Heat capacity measurements were performed for Se, Se90Te10, Se80Te20, and Se70Te30 materials in the 230-630 K temperature range. Both glassy and crystalline Cp dependences were found to be identical within the experimental error. The compositional dependence of the N-type undercooled liquid Cp evolution was explained on the basis of free-volume theory; vibrational and chemical contributions to heat capacity were found to be roughly similar for all Se-Te compositions. The thermal behavior in the Se-Te chalcogenide system was thoroughly studied: glass transition, cold crystallization, and melting were investigated in dependence on composition and various experimental conditions (heating rate, particle size, and pre-nucleation period). The kinetics of the structural relaxation and crystallization processes are described in terms of the Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan and Johnson-Mehl-Avrami models. The complexity of these processes is thoroughly discussed with regard to the compositionally determined changes of molecular structures. The discussion is conducted in terms of the mutual interplay between the thermodynamics and kinetics in this system.

Fluid flow across a Riga Plate is a specialized phenomenon studied in boundary layer flow and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) applications. The Riga Plate is a magnetized surface used to manipulate boundary layer characteristics and control fluid flow properties. Understanding the behavior of fluid flow over a Riga Plate is critical in many applications, including aerodynamics, industrial, and heat transfer operations.

The knowledge of diffusion mechanisms in materials is crucial for predicting their high-temperature performance and stability, yet accurately capturing the underlying physics like thermal effects remains challenging. In particular, the origin of the experimentally observed non-Arrhenius diffusion behavior has remained elusive, largely due to the lack of effective computational tools. Here we propose an efficient ab initio framework to compute the Gibbs energy of the transition state in vacancy-mediated diffusion including the relevant thermal excitations at the density-functional-theory level.

Enhancing the decomposition rate of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the most common oxidizer in solid propellants, is important for improving propellant performance. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as key materials for catalyzing AP decomposition, as they can achieve good dispersion of active sites through in-situ decomposition. Despite having considerable potential, the structural transformation process and catalytic performance of MOFs in AP decomposition are still unclear, which seriously hinders their application in the field of AP decomposition.

Thermoelectric properties of undoped crystals of dibenzo[g,p]chrysene (DBC), deuterated DBC (DBC-d16), and 2,10-dimethyl-DBC (DBC-Me2) have been studied to obtain some insights into the relationship between the structural parameters of materials and the giant Seebeck effect. X-ray crystallography showed one-dimensional columnar packing with the interlayer distances (d) for DBC-d16, DBC, and DBC-Me2 were 3.78 Å, 3.
