The present work systematically investigated the effects of niobium and molybdenum on the microstructures and corrosion properties of high-entropy CrFeCoNiNbMo and CrFeCoNiNbMo alloys, the maximum content of (Nb + Mo) was 20 at.%. All of the alloys were prepared by arc melting under an argon atmosphere. In CrFeCoNiNbMo alloys (x = 0.15, 0.3 and 0.5), increasing Nb and Mo content would change the microstructure of the alloy from a hypoeutectic structure (x ≤ 0.3) to a hypereutectic one (x = 0.5). All of the CrFeCoNiNbxMo alloys (x = 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75) had a hypereutectic microstructure. Only two phases were analyzed in these alloys, which were face-centered cubic (FCC) and hexagonal close packing (HCP). Increasing the content of Nb and Mo increases the hardness of the alloys by the effects of the solid solution strengthening and formation of the HCP phase. The potentiodynamic polarization curves of these alloys were also measured in 1 M sulfuric acid and 1 M sodium chloride solutions to evaluate the corrosion resistance of these alloys. The CrFeCoNiNbMo alloy had the smallest corrosion rate (0.0732 mm/yr) in 1 M deaerated HSO solution, and the CrFeCoNiNbMo alloy had the smallest corrosion rate (0.0425 mm/yr) in 1 M deaerated NaCl solution. However, the CrFeCoNiNbMo alloy still had the best combination of corrosion resistance and hardness in the present study.

Light, strong, and radiation-tolerant materials are essential for advanced nuclear systems and aerospace applications. However, the comprehensive properties of current radiation-tolerant materials are far from being satisfactory in harsh operating environments. In this study, a high-throughput-designed NbVTaSi refractory eutectic medium entropy alloy realizes the controllable formation of the β-NbSi phase with a high content and has outstanding comprehensive properties, i.

We study the Raman signature of stripe domains in monolayer WMoS alloys, characterized using experimental techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These stripe domains were found in star-shaped monolayer WS exhibiting a high concentration of molybdenum (Mo) atoms in its central region, and unique Raman peaks that were not previously reported. We attribute these peaks to the splitting of the original doubly degenerate E modes, arising from the lower symmetry of the W-Mo stripe domains.

We have found that surface superstructures made of "monolayer alloys" of Tl and Pb on Si(111), having giant Rashba effect, produce nonreciprocal spin-polarized photocurrent via circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) by obliquely shining circularly polarized near-infrared (IR) light. CPGE is here caused by the injection of in-plane spin into spin-split surface-state bands, which is observed only on Tl-Pb alloy layers but not on single-element Tl nor Pb layers. In the Tl-Pb monolayer alloys, despite their monatomic thickness, the magnitude of CPGE is comparable to or even larger than the cases of many other spin-split thin-film materials.

Composite coatings reinforced with varying mass fractions of SiC particles were successfully fabricated on 316 stainless steel substrates via laser cladding. The phase compositions, elemental distribution, microstructural characteristics, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the composite coatings were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Vickers hardness testing, friction-wear testing and electrochemical methods. The coatings have no obvious pores, cracks or other defects.

The design of efficient photocatalysts is crucial for photocatalytic CO reduction. This study developed photocatalysts based on MIL-101(Cr) composited with a facet-engineered Pt/Pd nanoalloy (PPNA). Photocatalytic performance evaluations show that MIL-101(Cr) loaded with PPNA exposing {111} facets, namely M-A(111), exhibits a CO to CH conversion rate of 9.
