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.…”

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. …”

The role of iron in Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formation by Lam, Ling Ning

“…Many pathogenic organisms require iron (Fe) for essential metabolic processes, and the host has multiple mechanisms to restrict iron availability to limit bacterial growth. Even though E. faecalis is highly tolerant to both iron restriction and high iron concentrations, its homeostatic response to iron availability has been minimally studied and the role of iron in enterococcal biofilm physiology and infection has been largely overlooked. …”

Investigating the open-circuit voltage deficit in Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 solar cells by Tai, Kong Fai

“…Among the industrialized TFSC, CIGS is less toxic and possesses the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE), but scarcity of indium and gallium could limit its growth potential. Therefore, research on earth-abundant and non-toxic Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cell has generated tremendous interest in the photovoltaic community. …”
