Corrosion Resistance of CrO, ZrO, and MnO Oxide Films to Lead-Bismuth Eutectic: A Comparative Study.

In this study, the stability of CrO, ZrO, and MnO oxide films in high-temperature liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) was systematically investigated using both experimental and first principles calculation methods. The research findings indicated that CrO demonstrated superior structural integrity at corrosion temperatures of both 600 °C and 700 °C and displayed exceptional resistance to LBE corrosion. ZrO demonstrates resistance to LBE infiltration.

Dataset for the thermodynamic description for the NaF-KF-RbF-ZnF system.

This data article includes the supplementary database material for the manuscript "Thermodynamic description for the NaF-KF-RbF-ZnF system", (Tang et al., 2018). We present all the thermodynamic parameters used and optimized model parameters of the thermodynamic database of the NaF-KF-RbF-ZnF quaternary system, by which researchers can obtain the calculated phase diagrams.

Strain-induced tunable negative differential resistance in triangle graphene spirals.

Using non-equilibrium Green's function formalism combined with density functional theory calculations, we investigate the significant changes in electronic and transport properties of triangle graphene spirals (TGSs) in response to external strain. Tunable negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior is predicted. The NDR bias region, NDR width, and peak-to-valley ratio can be well tuned by external strain.
