Mechanistic Study on Thermally Induced Lattice Stiffening of ZIF-8

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Wendy Lee Queen, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Mehrdad Asgari, Qi Liu, Deepu Joseph Babu, Jian Hao

The flexibility of the ZIF-8 aperture, which inhibits a molecular cutoff of 3.4 angstrom, can be reduced by rapid heat treatment to obtain CO2-selective membranes. However, the early stages of the structural, morphological, and chemical changes responsible ...

On the structure of (111) twist grain boundaries in diamond: atomistic simulations with Tersoff-type interatomic potentials

Carolina Baruffi

In nanocrystalline diamond thin films, the high grain boundary density and the associated grain boundary properties may dominate the overall material behavior. In the present work, we systematically investigate (111) twist grain boundaries in diamond carbo ...

Motile dislocations knead odd crystals into whorls

Sofia Magkiriadou

The competition between thermal fluctuations and potential forces governs the stability of matter in equilibrium, in particular the proliferation and annihilation of topological defects. However, driving matter out of equilibrium allows for a new class of ...

Early Precipitation Stages of Sigma Phase in Alloy 28 Studied with Scanning Electron Microscopy and Atom Probe Tomography

Claes Olof Anders Olsson

This study deals with early stages of sigma phase growth in a high end austenitic stainless steel - Alloy 28 (EN 1.4563/UNS N08028). Its precipitation kinetics was followed by a series of heat treatments at 800 degrees C for holding times up to 30 000 s. T ...

Atomistic simulation and electron microscopy to characterize grain boundaries in doped beta-tricalcium phosphate ceramics

Gabrielle Anne Laguisma Sblendorio

The limitations and potential complications correlated with autogenous bone grafts have raised interest in the development of synthetic bone graft substitutes. ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) is one of the most promising materials for synthetic bone graft s ...

Studies on the mechanical evolution of compacted bentonite subjected to environmental actions

Jose Antonio Bosch Llufriu

Deep geological disposal is currently the most feasible option for the long-term isolation of radioactive waste, consisting in emplacing the waste into tunnels or drifts excavated at great depths in suitable geological formations. The use of bentonite, a h ...

Superconducting 2D NbS2 Grown Epitaxially by Chemical Vapor Deposition

Aleksandra Radenovic, Andras Kis, Michal Daniel Macha, Mukesh Kumar Tripathi, Yanfei Zhao, Guilherme Migliato Marega, Zhenyu Wang, Cheol Yeon Cheon, Hyungoo Ji

Metallic two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are attracting great attention because of their interesting low-temperature properties such as superconductivity, magnetism, and charge density waves (CDW). However, further studies and ...

Mechanical reinforcement and memory effect of strain-induced soft segment crystals in thermoplastic polyurethane-urea elastomers

Nicolas Candau, Oguzhan Oguz, Adrien Julien Demongeot

An amorphous poly(urethane-urea) copolymer composed of 70 wt% poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) soft segments (SS) (Mw = 2000 g mol−1) and 30 wt% cycloaliphatic hard segments (HS) was subjected to in-situ X-Rays during tensile deformation. Mechanical hardening at ...

Nano-emitting Heterostructures Violate Optical Reciprocity and Enable Efficient Photoluminescence in Halide-Segregated Methylammonium-Free Wide Bandgap Perovskites

Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Chien-Jen Yang, Christian Michael Wolff, Peter Joseph Fiala

This work investigates halide segregation in methylammonium-free wide bandgap perovskites by photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and advanced electron microscopy techniques. Our study reveals how the formation of nano-emitting low-energy domains embedde ...
