Article Abstract

The precipitation behavior of Cu-Fe alloys with Ni addition on isothermal annealing at 878 K was investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Magnetic element atoms were segregated from the solid solution in supersaturated state, and nano-scale magnetic particles were randomly formed in the copper matrix at the initial stage of annealing at 873 K. With increasing the isothermal annealing time, however, the striking feature that two or more nano-scale magnetic particles with a cubic shape aligned linearly along (100) directions were observed upon the isothermal annealing at 873 K. To investigate the relationship between micro-structures and magnetic properties of the heterogeneous Cu-Fe-Ni alloys, magnetic measurements such as M-H measurements were also carried out, using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. In this study, it was revealed that the magnetic properties of the specimen presented the ferromagnetic behavior, during the precipitation process in a Cu-Fe-Ni alloy.

The resistivity of the silica SBA-15 type can be significantly improved by forming a thin layer of carbon on the pore surface. This is possible through the carbonization reaction of a surfactant used as a structure-directing agent in the synthesis of mesostructured silica materials. The synthesis of this type of silica-carbon composite (SBA-C) is based on the use of sulfuric acid to create a carbon layer from surfactant molecules encapsulated in silica mesopores.

We developed a rapid and sensitive diagnostic platform that integrates isothermal viral gene amplification with a nucleic acid lateral flow assay (NALFA) to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Isothermal gene amplification was performed by combining reverse transcription of viral RNA with recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). In our diagnostic platform, DNA primers for the RPA reaction were modified by appending DNA tails, enabling the synthesis of tailed amplicon DNAs.

A phase-field study to explore the nature of the morphological instability of Kirkendall voids in complex alloys.

The present research explores theoretical and computational aspects of the morphological instability of Kirkendall voids induced by a directed flux of vacancies. A quantitative phase-field model is coupled with a multi-component diffusion model and CALPHAD-type thermodynamic and kinetic databases to obtain a meso-scale description of Kirkendall void morphologies under isothermal annealing. The material under investigation is a diffusion couple consisting of a multi-phase multi-component single-crystal Ni-based superalloy on one side and pure Ni on the other side.

This study explores the concurrent formation of surface perforations, parallel cylinders, and double gyroids in symmetric PS--PMMA/hPS blend films during isothermal annealing at 205 and 240 °C. By controlling the weight fraction ratio of PS--PMMA to hPS at 75/25, we systematically examined the impact of film thickness and annealing temperature on nanodomain development. Using GISAXS and SEM, we observed that thin films rapidly formed surface perforations and underlying parallel cylinders at both annealing temperatures.

Article Synopsis
  • Physical vapor deposition creates organic glasses with high kinetic stability, which can slowly transition to supercooled liquids when heated.
  • The study investigates the rejuvenation of vapor-deposited methyl-m-toluate glasses after 6 hours of annealing at a temperature close to their glass transition temperature (Tg), finding moderate glasses show rejuvenation, while highly stable glasses do not show expected changes.
  • Surprisingly, annealing lead to increased storage component of dielectric susceptibility in stable glasses without increases in the loss component, indicating short-term rejuvenation affects high-frequency relaxation processes; simulations showed no rejuvenation in similarly stable glasses within the same time frame.
