Summary: The study focuses on the effect of Fe addition on the Curie temperature and magnetic entropy change of Gd-based amorphous alloys. It is found that adding 5% Fe can increase the Curie temperature to 281 K, mainly due to the enhanced 3d-3d interaction of transition elements caused by Fe addition. The maximum value of magnetic entropy change is 3.24 J/(kg • K) under a field of 5 T. The results are expected to provide guidance for improving the room temperature magnetic entropy change of Gd-based amorphous alloys.

Summary: Efficiency is limited by waste heat generation and accumulation. Current insulation and heat removal elements based on linear thermal elements cannot avoid heat accumulation. Thermal rectifiers have potential in managing heat unidirectionally. This study investigates the thermal transport in La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xCoxO3 system and implements thermal diodes based on this material, achieving nonlinear heat transport with rectification factors up to 2.3.

Summary: Nanocrystalline Ba1-xSrxTiO3 powders exhibit enhanced piezocatalytic activity, with compositions x = 0.2 showing the best performance. The piezocatalytic activity of Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 is found to increase initially and then decrease with increasing temperature, peaking near its Curie temperature. The mechanism is suggested to be influenced by both the Sr content and the activation energy at ferro-paraelectric phase transition.

Summary: The simultaneous achievement of large piezoelectricity and excellent thermal stability in a piezoceramic material is highly desired for advanced high-temperature electromechanical coupling devices. In this study, a novel zBiScO3-xBiInO3-yPbTiO3 ternary perovskite piezoceramic material was used to achieve a large high-temperature piezoelectric coefficient with a small fluctuation rate over a wide temperature range. The optimal composition of the perovskite ceramics showed excellent high-temperature piezoelectric properties and stability, making them suitable for harsh elevated temperature electromechanical coupling applications.

Summary: The partial substitution of Fe by Co in Fe83.2-xCoxB10C6Cu0.8 amorphous alloys expands the crystallization window, increases the Curie temperature, and affects the magnetic properties. Co doping regulates the first increase and then decrease of saturation magnetization, achieving a maximum value with 6 at.% Co doping. This study demonstrates the potential of Co doping in improving the magnetic properties of Fe-based amorphous alloys.

Summary: The study systematically investigated the Curie temperature (Tc) and magnetic entropy change (-Delta S-m) of Tb-Co metallic glasses and their relationship to alloy composition. It was found that the non-linear compositional dependence of Tb-Co interaction due to the existence of orbital momentum in Tb may explain the non-linear relationship between Tc and Tb content, as well as the maximum -Delta S-m vs. Tc -2/3 plots in Tb-Co binary amorphous alloys.
