The Fierce Morphological Battle of Silver Nanoparticles: How Irregularities, Vacancies and Defects Tip the Crossing Sizes

Small, EarlyView.
The silver nanoparticle morphologies are identified thanks to ab initio models, including original families of defects and complex motifs, compared to measurements provided at targeted sizes (309, 561, 742, and 923 atoms). The crossings between structures to within a few atoms have been predicted due to very accurate computational conditions, which are

A Dynamic Surface Metal‐Organic Framework Electrocatalyst: Potential‐Driven Activation of Atomically Defined Au Sites for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Small, EarlyView.
Operando EC‐STM reveals that an NHC‐based SMOF on Au(111), initially frozen in interconnected 1D chains, dynamically reconfigures under cathodic bias into a fluxional structure bearing undercoordinated Au sites while abstracting Au atoms from the support.

A Polar Topology Network Induces Elastic Stiffening in Ferroelectric Oxide Superlattices

Small, EarlyView.
The periodicity in BiFeO3/SrTiO3 superlattices tunes the system into a dense, elastically constrained polar texture state. This topology‐rich regime reveals a collective mechanical response in which interactions among polar topological defects restrict local deformations, producing a pronounced elastic stiffening.

The First Electrochemical Cycle: State‐of‐Charge Dependent Formation and Evolution of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase on Hard Carbon Anodes in Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Small Methods, EarlyView.
The formation and evolution of the solid electrolyte interphase on hard carbon electrodes is tracked at defined states of charge during the first galvanostatic cycle in sodium half‐cells. Combining SEM/EDS, XPS, ToF‐SIMS, SECM, and c‐AFM reveals how the SEI's morphology, chemistry, and interfacial reactivity develop during sodiation and partially ...

HWTS 50 Tool Steel Tailored for Laser Powder Bed Fusion: Sliding Wear of Bare Surfaces and Nitriding Response in Comparison with 18Ni300 and AISI H13

steel research international, EarlyView.
This work investigates the wear resistance and nitriding behavior of PBF‐LB/M‐processed Osprey HWTS 50, a lean hot work tool steel. Three heat treatment conditions are compared to conventional wrought H13, H11, and PBF‐LB/M 18Ni300. The study highlights HWTS 50's enhanced nitrogen diffusion, deeper nitriding hardness depth, and comparable or improved ...

Microstructure Characterization of Bending Effects in 304L Stainless Steel Cladded with Low‐Alloy Steel Weld

steel research international, EarlyView.
Prebending of 304L/Q345R cladded plates significantly alters the subsequent weld thermal cycle and modifies the local interfacial microstructure. Combined electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and microscopy analysis demonstrates that deformation twinning, martensitic transformation, and defect initiation are concentrated at the trimaterial junction,

Near‐Atomic Investigation on the Elemental Redistribution During Coprecipitation of Nano‐Sized Kappa‐Type and B2 Precipitates in an Al‐Alloyed Lightweight Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
Elemental redistribution during coprecipitation of kappa (κ)‐type and B2 precipitates in an Al‐alloyed lightweight steel is revealed by atom probe tomography (APT) and density functional theory (DFT). Fe and Ni redistribution promotes the evolution of B2 phase from NiAl‐type toward FeAl‐type and improves the stability of κ and B2 phases during ...

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Deformation and strength of grouted sleeve connectors in pre‐fabricated concrete structures: Mechanisms and analytical modeling

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted sleeve connectors (GSCs) are widely used in precast/prefabricated concrete structures. To ensure force transfer, connectors are often overdesigned in length. This practice has an unintended consequence of reducing the plastic deformation capacity of the connection region and hence the displacement ductility of the precast structure as ...
