Structure and Electronic Properties of InSb Nanowires Grown in Flexible Polycarbonate Membranes

The article explores the various factors that affect nucleation and nanowire growth. A dense array of vertically aligned indium antimonide (InSb) nanowires with high aspect ratio were grown in the pores of a track-etched polycarbonate membrane via a one-step electrochemical method.

On the evolving nature of c/a ratio in a hexagonal close-packed epsilon martensite phase in transformative high entropy alloys (open access)

On the evolving nature of c/a ratio in a hexagonal close-packed epsilon martensite phase in transformative high entropy alloys

Article studying c/a ratio and transformation volume change of h.c.p. (hexagonal close packed) epsilon martensite phase in transformative high entropy alloys (HEAs) quantified as functions of alloy chemistry, friction stir processing and tensile deformation. The study reveals that while intrinsic c/a is dependent on alloying elements, c/a of epsilon in transformative HEAs changes with processing and deformation.

Corrosion Behavior of Selectively Laser Melted CoCrFeMnNi High Entropy Alloy (open access)

Corrosion Behavior of Selectively Laser Melted CoCrFeMnNi High Entropy Alloy

The article focuses on a study that widens the toolbox to manufacture HEAs with exceptional corrosion resistance by additive manufacturing. CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloys (HEAs) were additively manufactured (AM) by laser powder bed fusion and their corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was studied by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. A systematic study of AM CoCrFeMnNi HEAs’ porosity under a wide range of laser processing parameters was conducted and a processing map was constructed to identify the optimal laser processing window for CoCrFeMnNi HEAs.
