A better understanding of magnetoelectric (ME) energy materials with superior properties stimulates exploration of next generation of versatile energy devices with a high efficiency. Although a number of investigations have focused on developing multiferroic composite materials because of their potential in cutting-edge multifunctional devices, advances in basic research have not yet been translated into benefits for practical applications. In the present investigation, we introduce a two-phase magnetoelectric composite made of nanocrystalline FeBSi metallic ribbons (Metglas) and Mn3+,(2+) acceptor doped Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PMN-PZT) single crystal, and great enhancements in ME coupling coefficient (alpha(ME) similar to 12500 V/Oe cm) with a tunable resonance frequency, current-to-voltage (I-V) conversion ratio (similar to 15090 V/I), as well as power conversion efficiency (eta similar to 95%) are found at the fundamental electromechanical resonance, which represent the highest values ever reported. This study also provides a fundamental understanding of the role of a figure of merit (FOM), k(ij, eff) x Q(m,eff), on ME coupling performances in ferromagnetic and ferroelectric two-phase ME composite. The enhanced performances are attributed to the laser heat treatment induced Nano crystallization in Metglas, lower magnetic and dielectric loss (tan delta), and also higher mechanical quality factor (Q(m,eff)) in ME composite. This research opens up the possibilities of developing ME composite materials for next-generation versatile energy and power conversion devices.

Characterization of Prochloraz Resistance in Fusarium fujikuroi from Heilongjiang Province in China

Qin Peng, Muhammad Waqas Younas, Jikun Yang, Hongwei Zhu, Jianqiang Miao, Biao Gu, Xili Liu

Summary: This study investigated the development of Prochloraz resistance in Fusarium fujikuroi and analyzed the fitness of different resistant strains. The majority of the F. fujikuroi strains collected from Heilongjiang Province showed resistance to Prochloraz, with a resistance frequency of 92.1%. The resistant strains demonstrated higher disease severity and there was no cross-resistance between Prochloraz and other tested fungicides. These results indicate that Prochloraz resistance in F. fujikuroi is severe and could potentially lead to yield loss.
