Summary: The structure of ferroelectric 0.06LiNbO(3)-0.94K(0.5)Na(0.5)NbO(3) (KNNL6) was investigated by neutron total scattering method, revealing a transition in structure from a two-phase mixture at room temperature to different phases at higher temperatures. Additionally, the characterization of local structure by the pair distribution function (PDF) method shows that the local structure remains monoclinic over the same temperature range, with smaller changes in oxygen octahedral distortion compared to the long-range average structure.

Summary: Time-resolved diffuse scattering experiments are becoming more popular due to their ability to reveal nonequilibrium dynamics of crystal lattice vibrations with full momentum resolution. Researchers have developed a rigorous approach for calculating the all-phonon inelastic scattering intensity of solids from first-principles, showing that multiphonon interactions can be captured efficiently by exploiting crystal symmetries. The results demonstrate the predictive power of the method in calculating scattering patterns of various materials and provide insights into the dominating role of multiphonon excitations in different crystal structures.

Summary: Inelastic scattering experiments are crucial for mapping fundamental excitations of solids, with a particular focus on the role of multiphonon processes for phonon excitations. A new first-principles methodology has been developed to calculate the all-phonon quantum mechanical structure factor of solids, demonstrating the significance of multiphonon processes in the scattering patterns of black phosphorus. This approach represents a significant step towards interpreting static and time-resolved electron, x-ray, and neutron inelastic scattering data.

Summary: High pressure is a powerful thermodynamic tool in exploring crystalline structure and phase behavior, but local structure measurements using neutron diffraction have been limited by the presence of a pressure-transmitting medium (PTM). This study introduces a method to subtract the influence of PTM and successfully obtain high-pressure PDFs for crystalline materials. Corrected high-pressure PDFs of simple crystalline materials and the first local structure determination of alpha-quartz under hydrostatic pressure are demonstrated.

Summary: Glass transition temperature is a crucial characteristic for describing the behavior of polymeric materials. The conformational entropy increase during glass transition affects the phonon density of states. Low-frequency Raman features, including the Boson peak and van Hove peak, and quasi-elastic Rayleigh scattering, contribute to the broad disorder band below 100 cm (-1) in amorphous materials. The temperature dependence of the ratio of integrated intensity near the Boson peak to that of the van Hove peak shows a kink at the glass transition temperature, indicating a change in the phonon density of states.

Summary: Ice polymorphs exhibit diverse structures and physical properties under pressure and temperature changes. Determining the disordered structure in these ice polymorphs has been challenging due to limited observable space and inaccuracies in high-pressure techniques. This study elucidates the unique disordered structure of ice VII, the dominant high-pressure form of water, using single-crystal and powder neutron-diffraction techniques. The findings reveal a ring-like distribution of hydrogen atoms contrary to the commonly accepted discrete sites, shedding light on the structural origin of the anomalous physical properties of ice VII under pressure.

Summary: Characterizing the extent of cure kinetics in polymers is crucial for understanding their structure-property-processing relationships. This study demonstrates a novel and non-destructive method of measuring polymerization kinetics using low-frequency Raman spectroscopy. By analyzing the disorder band and its shoulder in the spectrum, both structural and chemical conversion kinetics can be obtained. The results show a relationship between the chemical and structural kinetics, which may be related to the material's softness.

Summary: This paper provides arguments for the use of the rational form of unitarization and its relation to the shrinkage of the diffraction peak and the asymptotics of the inelastic cross-section. The specific issues of the Regge model and the exponential form of unitarization with a factorized eikonal are also discussed, with emphasis on the central role played by the asymptotic amplitude factorization resulting from Mandelstam analyticity and its symmetry over the scattering variables.

Summary: Despite decades of studies, the nature of the glass transition remains elusive. Fragility, which describes the sharpness of dynamical arrest at the glass transition, is inversely correlated with the medium-range order structure characterized by the average medium-range distance (MRD). Low MRD values indicate an excess of unstable small network rings in glasses, which deform more readily with temperature changes and increase fragility.

Summary: Due to the significance of glass materials in society, research on their durability in aqueous solutions is crucial, especially in regards to vitrified radioactive wastes. An international team created a standardized composition called the International Simple Glass (ISG) for waste immobilization glass, which has been extensively studied for its resistance to aqueous corrosion. With the depletion of the original batch of ISG, the team designed and fabricated ISG-2 with half of the Ca replaced by Mg. This paper presents information on both ISG-2 and a new batch, ISG-1, with the same composition as the original ISG, including their homogeneity and physical and thermal properties.

Summary: Glass properties are affected by the interplay between network formers and network modifiers, where the ratio of different cationic modifiers compensating anionic species in the network, known as the mixed modifier effect (MME), has a significant nonlinear impact. The MME of sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) in an aluminosilicate (NCAS) glass series was investigated. It was found that hardness, indentation toughness, and aqueous corrosion resistance showed a nonadditive trend, while the network structure determined by molecular dynamics simulations did not exhibit a significant trend with composition. Moreover, the NCAS glass with an intermediate range of [Na2O] and [CaO] content showed superior wear resistance at high humidity, demonstrating the MME phenomenon observed in soda-lime silica.

Summary: Evaluation of Ti-6Al-4V material deposited by AFSD on rolled Ti-64 base plate revealed different stress-strain responses between base plate and AFSD regions. Microstructure gradients observed by optical microscopy and spatially resolved PXRD rationalized these differences. AFSD regions exhibited a characteristic basket weave α-Ti microstructure, while the base plate showed a globular α+6 microstructure. Control of prior 6 microstructure using targeted deposition parameters will be critical for achieving desired properties using AFSD with titanium alloys.

Summary: We report a catalyst with vanadium oxide dispersed onto hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), which catalyzes the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) via the Eley-Rideal mechanism and the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism. The results show that loading 0.5wt% V significantly improves the yield of light alkene. Adding an appropriate concentration of nitric oxide further enhances the catalytic performance. This provides a potential strategy for developing efficient h-BN-based catalysts for ODHP by coupling gas-phase and surface reactions.

Summary: Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool for investigating the atomic-scale structures of complex materials, its reliable and accurate application to multi-component glass systems faces challenges due to limited force fields (FFs) and the complexity of chemical environments. This study demonstrates the feasibility of efficient and accurate large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations for multi-component glass systems. The evaluation of classical FFs based on the results of large-scale DFT calculations reveals low accuracy for non-bridging oxygen atoms, and differences in Si-O-Si angle distribution and electronic structure for X = Mg.

Summary: In this study, vanadium oxide xerogel samples were successfully synthesized through a liquid phase reaction and the interaction of films with water. The samples were thoroughly analyzed using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, revealing the existence of two distinct phases. It was also discovered that previous misinterpretations regarding the high-pressure polymorph structure were due to the formation of a high-temperature phase. These findings highlight the potential for further refining and expanding the current structural models of vanadium oxide xerogel in future research efforts.
