The work function is a fundamental electronic property of a solid that varies with the facets of
a crystalline surface. It is a crucial parameter in spectroscopy as well as materials design …

Attributed to their superior properties over the conventional alloys, high-entropy alloys
(HEAs) have attracted considerable interest. One of HEAs' attractive properties is their high …

Heavy tungsten carbide (WC) may cause inhomogeneous distributions in WC-metal matrix
composite hardfacing overlays, thus negatively affecting its performance as reinforcement …

High-entropy diborides (HEBs) have attracted extensive research due to their potential ultra-
high hardness. In the present work, the effects of transition metals (TM) on lattice …

Using nickel added X70 steel as a sample material, we demonstrate that electron work
function (EWF), which largely reflects the electron behavior of materials, could be used as a …

Electron work function (EWF) has demonstrated its great promise in materials analysis and
design, particularly for single-phase materials, eg, solute selection for optimal solid-solution …

The surface energies and work functions for ten kinds of Miller-indices surfaces of
hexagonal metals, Be, Mg, Tc, Re, Ru, and Os are calculated by means of the density …

Electron work function (EWF) is a simple and fundamental parameter which largely reflects
or characterizes the behavior of electrons in metals. This parameter can be used to guide …

Abstract Effects of graphite (Gr) content on the dry sliding wear, solid-particle erosion and
corrosive wear of Al6061based hybrid nano-composites fabricated via powder metallurgy …

Local electron work function, adhesive force, modulus and deformation of ferrite and
austenite phases in a duplex stainless steel were analyzed by scanning force microscopy. It …
