Thermodynamics is a science concerning the state of a system, whether it is stable,
metastable or unstable, when interacting with the surroundings. In this overview …

As the core component of any real thermoelectric cooling system, the Bi 2 Te 3-based
modules have been used for decades. Recently, n-type Mg 3 (Bi, Sb) 2 material was …

High entropy alloys (HEAs) consist of multiple elements present in large proportions that are
randomly distributed on a crystal lattice. On the one hand, the presence of multiple elements …

Inspired by the success of the Li-ion SSEs, considerable efforts have recently been made on
the development of Na-ion sulfidebased SSEs. Glass-ceramic electrolyte Na3PS4[7a, 10] …

Cross phenomena, representing responses of a system to external stimuli, are ubiquitous
from quantum to macro scales. The Onsager theorem is often used to describe them, stating …

Owing to the partial dislocation assisted twinning and/or displacive transformation upon
stress loading, metastable high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and their interstitial variants have …

A mechanical constitutive relationship is the basis for the design and application of structural
materials, and the establishment of a mechanical constitutive relationship generally relies on …

Unprecedented interest has been spurred recently in two-dimensional (2D) layered
transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) that possess tunable electronic and optical …

Because atoms in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) coordinate in very different and distorted local
environments in the lattice sites, even for the same type of constituent, their point defects …

Ordered heterostructured nanocrystals with large compositional and morphological diversity
are important for many applications. However, design of multicomponent nanostructures at …
