In this study, a nonuniform structure was created in a Zr-based metallic glass using lateral elastostatic preloading, which effectively suppressed shear band propagation and improved the relationship between strength and plasticity. Additionally, a stress-induced memory effect was observed during elastostatic loading. These findings have important implications for the rejuvenation and mechanical property improvement of metallic glasses.
Rejuvenation of metallic glasses (MGs) brings them in higher-energy states, which improves their mechanical properties. However, how to rejuvenate MGs through a fast and simple approach is still a challenge. In the present work, a nonuniform structure consisting of a center-relaxation region surrounded by an edge-gradient rejuvenation framework was created in a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) by lateral elastostatic preloading. Such a nonuniform structure greatly suppresses the rapid propagation of shear bands and has the potential to overcome the inverted relationship between strength and plasticity. More interestingly, we found a stress induced memory effect, viz., the recovery of relaxation enthalpy during elastostatic loading, which is quite different from the thermal-induced memory effect in previous works. This indicates a certain degree of equivalence between stress and temperature in the dynamics of MGs.

Effect of sulfamethazine on the horizontal transfer of plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance genes and its mechanism of action

Xiaojing Yan, Wenwen Liu, Shengfang Wen, Lanjun Wang, Lusheng Zhu, Jun Wang, Young Mo Kim, Jinhua Wang

Summary: Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are a new type of environmental pollutant that pose a significant global health challenge. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important route for ARGs spread. The use of sulfamethazine (SM2) as a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agent leads to high residual levels in the environment, increasing the spread of ARGs. This study found that SM2 at concentrations of 10 mg/L and 200 mg/L promoted the HGT of ARGs, but transfer frequency decreased at concentrations of 100 mg/L and 500 mg/L. The mechanism of SM2 improving conjugation transfer is through enhancement of conjugation gene and oxidative stress gene expression, inhibition of vertical transfer gene expression, up regulation of outer membrane protein gene expression, promotion of cell pore formation, and improvement of cell membrane permeability.

On the co-nucleation of adjoining twin pairs at grain boundaries in hexagonal close-packed materials

Darshan Bamney, Laurent Capolungo

Summary: This work investigates the formation of adjoining twin pairs (ATPs) at grain boundaries (GBs) in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals, focusing on the co-nucleation (CN) of pairs of deformation twins. A continuum defect mechanics model is proposed to study the energetic feasibility of CN of ATPs resulting from GB dislocation dissociation. The model reveals that CN is preferred over the nucleation of a single twin variant for low misorientation angle GBs. Further analysis considering GB character and twin system alignment suggests that CN events could be responsible for ATP formation even at low m' values.

Sharp/diffuse antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition regulated by atomic displacement ordering

Bing Han, Zhengqian Fu, Guoxiang Zhao, Xuefeng Chen, Genshui Wang, Fangfang Xu

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of electric-field induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition and reveals the evolution of atomic displacement ordering as the cause for the transition behavior changing from sharp to diffuse. The novel semi-ordered configuration results from the competing interaction between long-range displacement modulation and compositional inhomogeneity, which leads to a diffuse AFE-FE transition while maintaining the switching field.

The introduction of physics constraints accelerates the convergence of the neural network model and improves prediction accuracy, especially for small-scale datasets. Transfer learning is performed to capture complex in-plane deformation of crystals with any initial orientations, including cyclic loading and arbitrary non-monotonic loading.

Relating the combinatorial materials chip mapping to the glass-forming ability of bulk metallic glasses via diffraction peak width

Ze Liu, Cai Chen, Yuanxun Zhou, Lanting Zhang, Hong Wang

Summary: This study attempts to address the gap in cooling rates between thin film deposition and bulk metallic glass (BMG) casting by correlating the glass-forming range (GFR) determined from combinatorial materials chips (CMCs) with the glass-forming ability (GFA) of BMG. The results show that the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) is a good indicator of BMG GFA, and strong positive correlations between FWHM and the critical casting diameter (Dmax) are observed in various BMG systems. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficients suggest possible similarities in the GFA natures of certain BMG pairs.
