Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”

The Portevin-Le Chatelier effect of Cu-2.0Be alloy during hot compression by Zhu, Daibo, Wu, Na, Liu, Yang, Liu, Xiaojin, Jiang, Chaohua, Jiang, Yanbin, Zhao, Hongyun, Cui, Shuhui, Xie, Guilan

“…As the strain rate increases, the dislocations outpace the diffusion speed of the solute atoms, limiting their ability to effectively pin the dislocations, resulting in lower dislocation density and serration amplitude. …”

Report for project A1017-101on hybrid solar PV thermal (PVT) system using a tracking solar trough I by Cheung, Wai Kin.

“…The findings on the 2 above mentioned studies appeared that at this level of convergence of sunlight, the heat effects is not pronounced when applied with a cooling system running at 0.448l/min & 0.938l/min respectively. It is also witnessed that the temperature behind the cell with cooling at 0.448 l/min reached 63.7°C, while the water harnessed from the cooling system output reach 57.5°C which is comparable to water temperature in the hot spring. …”
