Comparison of the crystallization behavior of Fe-Si-B-Cu and Fe-Si-B-Cu-Nb-based amorphous soft magnetic alloys by Smith, Casey, Katakam, Shravana, Nag, Soumya, Zhang, Y. R., Law, J. Y., Ramanujan, Raju V., Dahotre, Narendra B., Banerjee, Rajarshi

“…Consequently, the presence of Nb limits the growth rate of the α-Fe3Si nanocrystals in FINEMET and results in the activation of a larger no. of nucleation sites, leading to a substantially more refined microstructure as compared to the Fe76.5Si13.5B9Cu1 alloy.…”

Multimode OAM convergent transmission with co-divergent angle tailored by airy wavefront by Zhao, Yufei, Wang, Ziyang, Lu, Yilong, Guan, Yong Liang

“…As the amount of transmitted data increases, the low-rank characteristic of the line-of-sight (LoS) channel severely limits the growth of channel capacity in the point-to-point backhaul transmission scenario. …”

Domain aggregation and associated pore growth in lipid membranes by Liu, Yue, Zou, Guijin, Gao, Huajian

“…To help reveal and understand the underlying mechanisms, here we establish a theory to show that the deformation energy of the membrane tends to limit the growth of molecular domains on a lipid membrane, resulting in a characteristic domain size, and that the domain aggregation significantly reduces the energy barrier to pore growth. …”
