Revisiting the Fundamental Metallicity Relation with Observation and Simulation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The gas-phase metallicity of galaxies is regulated by multiple astrophysical processes, which makes it a crucial diagnostic of galaxy formation and evolution.

Femtosecond Single‐ and Double‐Pulse Fabrication of Periodic Nanostructures on Stainless Steel for Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Periodic submicron features are fabricated on 304 stainless steel using single and double femtosecond laser pulses. By adjusting polarization, fluence, and inter‐pulse delay, 1D and 2D nanostructures are formed. Enhanced hydrophobicity and dense surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy hotspots enable analyte detection down to 10−10 M with good ...

Not Just Winds: Why Models Find That Binary Black Hole Formation Is Metallicity-dependent, while Binary Neutron Star Formation Is Not

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Both detailed and rapid population studies alike predict that binary black hole (BHBH) formation is orders of magnitude more efficient at low metallicity than high metallicity, while binary neutron star (NSNS) formation remains mostly flat with ...

Tribology of ZrC Coatings and Spherical Tips Acquired with Extraordinarily Stiff, Metal Atomic Force Microscopy Probes

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this research, ZrC coatings are evaluated against various counterprobes at the microscale using novel super‐stiff atomic force microscopy cantilevers. The chemical composition of the coating is shown to be an important factor influencing coating hardness and Young's modulus, while surface roughness, counterprobe hardness, and surface energy are the ...

The Metallicity Dependence of PAH Emission in Galaxies. I. Insights from Deep Radial Spitzer Spectroscopy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We use deep Spitzer mid-infrared spectroscopic maps of radial strips across three nearby galaxies with well-studied metallicity gradients (M101, NGC 628, and NGC 2403) to explore the physical origins of the observed deficit of polycyclic aromatic ...

Additive Manufacturing of Highly Alloyed Aluminum–Lithium

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Al–Li alloys, promising for future lightweight constructions due to their low density and high stiffness, are limited to 9 at% lithium in commercial forms because of segregation issues. To overcome this traditional limitation, powder bed fusion with an ultrashort pulse laser is used.

Metallicity Gradients and Gas Flows in Galaxy Pairs

open access: yes, 2010
We present the first systematic investigation into the metallicity gradients in galaxy close pairs. We determine the metallicity gradients for 8 galaxies in close pairs using HII region metallicities obtained with high signal-to-noise multi-slit ...

The Effect of Elastic–Plastic Mismatch and Interface Proximity on the Fracture Toughness of Ti‐TiN Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Multilayering of TiN film with metallic Ti film is adopted to enhance the fracture resistance of TiN thin films. Plastic dissipation within Ti with process zone size of ≈250 nm, along with elastic–plastic mismatch driven changes to crack driving force enhances the crack growth resistance by ten times, enabling physics informed design of optimized ...
