Multiphase Identification Through Automatic Classification from Large-Scale Nanoindentation Mapping Compared to an EBSD-Machine Learning Approach by Carl Slater, Bharath Bandi, Pedram Dastur, Claire Davis

“…The proposed nanoindentation mapping technique does not show operator sensitivity and enables the quantification of additional microstructural features, such as identifying and quantifying ferrite regions with a high density of mobile dislocations and the degree of martensite tempering.…”

Preliminary Study on ODS Alloy for Integrated Fast Reactor by LI Jing1, LI Junhong2, FENG Wei2, XIONG Liangyin1, LIU Shi1, LIU Yizhe2, LI Yiyi1, ZHOU Peide2

“…Due to the strong pinning to dislocations and grain boundaries as well as the available capturing of displaced atoms and helium bubbles, by oxide nanoparticles, oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys exhibit superior high-temperature mechanical properties, irradiation swelling resistance and corrosion resistance. …”

Antiphase boundary-free III–V materials epitaxially grown on on-axis silicon (001) substrates by ultra-thin silicon buffer by Xuanchang Zhang, Huiwen Deng, Haotian Zeng, Hui Jia, Mengxun Bai, Danqi Lei, Hexing Wang, Liwei Cao, Junjie Yang, Taylor Stock, Wei Li, Siming Chen, Alwyn Seeds, Huiyun Liu, Mingchu Tang

“…We identify wave-shaped Sb edge steps as key to APB self-annihilation and demonstrate that an ultra-thin Si buffer effectively suppresses APBs while minimizing thermal strain. In addition, we evaluate Ar plasma treatment, showing that it enables APB-free GaAs growth, with a Si buffer further enhancing step periodicity and reducing TD density. …”
