Summary: Oxide-dispersion-strengthened CoCrNi alloys were synthesized through in situ oxidation and non-in-situ oxidation methods, resulting in Y-ODS and Y2O3-ODS alloys, respectively. Characterizations using TEM and APT revealed that both alloys consisted of an ultrafine-grained fcc matrix, nanoscale Y-Ti-O precipitates, and a small number of (Cr0.75Ti0.25)2O3 oxides. However, the Y-Ti-O precipitates in the two alloys exhibited different phase and microstructure, with Y2TiO5 and Y2Ti2O7 nanoparticles in Y2O3-ODS and Y-ODS alloys, respectively. The Y-ODS alloy displayed an ultrahigh yield strength of 1660 MPa, 320 MPa higher than the Y2O3-ODS alloy, while maintaining the same ductility. Quantitative analysis revealed that the presence of coherent Y2Ti2O7 nanoprecipitates in the Y-ODS alloy contributed to this significant difference in strength. This study provides valuable insights into the design of ODS high/medium-entropy alloys via in situ oxidation during mechanical alloying and consolidation.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of La2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 on its phase transformation behavior, phase stability, and microstructure. It was found that replacing part of Y2O3 with La2O3 increases the tetragonal and cubic phase of zirconia powder, enhancing the fracture strength of the subsequent synthesized materials. Additionally, the stability of zirconia stabilized with La2O3 doping is significantly improved compared to that of Y2O3 alone. The optimal doping amount was found to be 2.8Y0.2La, which exhibited the best phase composition, stability, particle size distribution, and dispersion degree.

Summary: The article investigates the cracking and oxidation processes in nanolayer coatings of (Cr,Y,Al)N and (Mo,Y, Al)N with a high content of yttrium (Y). The wear resistance of the (Mo,Y,Al)N coated tool was found to be 45% higher than the (Cr,Y,Al)N coated tool and 30% higher than the (Ti,Cr,Al)N reference coated tool. The (Cr,Y,Al)N coating showed active formation of cracks, while oxidation wear dominated in the (Mo,Y,Al)N coating. Therefore, coatings with materials characterized by increased tendency to oxidize can be effectively used if oxidation-resistant layers protect the oxidation-prone layers from active contact with oxygen.

Summary: In this study, SiC fiber and Yb2SiO5 composites were processed using the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method. Different types of interfaces were achieved by adjusting the sintering temperature. It was found that the thermal expansion mismatch between Yb2SiO5 and SiC led to high interface stress, and the high temperature and electric field also had an effect on the interface. The study suggests that introducing the Yb2Si2O7-Yb2SiO5 phase can adjust the interfacial parameters and optimize the mechanical properties of the material.

Summary: This study investigates the temperature-dependent structural and mechanical/thermal property evolution of multicomponent rare-earth zirconates. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to reproduce the experimental results. It is found that with increasing temperature, the polyhedrons deform more, resulting in reduced mechanical properties and thermal conductivities.

Summary: The demand for more powerful aircraft has led to the development of ceramic matrix composites and environmental barrier coatings (EBC). A promising EBC material called ytterbium oxide (Yb2O3) was fabricated through hot pressing and its properties were systematically investigated. The evaluation of its thermal properties provides a baseline for its application on SiCf/SiC or Al2O3f/Al2O3 composites. The material exhibits excellent durability in harsh environments such as water vapor and molten calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate (CMAS). The thermochemical interactions between ytterbium oxide and CMAS were found to be drastically different from rare-earth silicates due to the absence of silicon oxide. The reaction of ytterbium oxide with CMAS forms a variety of reaction products, including apatite, garnet, and silicocarnotite. The crystallization of garnet and silicocarnotite effectively consumes and solidifies the CMAS melt, preventing further corrosion.

Summary: Two high entropy pyrochlores (HEPs), Gd2(Ti0.2Zr0.2Sn0.2Hf0.2Ta0.2)2O7 and Gd2(Ti0.2Zr0.2Sn0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2)2O7, were irradiated with 800 keV Kr2+ ions and observed by in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The order-to-disorder phase transformation from pyrochlore to fluorite structure was observed in these HEPs and Gd2Sn2O7 through selected area electron diffraction (SAED), high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mapping. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to determine the cation antisite defect (CAD) formation energy and the electron localization function (ELF). Both experimental and calculated results indicate that HEPs have higher resistance to phase transformation and amorphization compared to Gd2Sn2O7.

Summary: Photocatalytic technology utilizing sunlight as a driving force can convert solar energy into other energy sources for storage and use. CdS, as a typical reducing semiconductor, has attracted attention in photocatalysis due to its suitable bandgap and strong reducing ability. However, the photocatalytic performance of CdS is limited by carrier recombination and photocorrosion. Therefore, CdS has been widely developed as a reducing photocatalyst in constructing S-scheme heterojunctions to overcome these limitations.

Summary: A novel compliant spinal fixation based on compliant mechanisms is designed to effectively reduce stress-shielding effect and adjacent segment degeneration (ASD), but it requires high properties of the used materials. Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), as young biomaterials, demonstrate excellent comprehensive properties, making them attractive for compliant spinal fixation. In this study, the large deflection deformation behaviors of Zr61Ti2Cu25Al12 (at.%, ZT1) BMG beam were systematically investigated, including elastic, yielding, and plastic deformations. The theoretical nonlinear analytical solution curve predicts the load-deflection relation within the elastic deformation regime and assists in capturing the yielding event, serving as a powerful design tool for engineers. To accurately capture the beginning of the yielding event in biomedical implant applications, the concept of bending proof strength (sigma p,0.05%) with tiny permanent strain of 0.05% was proposed and determined, which is significant for setting the allowable operating limits of the basic flexible elements. The plastic deformation driven by the bending moment can be classified into two stages: the initial stage characterized by nucleation and intense interaction of shear bands, and the second stage dominated by the progressive propagation of shear bands and emergence of shear offsets. The plasticity of BMG beam structures depends on the BMG's inherent plastic zone size (rp), and when the half beam thickness is less than that of rp, the plastic deformation of BMGs behaves in a stable manner, effectively serving as the margin of safety.

Summary: Fe-based metallic glasses are promising materials in the fields of advanced magnetism and sensors. This study proposes a novel approach to tailor the amorphous structure through liquid-liquid phase transition, and provides insights into the correlation between structural disorder and magnetic order. The results show that the liquid-liquid phase transition can induce more locally ordered nanodomains, leading to stronger exchange interactions and increased saturation magnetization. The increased local heterogeneity also enhances magnetic anisotropy, resulting in a better stress-impedance effect.

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks derived composites are promising EMW absorbers. Cation substitution can improve their absorption performance by regulating morphology and atomic space occupation. However, the mechanisms of how cation substitution affects EMW absorption performance are still not well understood. In this study, imidazolic MOFs were fabricated and tailored by cation substitution strategy to prepare porous composites. The samples showed optimal reflection loss and effective absorption bandwidth values under low filling rate and thin thickness conditions. The intercoupling between multiple atoms and the porous structure introduced by cation substitution contribute to the improved absorption performance.
