Fundamental materials research spanning multiple material classes, including materials characterization, processing-structure-property relationships, and cross-cutting materials phenomena
4 papersWeather remains a significant factor in general aviation accidents, with cloudy conditions, gusts, and crosswinds frequently cited in NTSB reports. However, the use and effectiveness of onboard weather equipment remain unclear due to inconsistent reporting and the difficulty of determining causality from narrative data.
This paper provides a revised thermodynamic description of pure iron, focusing on the fcc, hcp, and liquid phases. The authors reassessed the magnetic properties of the solid phases using new Calphad models and theoretical calculations, resulting in a description that accurately reproduces experimental and theoretical data. Notably, they found that the often-used magnetic two-state model was not necessary to model the thermodynamic properties of fcc iron.
This study used a high-throughput method to synthesize and analyze Fe-Co-Ni thin film libraries, evaluating their structural, electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties. Researchers found that the film's properties vary with composition and processing temperature, identifying specific compositions with promising combinations for potential applications in electrical machines.
This paper proposes an automated system for personnel monitoring and order control in a restaurant setting. The system aims to reduce errors, improve efficiency, and provide management tools, but its actual effectiveness remains untested.
