Self-assembled YBaCuO diffusive grain boundary submicron Josephson junctions offer a realization of a special regime of the proximity effect, where normal state coherence prevails on the superconducting coherence in the barrier region. Resistance oscillations from the current-voltage characteristic encode mesoscopic information on the junction and more specifically on the minigap induced in the barrier. Their persistence at large voltages is evidence of the long lifetime of the antinodal (high energy) quasiparticles.

This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to unravel the interplay between twin spacing, temperature, and mechanical response in nanotwinned AgPd alloys. For fine-grained systems, a dual strengthening-softening transition emerges as twin spacing decreases, driven by a shift in dislocation behavior from inclined-to-twin-boundary slip to parallel-to-twin-boundary glide. In contrast, coarse-grained configurations exhibit monotonic strengthening with reduced twin spacing, governed by strain localization at grain boundaries and suppressed dislocation activity.

This work presents a comprehensive reaction and kinetic model of the pyrite thin films formation by sulfuration of Fe monosulfides when a molecular sulfur (S) atmosphere is used. This investigation completes the results already published on the explanation and interpretation of the sulfuration process that transforms metallic iron into pyrite. It was previously shown that the monosulfide species (i.

This study investigates the mechanical responses and deformation mechanisms of CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) with varying grain size gradients through molecular dynamics simulations, and explores the tension-compression asymmetry of gradient nanograined high-entropy alloy (G-HEA) under different loading conditions. In the early stage of plastic deformation, the normal stress and shear strain of G-HEA both exhibit gradient distribution characteristics under compression and tension. However, as the engineering strain increased, these gradient distribution characteristics gradually diminished and ultimately disappeared.

This study aims to evaluate the behavior of stainless steel 304 grade after immersion into corrosive environments of 5% HCl solution. The initial temperature of four steel plates was selected as room temperature, 50 °C, 80 °C and 110 °C. One plate was considered in 'as received' condition.

Liver and tumor segmentation is an important technology for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, most existing methods struggle to accurately delineate the boundaries of the liver and tumor due to significant differences in their shapes, sizes, and distributions, which leads to unclear segmentation of the liver contour and incorrect delineation of the lesion area. To address this gap, we propose a hybrid gabor attention convolution and transformer interaction network with hierarchical monitoring mechanism for liver and tumor segmentation, named HyborNet.
