In this investigation, chromium (Cr) was adopted as an alloying element on a nickel substrate, and the alloying process was materialized via high-current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) irradiation. ...X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were also conducted for microstructure characterization. The results showed that after HCPEB irradiation a nanocrystalline Cr-Ni alloying layer was formed and numerous dislocations were generated, resulting in a great deal of diffusion paths for Cr elements. Moreover, properties including hardness, wear and electrochemical performance were significantly improved after HCPEB irradiation, which was mainly due to the formation of the nanocrystalline Cr⁻Ni alloying layer. In addition, each strengthening mechanism that contributed to the hardness of the HCPEB-irradiated sample was mathematically analyzed, and solid solution strengthening was found to be of great importance.
Although semiconducting ferromagnetism has been experimentally discovered in two-dimensional (2D) crystals, the spin coupling is still quite weak, which leads to a rather low Curie temperature (T C). ...Thus, it is quite confused whether the ferromagnetism in semiconductors can survive under room temperature. Here, through isovalent alloying, we propose that the semiconducting ferromagnetism of 2D MnS2 can be significantly enhanced with T C improved higher than room temperature. Based on first-principles calculations, we systematically studied the properties of original MnS2 and the isovalent alloying systems Mn x Re1–x S2. The spin coupling is significantly enhanced by introducing Mn–Re virtual bonds, and the highest T C of the system reaches 360 K. Besides this, a tensile strain will further enhance the ferromagnetic couplings as well as the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, which is important for the stabilization of long-range ferromagnetic order in a 2D system. Our results not only broaden the family of 2D ferromagnetic semiconductors but also provide the direct clues to prepare such high-temperature magnetic materials for promising applications in spintronics.

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals have piqued the curiosity of researchers due to their unique features and potential applications, such as catalysis and ion batteries. One essential and ...desirable aspect of 2D materials is that they have a large photoreactive contact surface for optical absorption. Here, a 2D crystal is proposed that possesses a moderate adjustable indirect band gap of 1.95 eV (HSE06) and exhibits ultrahigh visible light harvesting with a absorption coefficient of up to 108 cm−1 in the ∼380 to 800 nm range of the visible light spectrum. Besides that, the indirect band gap can be converted to a direct one under biaxial strain. By means of density functional theory, the 2D Al2Te5 monolayer displays great stability and promise of experimental fabrication. These advantages will provide considerable application potential for future photovoltaics (PV) devices.

In this work, the microstructure and optical properties of the Mo/Si multilayers mirror for the space extreme-ultraviolet solar telescope before and after 100 keV proton irradiation have been ...investigated. EUV/soft X-ray reflectometer (EXRR) results showed that, after proton irradiation, the reflectivity of the Mo/Si multilayer decreased from 12.20% to 8.34% and the center wavelength revealed red shift of 0.38 nm, as compared with those before proton irradiation. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observations revealed the presence of MoSi2, Mo3Si and Mo5Si3 in Mo-on-Si interlayers before irradiation. The preferred orientation such as MoSi2 with (101) texture and Mo5Si3 with (310) texture was formed in Mo-on-Si interlayers after proton irradiation, which led to the increase of thickness in the interlayers. It is suggested that the changes of microstructures in Mo/Si multilayers under proton irradiation could cause optical properties degradation.

In this paper, a new TiBN micro-nano powder was synthesized by boronizing sintering method. The TiBN powder exhibits specific micro-nano composite structure, which is composed of TiBN crystal and ...amorphous layer of nanometer size. The amorphous structure mostly distributes along particle boundary with minimum thickness of 2 nm. The TiBN powder shows combined ceramic and metallic properties with an exordinary electrical conductivity, having an electrical resistivity of 2.655 × 10−5 Ωm (much better than that of TiN, TiCN, TiB2 and TiC). Solid dissolution of B into TiN decreases the number electron of the system and pull down the Fermi level, making the electron present a quasi-linear dispersion contributing to excellent electrical conductivity of TiBN powder. Such TiBN can be used as conductive phase and reinforcing phase in electrical contact materials. Additionally, the TiBN significantly improve the arc erosion resistance of copper-based electrical contact without reducing the electrical conductivity of copper. When the reinforced phase content was 2.5 wt%, the resistivity of Cu/TiBN was 0.26 × 10−6 Ωm, which was only 20.5% that of Cu/TiN. TiO2, Ti3O5, B2O3 and N2 were formed on the surface of Cu/TiBN samples during arc erosion. Such products can significantly enhance the arc erosion resistance of Cu/TiBN electrical contact materials. This TiBN powder synthesis route can be used to prepare bulk materials in engineering materials industry. In addition, it has attractive research value and broad application prospects in photovoltaic cells and energy storage collector applications including lithium batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells.

Mo/Si multilayers were fabricated by using magnetron sputtering method at different background pressures:6×10-5 Torr,3×10-5 Torr,and 3×10-6 Torr.The reflectivity of the Mo/Si multilayers increased ...from 1.93% to 16.63%,and the center wavelength revealed a blue shift to 0.12 nm with the decrease of background pressure.Grazing incident X-ray diffraction(GIXRD) indicated that multilayers fabricated at high background pressure possessed better periodic structure and thinner Mo-on-Si interlayers.Low crystallization degree in(110) preferred the orientation of Mo layers and serious interdiffusion in the Mo/Si multilayers fabricated at low background pressure were observed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM).According to quantitative analysis of microstructural parameters,the Mo layers thickness and thickness ratio of Mo/Si multilayers both decreased and approached the design value gradually by the decrease of background pressure.In addition,the thicknesses of Mo-on-Si and Si-on-Mo interlayers were 1.17 nm and 0.85 nm respectively.It is suggested that the influence of background pressures on the microstructure has a critical role in determining the optical properties of Mo/Si multilayers.
