Classical force fields (FFs) based on machine learning (ML) methods show great potential for large scale simulations of solids. MLFFs have hitherto largely been designed and fitted for specific systems and are not usually transferable to chemistries beyond

Polyamide (PA) nanofilm membranes for solvent filtration are widely used in various industries. However, reliable models that can describe solvent transport in PA membranes have yet to be developed owing to measurement challenges associated with the highly

The structural, thermal, and electronic properties of Ba2MnSe3 were investigated. Analysis of the low-temperature heat capacity revealed a low Debye temperature and a low average speed of sound that, together with the bonding in this material, result in a
Recent advances in first principles calculations and machine learning techniques allow a systematic search for phonon-mediated superconductors. We develop a multi-step workflow for the discovery of conventional superconductors, starting with a Bardeen

This work presents a fundamental equation of state for the thermodynamic properties of R-1336mzz(E). The equation of state is expressed explicitly in the Helmholtz energy with temperature and density as the independent variables, and is based on

Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) is capable of determining the single crystal elastic constants from polycrystalline specimens with known crystallographic texture. However, the calculated single crystal elastic constants vary with the measured

A non-intrusive and non-disruptive internal fluorescent pattern is designed, developed, and tested using digital image correlation (DIC), an effective non-contact optical method, to measure deformation at internal planes of a polymer matrix material. The

The structural and microstructural responses of a model metal-organic framework (MOF) material, Ni(3-Methy-4,4'-bipyridine)[Ni(CN)4] (Ni-BpyMe or PICNIC 21), to CO2 adsorption and desorption are reported for in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and

High-throughput density functional theory (DFT) calculations allow for a systematic search for conventional Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors. With the recent interest in two-dimensional (2D) superconductors, we extend our previously

Uncooled microbolometer arrays incorporating vertically aligned carbon nanotube absorbers are increasingly being adopted in satellite instrumentation for monitoring the Earth's radiation budget. A key requirement for such microbolometers is a thermistor

We present a wide-ranging correlation expressed in terms of temperature and density for the viscosity of ethanol based on critically evaluated experimental data. The correlation is designed to be used with an existing equation of state from the triple

FeRh films, known as antiferromagnetic material at low temperature, exhibit unexpected ferromagnetic (FM) characteristics, unlike bulk. Detailed temperature-dependent physical properties of FeRh film are examined to elucidate the causes. Temperature
The mechanism that underlies 〖Bi〗^(3+)-stimulated extreme bottom-up Au filling of trenches and vias in slightly alkaline 〖Na〗_3 Au(〖SO〗_3 )_2+〖Na〗_2 〖SO〗_3 electrolytes is explored. The remarkable void-free feature filling and self-passivation behavior
