In the present study, a face-centered cubic non-equiatomic Cr26Mn20Fe20Co20Ni14 high-entropy alloy (HEA) with a low stacking fault energy of 17.6 mJ m−2 was prepared by vacuum induction melting, forging and annealing processes. The recrystallized sample is revealed to exhibit an excellent combination of strength and ductility over a wide temperature range of 4.2–293 K. With decreasing temperature from 293 to 77 K, the ductility and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) gradually increase by 30% to 95% and ...

It widely proves that the dual credit policy has positive influences on the penetrations of new energy vehicles (NEVs). But in reality car makers adopt which channel strategy and what conditions of acquiring NEV credits is not clear. To investigate the optimal channel strategy for firms' obtaining NEV credits, we consider a duopoly market consisting of a NEV firm, and a conventional vehicle (CV) firm capable of making both conventional vehicles and NEVs (also refer to a CV-NEV firm), and formulate ...

SnSe single crystals have gained great interest due to their excellent thermoelectric performance. However, polycrystalline SnSe is greatly desired due to facile processing, machinability, and scale-up application. Here, we report an outstanding high average ZT of 0.88 as well as a high peak ZT of 1.92 in solution-processed SnSe nanoplates. Nanosized boundaries formed by nanoplates and lattice strain created by lattice dislocations and stacking faults effectively scatter heat-carrying phonons, resulting ...

Genetically informed approaches have been implemented in neuroimaging studies to address this issue. However, the effects on functional connectivity of rare and common genetic risks for psychiatric disorders are largely unknown.

The coordinated configuration of atomic platinum (Pt) has always been identified as an active site with high intrinsic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we purposely synthesize single vacancies in a carbon matrix (defective graphene) that can trap atomic Pt to form the Pt-C3 configuration, which gives exceptionally high reactivity for HER in both acidic and alkaline solutions. The intrinsic activity of Pt-C3 site is valued with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 26.41 s-1 and mass activity ...

A nanotree-like WO3 film with a large specific surface area was prepared by the facile hydrothermal process. During the procedure, a hexagonal/monoclinic mixed WO3 was formed, and the prepared WO3 crystals contained some defects, including W5+ and oxygen vacancies. To induce more defects, we further performed a mild solution reduction in the solution of EG + NH4F at a relatively low temperature of 333 K. The reduction treatment did not change the surface morphology of the WO3 film. However, the defect ...

The decrease of the critical nucleation free energy and increase of homogeneous nucleation rate lead to the formation of PbSe quantum dots under high magnetic field. The enhanced density of states due to PbSe quantum dots causes significantly enhanced Seebeck coefficients and power factor. A large integral area of power factor over the full temperature range ...

Genomic copy number variants (CNVs) are routinely identified and reported back to patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, but their quantitative effects on essential traits such as cognitive ability are poorly documented. We have recently shown that the effect size of deletions on cognitive ability can be statistically predicted using measures of intolerance to haploinsufficiency. However, the effect sizes of duplications remain unknown. It is also unknown if the effect of multigenic CNVs are driven ...

Amorphous materials have no long-range order, but there are ordered structures at short range (2-5 Å), medium range (5-20 Å) and even longer length scales1-5. While regular6,7 and semiregular polyhedra8-10 are often found as short-range ordering in amorphous materials, the nature of medium-range order has remained elusive11-14. Consequently, it is difficult to determine whether there exists any structural link at medium range or longer length scales between the amorphous material and its crystalline ...

By using this concept, we successfully solved the paradox of high strength and high conductivity of copper contact wire in a high-speed train. ...

Here, a low‐concentration‐assisted heterogeneous nucleation strategy is reported for the direct growth of UMOFNs on reduced graphene oxides (rGO) surface with controllable orientations. This general strategy can be applied to construct various UMOFNs on rGO, including Co‐ZIF, Ni‐ZIF, Co, Cu‐ZIF and ...

This paper investigates the effect of gender on managerial authority and control over firms. The study examines S&P 1500 firms for the period of 1999–2014. Our findings suggest that accounting performance, firm value, CEO age, firm age, and board size reduce the likelihood of appointing female managers. On the other hand, the appointment of female CEOs is directly associated with the percentage of female directors, board independence, and beta. The study confirms the notion that female CEO appointments ...
