Vertically Graded FeNi Alloys with Low Damping and a Sizeable Spin-Orbit Torque

June 14, 2024
Author(s)
Rachel Maizel, Shuang Wu, Purnima P. Balakrishnan, Alexander Grutter, Christy Kinane, Andrew Caruana, Prabandha Nakarmi, Bhuwan Nepal, David Smith, Youngmin Lim, Juila Jones, Wyatt Thomas, Jing Zhao, F. Michel, Tim Mewes, Satoru Emori
Energy-efficient spintronic devices require a large spin-orbit torque (SOT) and low damping to excite magnetic precession. In conventional devices with heavy-metal/ferromagnet bilayers, reducing the ferromagnet thickness to ∼1 nm enhances the SOT but drama

Williams
Reproducibility and validation are major hurdles for scientific development across many fields. Materials science in particular encompasses a variety of experimental and theoretical approaches that require careful benchmarking. Leaderboard efforts have

An Interlaboratory Study for Assessing Repeatability and Reproducibility of the Data Generated by Rotating Drum Powder Rheometers Part 1: Granudrum

May 3, 2024
Author(s)
Vipin Tondare, Justin Whiting, Adam L. Pintar, Shawn P. Moylan, Aurelien Neveu, Filip Francqui
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) organized an interlaboratory study to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of the data generated by two commercially available rotating drum powder rheometers namely, Granudrum and

Microstructural effects on the rotating bending fatigue behavior of Ti-6Al-4V produced via laser powder bed fusion with novel heat treatments

April 30, 2024
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Jake Benzing, David Newton, Chad Beamer, Ping Lu, Frank DelRio, Newell Moser, Orion Kafka, Ryan Fishel, Lucas Koepke, Chris Hadley, Nik Hrabe
The rotating bending fatigue (RBF) behavior (fully reversed, R = -1) of additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V alloy produced via laser powder bed fusion (PBF-L) was investigated with respect to different microstructures achieved through novel heat

Operando XPS for Plasma Process Monitoring: A Case Study on the Hydrogenation of Copper Oxide Confined under h-BN

April 29, 2024
Author(s)
Trey Diulus, Andrew Naclerio, J. Anibal Boscoboinik, Ashley Head, Evgheni Strelcov, Piran Kidambi, Andrei Kolmakov
We demonstrate that ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) can be used for in situ studies of dynamic changes in surface chemistry in a plasma environment. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was used in this study as a model system since it

Self-Assembly of Hierarchical High-h Fluorinated Block Copolymers with an Orthogonal Smectic-within-Lamellae 3 nm Sub-Lattice and Vertical Surface Orientation

April 16, 2024
Author(s)
Bijal Patel, Hongbo Feng, Whitney Loo, Chad R. Snyder, Christopher Eom, Julia Murphy, Daniel Sunday, Paul Nealey, Dean DeLongchamp
Hierarchical structure-within-structure assemblies offer a route toward increasingly complex and multifunctional materials while pushing the limits of block copolymer self-assembly. We present a detailed study of the self-assembly of a series of

Evaluating Models That Predict Epoxy Conversion Using Rheological Properties

April 15, 2024
Author(s)
Stian Romberg, Paul Roberts, Chad R. Snyder, Anthony Kotula
Simultaneous rheology and conversion measurements of neat and composite epoxy resins reveal that conventional models neither accurately nor fully describe the relationship between rheology and conversion. We find that models predicting thermoset conversion

Investigation of melt pool dynamics and solidification microstructures of laser melted Ti-6Al-4V powder using X-ray synchrotron imaging

April 10, 2024
