This paper provides a new method to compare and then reveal the vacancy sink efficiencies quantitively between different hetero-interfaces with a shared Cu layer in one sample, in contrast to previous studies, which have compared the vacancy sink efficiencies of interfaces in different samples. Cu-Nb-Cu-V nanoscale metallic multilayer composites (NMMCs) containing Cu/V and Cu/Nb interfaces periodically were prepared as research samples and bombarded with helium ions to create vacancies which were filled by helium bubbles. A special Cu layer shared by adjoining Cu/V and Cu/Nb interfaces exists, in which the implanted helium concentration reaches its maximum and remains nearly constant with a well-designed incident energy. The results show that bubble-denuded zones (BDZ) close to interfaces exist, and that the width of the BDZ close to the Cu/V interface is less than that of Cu/Nb interface. This result is explained by one-dimensional diffusion theory, and the ratio of vacancy sink efficiency between Cu/V and Cu/Nb interfaces is calculated. Conclusively, Cu/Nb interfaces are more efficient than Cu/V interfaces in eliminating vacancies induced by radiation.

The ultrathin multi-nanolayered structure with ultrathin monolayer thickness (<10 nm) and certain interlayer spacing can significantly shorten Li paths and alleviate the volume effect for Li-storage materials. However, unlike layered materials such as MXene and MoS, shear ReO-type niobates have difficulty forming ultrathin multi-nanolayered structures due to their crystal structures, which still remains a challenge. Herein, by a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-assisted solvothermal method, we first synthesize ultrathin multi-nanolayered CuNbO with oxygen vacancies composed of ultrathin nanolayers (2-10 nm in thickness) and interlayer spacing (1-5 nm).

A charge-current-induced shift in the spin-locked Fermi surface leads to a non-equilibrium spin density at a Rashba interface, commonly known as the Rashba-Edelstein effect. Since this is an intrinsically interfacial property, direct detection of the spin moment is difficult. Here we demonstrate that a planar Josephson Junction, realized by placing two closely spaced superconducting electrodes over a Rashba interface, allows for a direct detection of the spin moment as an additional phase in the junction.

Heterostructured materials afford a new way to improve the mechanical properties, which has become vital in both materials science and engineering applications. In the present research, Cu/Nb multilayer composites with layer thicknesses from the micrometer to nanometer were fabricated by accumulative roll bonding and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Cu/Nb multilayer composites were then investigated. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of these composites increase with decreasing layer thickness.

This work elucidates the effect of interface orientation, loading mode, and crystallography on the deformation mechanisms of Cu-Nb-multilayered nanocomposites. Molecular dynamics simulations of deformation behavior of accumulative roll-bonded Cu-Nb-multilayered nanocomposites (MNCs) were performed at room temperature conditions and at a constant strain rate under iso-stress and iso-strain conditions. Interface deformation mechanisms involving nucleation of partial dislocation at the interface and gliding in the Cu layer were observed under iso-stress and iso-strain conditions.

Multifilamentary microcomposite copper-niobium (Cu-Nb) wires were fabricated by a series of accumulative drawing and bonding steps (ADB). The texture of the Cu matrix in these wires was studied using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Dynamic recrystallization during cold drawing caused a weakening of the <111> texture in the micron-scale Cu matrix at high values of true strain.
