Twinning structures and their interfacial segregation play a key role in strengthening of magnesium alloys. Micro-steps are frequently existed in the incoherent twin boundaries, while the effect of them on interface and interfacial segregation is still not clear. In this work, we performed an atomic-scale microstructure analysis using high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) to explore the effect of micro-steps on twin and its interfacial segregation in Mg-Ag alloy. Diffraction pattern of the incoherent {10 1 ¯ 1} twin shows that the misorientation has a slight tilt of 5° from its theoretical angle of 125° due to the accumulated effects of the micro-steps and their misfit dislocations in twin boundaries. Most of the micro-steps in {10 1 ¯ 1} twin boundary are in the height of 2 d ( 10 1 ¯ 1 ) and 4 d ( 10 1 ¯ 1 ) , respectively, and both of them have two types according to whether there are dislocations on the micro-steps. The twin boundary is interrupted by many micro-steps, which leads to a step-line distributed interfacial segregation. Moreover, the Ag tends to segregate to dislocation cores, which results in the interruption of interfacial segregation at the micro-steps with dislocations.

Anode-free all solid-state batteries (AF-ASSBs) employ "empty" current collector with three active interfaces that determine electrochemical stability; lithium metal - Solid electrolyte (SE) interphase (SEI-1), lithium - current collector interface, and collector - SE interphase (SEI-2). Argyrodite LiPSCl (LPSCl) solid electrolyte (SE) displays SEI-2 containing copper sulfides, formed even at open circuit. Bilayer of 140 nm magnesium/30 nm tungsten (Mg/W-Cu) controls the three interfaces and allows for state-of-the-art electrochemical performance in half-cells and fullcells.

The adsorption of (X = Ni, Pd, and Pt) nanoclusters is simulated by using first-principles methods on MgO(100) and on a MgO monolayer supported on Ag(100), considering the presence of interfacial oxygen. On both the free-standing MgO surface and MgO/Ag, all clusters exhibit robust adhesion and negative charge transfer. molecular dynamics calculations at 200 K demonstrate the stability of the nanoparticles on the MgO/Ag support.

Hypothesis: The addition of water to a non-ionic N-oxide deep eutectic solvent(DES) composed of phenylacetic acid (PhAA) and N-dodecylmorpholine-N-oxide(MO-12) in a 1:1 M ratio(PhAA/MO-12) will promote interfacial nanostructure formation due to increased proton transfer and solvophobic interactions, leading to reduced friction.
Experiments: The interfacial structure and friction of PhAA/MO-12 with water content up to 41.9 wt% were investigated at mica surfaces.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the properties of Inconel 718/Ti6Al4V multi-material samples with a Cu and Nb interlayer produced using selective laser melting (SLM).
- It investigates the microstructure, chemical composition, phase composition, and hardness, revealing island macro-segregation at interfacial zones and distinct transitions in chemical composition.
- The findings indicate that while no new phases were formed, there were notable changes in microhardness and the ultimate tensile strength of the samples was found to be 910 MPa.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding the interphase regions in epoxy resins is crucial for enhancing their mechanical properties, like fracture strength and barrier performance, as these areas are often weak spots.
- Conventional methods struggle to analyze these nanoscale regions, making it hard to understand their formation processes.
- By using molecular dynamics simulations and infrared mapping, researchers discovered that binding interactions of the amine cross-linker with various metal oxide surfaces affect binding energies, while also revealing that an excess of reactive materials remains near the particles, indicating potential undercuring in the matrix.
