The growth evolution of SnSe-doped SnTe alloy by in-situ selenization substitution method

In the era of increasing environmental pollution and energy crisis, the development of thermoelectric materials to achieve the reuse of waste heat energy is of great significance. SnTe, as an environmentally friendly thermoelectric material, its high electronic-thermal conductivity and coupled high electrical conductivity originated from intrinsic high carrier hole concentration leads to the unsatisfactory thermoelectric properties. With a lot of research going on to optimize thermoelectric performance by decoupling the thermo-electrical contradiction, the entropy engineering strategy, which can independently modulate lattice thermal conductivity is proved to be feasible by increasing the internal configurational entropy through doping. However, due to the uncontrollable growth microscopic process and the perturbation of film quality, the desired precise phase doping remains a challenge. In this work, we report an instantiation of the entropy increase of SnSe-doped SnTe alloy thin films prepared by two-step magnetron sputtering and selenization method. The microstructure and physical properties of thin films were investigated for replaying and controlling the growth evolution of in-situ selenization substitution. When the reaction temperature and duration were adjusted to 300℃ and 30 mins respectively, the desired pure phase doping was obtained. This work provides a new method of doping modification of SnTe materials, and the product as a new functional material expands the thermoelectric material library. In particular, it has positive reference significance for the development of synthesis controllability and structure establishment of complex polycrystalline materials.

Accelerated multi-property discovery of promising Fe-Si-Al magnetic alloys

Fe-Si binary alloys are one of the most widely used magnetic materials, while some ternary Fe-Si-Al alloys also have excellent magnetic properties and high electrical resistivity. However, none of these alloy compositions meet the multiple superior properties needed in next generation electrical motors. Hence, there is an urgent need to identify novel Fe-Si-Al alloy compositions with a good property set. Compositionally graded materials libraries of Fe-xSi-yAl (x = 3, 7, 9; 0 ≤ y ≤ 8, in wt%) were prepared by mechanical alloying and high throughput spark plasma sintering. The structural, magnetic, mechanical, and electrical properties were rapidly assessed and found to vary significantly with composition. Four promising compositions were down selected based on rapid characterization and property evaluation of the materials libraries. Validation studies of these compositions revealed that the Fe-7Si-8Al composition exhibited an attractive combination of properties. Thus, an accelerated methodology was used to discover new attractive alloy compositions for rotating electrical machines.

The Development and Atomic Structure of Zinc Oxide Crystals Grown within Polymers from Vapor Phase Precursors.

Sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS), also known as vapor phase infiltration (VPI), is a quickly expanding technique that allows growth of inorganic materials within polymers from vapor phase precursors. With an increasing materials library, which encompasses numerous organometallic precursors and polymer chemistries, and an expanding application space, the importance of understanding the mechanisms that govern SIS growth is ever increasing. In this work, we studied the growth of polycrystalline ZnO clusters and particles in three representative polymers: poly(methyl methacrylate), SU-8, and polymethacrolein using vapor phase diethyl zinc and water. Utilizing two atomic resolution methods, high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we probed the evolution of ZnO nanocrystals size and crystallinity level inside the polymers with advancing cycles─from early nucleation and growth after a single cycle, through the formation of nanometric particles within the films, and to the coalescence of the particles upon polymer removal and thermal treatment. Through in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and microgravimetry, we highlight the important role of water molecules throughout the process and the polymers' hygroscopic level that leads to the observed differences in growth patterns between the polymers, in terms of particle size, dispersity, and the evolution of crystalline order. These insights expand our understanding of crystalline materials growth within polymers and enable rational design of hybrid materials and polymer-templated inorganic nanostructures.

Electro-mechanical analysis of nanostructured polymer matrix composite materials for 3D printing using machine learning

Recently, additive manufacturing (AM) techniques like 3D printing have emerged as a potentially game-changing example of digital manufacturing. However, high entry barriers of a tiny material library, different processing defects, and unpredictable product quality are still holding back its widespread use in the industry. Due to its remarkable success in data tasks like classification, regression, and clustering, machine learning (ML) has recently gained a great deal of interest in the subject of the material library. This paper examines the current state of ML applications in several key areas of AM, including polymer matrix composite materials and machine parameter optimization. Composite filaments have been extruded using Polylactic Acid (PLA) as it is a biodegradable material and shows how High-Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) enhances physical strength. All the parameters for the filament extruder have been designed by machine learning. Thermal stability is a significant concern for polymers that have been overcome by introducing Titanium Dioxide nanoparticles. The microstructure, surface texture, electro-mechanical behavior, and other general features of extruded filaments made from recycled plastics have been investigated. The extrusion temperature, approximated using ML, is in excellent agreement with the surface texture and microstructure of the polymers, as confirmed by FESEM, EDX, and Particle analysis. Extruded filaments experienced 2500 Vs and confirmed their non-conductivity up to 77.7GΩ. Tensile strength and elongation at break, two measures of mechanical properties, have been examined. Incorporation of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles improved mechanical properties significantly. When it comes to 3D printing, the physical properties and potential uses of each composite material are different.

Penerapan Metode Association Rule Menggunakan Apriori untuk Rekomendasi Penyusunan Rak Buku di Perpustakaan Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu

The library is one of the facilities provided by Muhammadiyah University. The Muhammadiyah University Library can provide various kinds of library materials such as textbooks, text books, literature for practicums, general magazines and various other collections. Some book collections can be borrowed or can only be accessed on site. Apriori is an algorithm that is well known for searching frequent item sets using association rule techniques. The a priori algorithm uses knowledge about previously known frequent itemsets to process further information. In the a priori algorithm, to determine the candidates that may appear, it is done by paying attention to the minimum support. The data collection techniques used by the author in this research are interview techniques, observation and literature study. To carry out a bookshelf search application in a library, it begins with the process of inputting the book title, author's name, and publisher through inputting search data. Next, the system will look for a match string which will be processed by the application. If each string is found it will display it as a whole and will provide bookshelf information. The conclusion that can be drawn from the application of the association rule method using a priori for recommendations for arranging bookshelves in the Muhammadiyah University of Bengkulu library, is that you can find the placement of books in the library by applying the association rule method, can distribute books grouped according to scientific discipline categories, and the rapid miner application By using the association rule method, you can also read scientific discipline categories from the same book and the title entered contains the same characters but different writing.

Enhancing accessibility in STEM: a survey of accessibility errors in STEM academic databases

A Philosophical Reading of Justice and Its Resistance to Social Change among the Igbo of Nigeria

Abstract This article explores justice among the Igbo of Nigeria through a philosophical lens. Its discussion focuses on how the Igbo idea of justice intermingles with the idea of akadiocha (clean hands), proverbs, names and equal treatment for all, including the ancestors. Personal interviews form the primary sources of data collection while library materials are the secondary sources. The economy of the Igbo people of Nigeria is dynamic and multifaceted, with traditions of commerce, agriculture, manufacturing, and diaspora contributions playing crucial roles in its development and growth. The Igbo concept of “offor” embodies enduring traditions, values, and social structures that resist rapid social change. Its symbolism and significance continue to shape various aspects of Igbo culture, reinforcing a sense of identity and continuity amidst evolving social, economic, and political dynamics. Western justice is a multifaceted philosophical idea that reflects a commitment to fairness, equality, and the rule of law within legal systems influenced by Western philosophical traditions. By examining these differences, we gain insight into the multifaceted understanding of justice within Igbo culture, which encompasses spiritual, ancestral, and communal dimensions beyond Western paradigms.

Understanding microwave-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from diverse food waste feedstocks

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of natural antioxidants from food waste (FW) offers an economically appealing waste management strategy. However, MAE from mixed FW has received limited attention. We characterize five single waste streams (apple, coffee, olive, tomato, and potato peel waste) and study MAE of phenolic acids from select feedstocks and mixtures. This library of materials enables us to unravel the relationship of FW composition and physical properties with dielectric properties, heating, and extractive yields. Protein, ash, and moisture contents affect dielectric properties the most. Our study unveils the significance of moisture in free (> 20 wt%) and bound states (< 20 wt%) on FW dielectric properties, heating, and target acid yields (at least 33 % enhancement). Microwaves primarily heat the solvent (dimethylformamide) due to its superior dielectric properties compared to FW (dry and moist, single and mixtures) at ≤ 0.05 solid-to-liquid ratio (g/mL). High moisture content (> 20 wt%) provides higher phenolic yields at lower temperatures (< 100 °C) and shorter times (≤ 10 min) due to enhanced heat and mass transfer by microwaves. Further, our data indicates significant interactions between mixed FW components that drive 2–3x higher yields than those predicted from a simple additive model from single component results. Our work provides new insights for developing versatile MAE strategies to treat mixed FW feedstocks.

ANALISIS SIFAT MELAWAN HUKUM FORMIL TERHADAP PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI BERDASARKAN PASAL 2 DAN PASAL 3 UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 20 TAHUN 2001

Corruption is an urgent problem that must be addressed immediately in order to achieve healthy economic growth. Various records show an increase and development of corruption models that occur. The legal enforcement mechanism for criminal acts of corruption is something that must be paid attention to because it ensures its implementation is correct, fair, there is no arbitrariness and no abuse of power. The focus of discussion in this research is the concept of the nature of being against formal law in criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia, and the existence of the nature of being against formal law in criminal acts of corruption at this time. This research uses a normative juridical approach, namely by analyzing library materials or secondary data consisting of legal texts, court decisions, official documents and other legal literature. This research concludes that the concept of the nature of being against formal law in articles 2 and 3 of Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia is if the act violates social norms, norms of decency or ethics, moral norms and has violated propriety. prudence and necessity adhered to in person-to-person relationships in society. After the Constitutional Court decision Number: 25/PPU-XIV/2016, formal offenses were changed to material offenses. The deletion of the word "can" from the formulation of the two norms of Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 of the PTPK Law, requires that the element of state loss must be proven first to determine someone as a suspect so that it will provide legal certainty in the law enforcement process in the field of criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia. Keywords: Corruption, Unlawful Characteristics, State Financial Losses

Study on vertical isolation effect of ring springs in single-layer spherical reticulated dome structures

Ring springs have the advantages of simple structure, small space occupation and strong buffering capacity, so a ring spring vertical isolation device (RSVID) is proposed. The structure and working principle of RSVID are explained. In order to apply RSVID to the numerical model of the overall structure, OpenSees is redeveloped and a mechanical model that simulates RSVID is added to its material library. The design goal of this study is to extend the natural vibration period of the isolated structure, which is used to determine the stiffness of ring spring. Subsequently, RSVID and friction pendulum isolation bearings are combined to form a 3D isolation system which is applied to 60-meter span single-layer spherical reticulated domes, and then the numerical model of isolated structure and original structures are established in OpenSees software. The simulation results show that the isolation effect of 3D-isolated structure with RSVID is better than that of horizontal isolated structure.
