Effects of adding elements M (M = C, B, Mn, Al and Al + Co) on stability of amorphous semiconducting Fe–Si films

Intrinsically elastic polymer ferroelectric by precise slight cross-linking

“…Nevertheless, from the perspective of the elastification of polymer FEs, the FE response-elastic recovery dilemma may still occur through conventional chemical crosslinking. In more detail, the ferroelectricity of PVDF-based polymer FEs originates from the orientation and polarization of FE domains in the crystalline region (8,20,26), which implies that an excellent FE response requires a high crystallinity (27)(28)(29). On the contrary, a medium or low crystallinity would be essential for outstanding elastic recovery of elastomers.…”

Liquid State Undercoolability and Crystal Growth Kinetics of Ternary Ni-Cu-Sn Alloys

“…[13,14] Ni-based alloys are widely applied in various industrial fields due to their good mechanical performances. [15] Here ternary Ni-5%Cu-5%Sn and Ni-10%Cu-10%Sn alloys are taken as the model compositions, to investigate the variation of solidification kinetics and mechanical properties with the melt undercooling. The Cu and Sn alloying elements are selected to investigate the influence of solute content on the dendritic growth mechanism and mechanical property of Ni-based alloys.…”
