Twin‐Wire In Situ Additive Manufacturing of NiTiNb Eutectic Alloys: Eliminating Unmelted Nb Particles and Tailored Superelasticity

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A major challenge in fabricating eutectic NiTiNb alloys is the incomplete melting of Nb due to its much higher melting point than the NiTi matrix. In this work, a novel electron‐beam freeform additive manufacturing strategy is developed to eliminate unmelted Nb particles and achieve a fully eutectic structure through independent dual‐wire ...

Carrier and Phonon Engineering in Sb‐Doped Sn0.8Mn0.1Pb0.1Te: A Pathway to Superior Thermoelectric Performance

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SnTe is considered a potential alternative to PbTe for thermoelectric applications. However, excessive carrier concentration and thermal conductivity result in poor thermoelectric performance. Herein, p‐type SnTe‐based materials Sn0.8‐xMn0.1Pb0.1SbxTe were synthesized, and the combined effects of Sb, Mn, and Pb were systematically investigated.

Fermi Surface Structure Revealed by Quantum Oscillations in Half‐Heusler Semimetal LuAuSn

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Fermi surface structure in the half‐Heusler semimetallic compound LuAuSn was systematically investigated using quantum oscillation studies of high‐quality single crystals and first‐principles calculations. Clear bulk quantum oscillation signals were observed for multiple complementary physical properties, including magnetization, Hall ...

Cu‐Enhanced Medium‐Entropy TiZrCoCrMo Alloys: Balancing Superior Antibacterial and Osteogenic Properties for Orthopedic Implants

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces novel nonequiatomic TiZrCoCrMoCux (x = 0, 5, 10; at%) medium‐entropy alloys (MEAx) tailored for orthopedic implants, synergistically combining the biocompatibility of Ti‐based alloys, the wear resistance of CoCrMo alloys, and the antibacterial/osteogenic attributes of Cu. The alloy's microstructure, mechanical properties,

Ionic‐Liquid‐Assisted Synthesis of NiTe/CoTe Heterostructure With Te Vacancies in N, P, and F Co‐Doped Hollow Carbon Nanorods for Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution and High‐Performance Flexible Supercapacitors

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low conductivity, slow ion‐diffusion, and limited reactive sites are common problems in electrocatalysts and electrode materials. In this study, a complex NiTe–CoTe heterojunction with abundant Te vacancies embedded in N, P, and F co‐doped hollow carbon nanorods (NiTe1−x–CoTe1−x/NPFC) was fabricated via a simple ionic liquid‐assisted ...

Bifunctional Competitive Structure of Biomass Carbon‐Derived Metacomposites for Tunable ε′‐Near‐Zero and ε′‐Negative Responses

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regulating negative parameters of metacomposites is mainly limited by their unclear mechanisms, which affects their practical applications in new sensing, communication, electromagnetic (EM) protection and other fields. This work proposes a dual‐functional competitive design strategy based on the waste corncob‐derived carbon/polyaniline ...

Systematic Study of Fermi‐Level Pinning at Crystalline Metal/GaN Interfaces: First‐Principles Calculations and Diode Characterization

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Schottky barrier height (SBH), which serves as a pivotal determinant of charge carrier injection efficiency in electronic devices, critically governs electrical behavior at metal/semiconductor interfaces. However, pronounced metal‐induced gap states at metal contact interfaces induce Fermi‐level pinning, which constrains the ...

Structural lobbying power? An exploration of patterns in preference attainment at varying levels of lobbying activity

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of lobbying typically look at the extent to which interest groups realize political goals on issues they actively lobby for. Little is known, however, about the extent to which interest groups attain their political goals without making an active lobbying effort.
