependent enzymatic specificity is attributed to geometrical structure differences and orientation relationships of the frontier molecular orbitals.
