Half-metallic antiferromagnets induced by non-magnetic adatoms on bilayer silicene.

Transition metal-free magnetism and two-dimensional p-state half-metals have been a fascinating subject of research due to their potential applications in nanoelectronics and spintronics. By applying density functional theory calculations, we predict that bilayer silicene can be an interlayer antiferromagnetic ground state. Interestingly, the half-metallicity is realized by adsorbing non-magnetic atoms on the antiferromagnetic bilayer silicene in the absence of transition magnetic atoms, nanoribbons, ferromagnetic substrates and magnetic field.

Multistage kinetic analysis of DMAA/MBAM polymer removal from gelcast ceramic parts using a multi-stage parallel reaction model and model-free method.

This work aims to develop an effective method for investigating the multistage debinding kinetics and reaction mechanisms of removing ,-dimethylacrylamide/,'-methylenebisacrylamide (DMAA/MBAM) polymer from gelcast ceramic parts. Thermogravimetry (TG) and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) experiments were performed to investigate the thermal degradation characteristics and the main compounds produced during the pyrolysis of DMAA/MBAM polymer within green components. A multi-stage parallel reaction model (M-PRM) was proposed to separate the overlapping peaks in the d/d curves.
