Bubble Point Measurements of Mixtures of HFO and HFC Refrigerants

November 1, 2021
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Aaron Rowane
Bubble point pressures of six binary mixtures at two compositions each have been measured utilizing a static method. The performance of the apparatus was characterized from bubble point measurements of R32 + R125 for which 19 literature studies are

Wasif Zaheer, George Agbeworvi, Saul Perez-Beltran, Justin Andrews, Yierpan Aierken, Conan Weiland, Cherno Jaye, Young-Sang Yu, David Shapiro, Sirine Fakra, Daniel A. Fischer, Jinghua Guo, David Prendergrast, Sarbajit Banerjee
Fluoride-ion batteries are an attractive energy storage concept analogous to lithium-ion batteries but feature an inverted paradigm where anions (fluoride-ion), and not cations, are the principal charge carriers. Insertion hosts that can reversibly insert

On the Future of Scientific Publication

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Peter Strickland, Andrew J. Allen
We give a brief review of the rapidly changing landscape for scientific publication, especially in regard to scientific archival journal publication. Some of the many challenges and opportunities are outlined. These include the various forms of open access

Synthesis, structure, electronic and thermal properties of sphalerite CuZn2InS4

Author(s)
Oluwagbemiga P. Ojo, Wilarachchige D. C. B. Gunatilleke, Hagen Poddig, Hsin Wang, Joshua B. Martin, Dylan J. Kirsch, George S. Nolas
Quaternary chalcogenides continue to be of interest due to the variety of physical properties they possess, as well as their potential for different applications of interest. Investigations on materials with the sphalerite crystal structure have only

Microwave characterization of graphene inks

October 11, 2021
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, Ana C. M. Moraes
Systematic charge transport characterization of solution-processed graphene inks using ethyl cellulose polymer as a binder/stabilizer, showed graphene patterns with high mobility ( 160 cm2 V-1 s-1), low energy gap, thermally activated charge transport and

Antiferromagnetic VdW Phase at the Interface of Sputtered Topological Insulator/Ferromagnet Bi 2 Te 3 /Ni 80 Fe 2 0 Heterostructures

October 5, 2021
Author(s)
Felix Kim, Shawn P. Moylan, Thien Q. Phan, Edward Garboczi
Insufficient data are available to fully understand the effects of metal additive manufacturing (AM) defects for widespread adoption of the emerging technology. Characterization of failure processes of complex internal geometries and defects in metal AM

Structure and Dynamics of Star Polymer Films from Coarse-Grained Molecular Simulations

October 5, 2021
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Wengang Zhang, Francis W. Starr, Alexandros Chremos
We quantify the structure and dynamics in molecular simulations of star polymer films of varying arm mass Ma and number of star arms f on a supporting solid substrate with an attractive interaction and compare to the corresponding properties of thin films

MULTI-COLLECTOR CONFIGURATION CONSIDERATIONS AND SUBSTRATE RELATIVE SENSITIVITY FACTOR EFFECTS FOR AGE-DATING MEASUREMENTS OF PARTICLES BY LARGE GEOMETRY SECONDARY ION MASS SPECTROMETRY

October 1, 2021
Author(s)
Todd Williamson, David S. Simons, John D. Fassett
Chronometry (a.k.a age-dating, AD) of materials by bulk mass spectrometric methods is a well-established technique based on analysis protocols that have been used in geological fields and by the non-proliferation communities for many years. Recently, it

Lorenzo Fallarino, Eva Lopez Rojo, Mikel Quintana, Juan Sebastian Salcedo Gallo, Brian Kirby, Andreas Berger
We demonstrate a nanoscale materials design path that allows us to bypass universality in thin ferromagnetic films and enables us to tune the critical exponents of ferromagnetic phase transitions in a very wide parameter range, while at the same time

STEM-in-SEM: A Re-Emerging Material Measurement Approach

September 21, 2021
Author(s)
Bob R. Keller
Analytical STEM-in-SEM has undergone a striking resurgence in terms of both methodology development and applications over the past 10 to 15 years, driven in part by the significant technological potential promised by low-dimensional structures such as
