Polar Wurtzite NbAlN: A Transition‐Metal Nitride Alloy for Polarization‐Engineered GaN Heterostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel polar wurtzite alloy, NbAlN, is demonstrated as a transition‐metal‐containing polar barrier for GaN heterostructures. Nb atoms form coherent nanoscale enrichment within the wurtzite lattice without disrupting metal polarity. This study demonstrates that transition metals can be integrated into polar nitrides to enable polarization‐related ...

Elasticity‐Driven Periodic Polarization Patterns in a Chiral Ferroelectric Nematic Fluid

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Chiral polar ferroelectric nematic fluids exhibit spontaneous formation of stripe, square, and hexagonal polarization textures under confinement. Controlled by thickness and anchoring, these patterns produce spatially modulated nonlinear optical responses.

Synergistic strengthening driven by boundary-dislocation architectures in hot-rolled NiV7 alloy

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
Single-phase NiV7 alloy plates were hot-rolled at 900 °C, 1050 °C and 1200 °C, respectively. Electron-backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analyses reveal that elevating the rolling temperature enlarges the average grain size from 18.2 μm to 32.5 μm and ...
