Vapor-phase processes are still underrepresented in halide perovskite photovoltaics. The different volatility of the perovskite precursors challenges thermal evaporation from a single source. [...]

High-pressure neutron powder diffraction data from PbNCN were collected on the high-pressure diffraction beamline SNAP located at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Tennessee, USA). The diffraction data were analyzed using the novel method of multidimensional (two dimensions for now, potentially more in the future) Rietveld refinement and, for comparison, employing the conventional Rietveld method. [...]

Cu-Cr-Zr alloys are widely used as medium-strength and high-conductivity copper alloys in aerospace, transportation and electronic information fields. The application of additive manufacturing technology is expected to realize the preparation of Cu-Cr-Zr alloy parts with complex structure and superior property. [...]

The aging process plays a pivotal role in shaping the microstructure of Cu-Ni-Si alloys, a typical kind of precipitation-strengthened Cu alloy. This process significantly affects both the mechanical and electrical properties of the final Cu alloy strips. [...]

The additively manufactured AlSi10Mg alloy demonstrates considerable residual stresses,adversely affecting the dimensional accuracy, operational safety, and corrosion resistance of the parts. Inpractical applications, stress relief annealing is necessary to eliminate residual stresses in residual stress-sensitive applications. [...]

This research meticulously investigates the effects of varying contents of Nd and Gd, along with various heat treatment conditions, on the microstructure and mechanical characteristics of Mg–4Y-Nd-Gd-0.4Zr (wt.%) alloys within the commercial WE43 series, aiming to enhance mechanical performance while minimizing production costs. Findings reveal that Mg–4Y-1Nd-2Gd-0.4Zr alloy exhibits superior mechanical performances after undergoing a solution treatment at 500 °C for 14 h followed by peak-ageing at 200 °C for 120 h. [...]
