Combined electron imaging and diffraction methods for understanding disordered rocksalt cathodes by Hedley, E

“…An investigation using 4D-STEM, which evidences the formation of a spinel phase upon cycling, is presented. Finally, the application of ptychography for elucidating structural aspects of DRS cathodes is established by showing that the tetrahedral sites are unoccupied in regions of the SRO and providing insights into the nature of the termination surface.…”

Progressive collapse of reinforced concrete building structures by Dat, Pham Xuan

“…The associated rotationally-restrained but laterally-unrestrained boundary condition of the test specimens was effected by a set of pinned-end supporting columns. Uniformly distributed loads were simulated by a twelve-point loading system. …”

Analysing the effect of screw configuration using a stochastic twin-screw granulation model by McGuire, Andrew D., Mosbach, Sebastian, Reynolds, Gavin K., Patterson, Robert I. A., Bringley, Eric, Eaves, Nick, Dreyer, Jochen A. H., Kraft, Markus

“…However, the model has a tendency to over-predict the amount of fines in the final product. Nevertheless, the model qualitatively captures the reduction in fines associated with an increase in the number of kneading elements, as observed experimentally. …”

Producing microscale Ge textures via titanium nitride- and nickel-assisted chemical etching with CMOS-compatibiliyty by Liao, Yikai, Shin, Sang-Ho, Jin, Yuhao, Wang, Qi Jie, Kim, Munho

“…Schottky contact barrier of metal catalyst with Ge is also investigated indicating similar hole injection efficiency among TiN, Ni, and Ti/Ni with Ge junction due to strong Fermi level pinning effect. The TiN- and Ni-assisted chemical etching of Ge shed light on CMOS-compatible Ge-based photonic and optoelectronic applications.…”

Electronic structure of paramagnetic transition metal complexes by Al-Ameed, K

“…The distribution of metal ions across sites of different coordination geometry is a fundamental problem in inorganic chemistry (the text-book example is the spinel family) and we show here that the ligand-field stabilisation energy available to Ni^II dominates the site distribution. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Wear behaviour of NiTi shape memory alloys by Yan, Lina

“…For example, since mechanical properties of NiTi SMAs are close to those of cortical bones, NiTi SMA based implants such as joint replacements, bone plates, and spine fracture fixations were developed. However, complex wear modes on the surface may cause undesired reactions from neighboring tissues, leading to a serious inflammation of the human body. …”
