Aluminum-gallium oxide (AGO) thin films with wide bandgaps of greater than 5.0 eV were grown using pulsed laser deposition. As evidenced by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy, the oxygen chamber pressure considerably affected the lattice deformation in the AGO materials. Under high oxygen pressure, the lattice deformation reduced the d-spacing of the AGO(-201) plane. In the measured transmittance spectra of the AGO films, this narrowing of the d-spacing in the main plane manifested as a high-energy shift of the absorption edge. The AGO films were then installed as the active layers in the metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors (PDs). The lattice deformation was observed to enhance the photocurrent and reduce the dark current of the device. The responsivity was 20.7 times higher in the lattice-deformed AGO-based PD sample than that in the nondeformed sample. It appeared that the lattice deformation induced the separation of the piezopotential, improving the efficiency of the photogenerated carrier recombination and, consequently, shortening the decay time of the photodetector.

Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs) are known for their smooth, fully interconnected, and naturally porous characteristics, offering a superior alternative to traditional porous structures. These structures often suffer from stress concentration and a lack of adjustability. Using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), we have fabricated Inconel 625 sheet-based TPMS lattice structures with four distinct topologies: Primitive, IWP, Diamond, and Gyroid.

Cellular structures are increasingly utilized in modern engineering due to their exceptional mechanical and physical properties. In this study, the deformation and failure mechanisms of two energy-efficient lattice structures-hexagonal honeycomb and re-entrant honeycomb-were investigated. These structures were manufactured using additive stereolithography with light-curable Durable Resin V2.

School of Automobile and Traffic Engineering, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430081, China.

The Diamond lattice cylindrical shell (Diamond LCS) was proposed by a mapping approach based on the triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). The finite element models were built and their accuracy was verified by experimental results. Parameter studies were carried out to investigate the effect of geometric and loading parameters on the bending properties of the Diamond LCSs by the finite element model.

Research Institute of Interdisciplinary Science, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Dongguan University of Technology, Dongguan, 523808, China.

Manufacturing of metallic components using additive manufacturing technique is of great interest for the industrial applications. Here, the mechanical and microstructural responses of a 316 L stainless steel (316LSS) built by selective laser melting (SLM) with XOY and XOZ directions were revealed by performing in situ neutron diffraction tensile tests. The tensile strength of the XOY-printed samples reaches 700 MPa, while the tensile strength of the XOZ-printed samples is less than 600 MPa.
