Phase composition of polycrystalline HfNx (0.45 ≤ x ≤ 1.60) and effects of low-energy ion irradiation on microstructure, texture, and physical properties

We have investigated the phase composition of HfNx as a function of x and the effects of low-energy ion irradiation on the microstructure and physical properties of polycrystalline layers grown on SiO2 at 350 °C by ultrahigh vacuum reactive dc magnetron sputtering of Hf in mixed N2/Ar discharges. X-ray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry results show that the phases obtained in polycrystalline HfNx layers with increasing x are hcp-structure α-Hf:N (x ≲ 0.6); multiphase mixtures consisting of α-Hf, NaCl-structure δ-HfN, rhombohedral ɛ-Hf3N2, and/or ζ-Hf4N3 (0.6 ≲ x ≲ 0.9); δ-HfN single phase (0.9 ≲ x ≲ 1.3); and mixtures of δ-HfN and higher nitrides (x ≳ 1.3). HfNx layers with 0.9 ≲ x ≲ 1.2 grown under mild ion irradiation (incident ion energy Ei ≃ 7 eV and ion-to-Hf flux ratios Ji/JHf = 1−3) are underdense with mixed orientation, low in-plane stress, and rough surface morphology due to limited adatom mobilities resulting in kinetic roughening and atomic shadowing during film growth. However, the use of intense ion irradiation (Ei = 25 eV and Ji/JHf = 4−20) results in HfNx layers, which are fully dense with strongly 111-oriented texture, compressive in-plane stress, and smooth surfaces due to ion irradiation enhanced adatom surface mobilities. In addition, the latter films have lower resistivity and higher hardness. For stoichiometric δ-HfN layers, ρ decreases from 69.7 to 35.2 μΩ cm and H increases from 22.1 to 27.4 GPa, with increasing ion-irradiation intensity. However, for HfNx layers with 1.2 ≲ x ≲ 1.6, the correspondingly higher steady state atomic N surface coverages during deposition alter growth kinetics in favor of 001 texture with a fully dense structure and compressive in-plane stress.

The Relationship between Career Calling and Workaholism: The Mediating Role of Career Orientation

The difference between having workers involved in their work, on the one hand, or too exhausted to contribute, on the other, can be tenuous and compromise work orientation. The positive outcomes of career calling (a deep purpose and meaningfulness in work characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption) to organizations are clear, namely the relationship of career calling with high levels of commitment and engagement. However, the dark side of career calling remains a less explored point. The main purpose of this study analyzes this side of career calling and explores the relationship between sense of work purpose—perceived career calling—and workaholism. The sample consists of 743 Portuguese employees from different sectors of activity. The main hypothesis intends to test the presence of career orientation as a mechanism to explain the ambiguity of career calling outcomes, that is, the mediating effect of career orientation on the relationship between career calling and workaholism. The results showed that the workers’ career orientation helps to explain this relationship. Career orientation partially mediated the relation between career calling and the positive dimension of workaholism, involvement and enjoyment, and completely mediated the relation between career calling and negative dimensions of workaholism, drive. These results allow us to reflect on career calling, and how organizations manage workforce efforts to avoid work addiction and the negative consequences that compromise workforce sustainability. Career calling was looked at as an element of a mixed profile work orientation, rather than not just as a pure work orientation. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Recrystallization tuning to optimize mechanical properties in heavily rolled CoCrFeNi medium entropy alloy

The microstructure, crystallographic texture and tensile properties have been investigated in a CoCrFeNi medium entropy alloy after cold rolling to 85% thickness reduction and in several annealed conditions. It is found that the microstructure of the rolled sample is highly heterogeneous, with extended regions having orientations either along the 〈110〉//ND fiber or along the 〈111〉//ND fiber and layers of mixed orientations. The heterogeneity is enhanced by profuse shear bands. During annealing the shear bands and layers of mixed orientations act as preferential nucleation sites for recrystallized grains. Recrystallization is accompanied by annealing twinning, which leads to texture weakening. Analysis of mechanical properties in the CoCrFeNi alloy demonstrates that the strengthening effect of heavy rolling is retained in partially recrystallized conditions. Good combinations of high mechanical strength and fairly high ductility are obtained in partially recrystallized samples produced by annealing at either 550 °C or 570 °C. These combinations are attributed to fine-scale bimodal microstructures, 38–50% of which contain recrystallized grains with an average size of 1–1.2 µm, while deformation structures of nanometer to submicrometer scale and with high dislocation densities are present in non-recrystallized regions.

The effect of mixed orientation on the accuracy of a forecast model for building integrated photovoltaic systems

BIPVs (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) are expected to dominate the solar industry in urban areas, especially in connection with zero-emission buildings. They allow the use of mixed orientations which result in multiple generation peaks throughout the day that can precisely match the consumption profile of the building. Multiple generation peaks however make the design of an accurate PV (Photovoltaic) output power forecasting tool a complex task. This paper, therefore, aims to quantify the effect of these mixed orientations on the accuracy of such prediction models for a 181.15 kWp BIPV located in Trondheim, Norway. The results show that a forecast model that has a complete perception of all the mixed orientations reduced the RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) forecast error by 34%. The findings in this work have important implications for developing a practical energy management system that is common in the operation of BIPVs.

Less is MORE: a phenomenological study of the experiences of mixed orientation relationships in couples therapy

Mixed Orientation Relationships (MOREs) confront a variety of issues during couples counseling. The dyadic experience, presenting issues of MOREs, and clinical implications are nascent areas of study in counseling psychology. Using a phenomenological approach, this study examines themes of the presenting issues of MOREs and their counselors’ identities. The framework of Relational Cultural Theory (RCT) is provided to examine MORE dyads and their experience in couples counseling. RCT is a feminist-based approach to therapy that prioritizes healing through relational connection for marginalized people. Future directions and clinical implications are also provided.

Muscleblind-1 interacts with tubulin mRNAs to regulate the microtubule cytoskeleton in C. elegans mechanosensory neurons.

Regulation of the microtubule cytoskeleton is crucial for the development and maintenance of neuronal architecture, and recent studies have highlighted the significance of regulated RNA processing in the establishment and maintenance of neural circuits. In a genetic screen conducted using mechanosensory neurons of C. elegans, we identified a mutation in muscleblind-1/mbl-1 as a suppressor of loss of kinesin-13 family microtubule destabilizing factor klp-7. Muscleblind-1(MBL-1) is an RNA-binding protein that regulates the splicing, localization, and stability of RNA. Our findings demonstrate that mbl-1 is required cell-autonomously for axon growth and proper synapse positioning in the posterior lateral microtubule (PLM) neuron. Loss of mbl-1 leads to increased microtubule dynamics and mixed orientation of microtubules in the anterior neurite of PLM. These defects are also accompanied by abnormal axonal transport of the synaptic protein RAB-3 and reduction of gentle touch sensation in mbl-1 mutant. Our data also revealed that mbl-1 is genetically epistatic to mec-7 (β tubulin) and mec-12 (α tubulin) in regulating axon growth. Furthermore, mbl-1 is epistatic to sad-1, an ortholog of BRSK/Brain specific-serine/threonine kinase and a known regulator of synaptic machinery, for synapse formation at the correct location of the PLM neurite. Notably, the immunoprecipitation of MBL-1 resulted in the co-purification of mec-7, mec-12, and sad-1 mRNAs, suggesting a direct interaction between MBL-1 and these transcripts. Additionally, mbl-1 mutants exhibited reduced levels and stability of mec-7 and mec-12 transcripts. Our study establishes a previously unknown link between RNA-binding proteins and cytoskeletal machinery, highlighting their crucial roles in the development and maintenance of the nervous system.

Effect of current density on the texture, residual stress, microhardness and corrosion resistance of electrodeposited chromium coating

Textures and residual stresses are generated during electrodeposition of chromium coatings, which directly affect the performance of the coating. In this work, the variations of texture, hydrogen content, residual stress, microhardness and corrosion resistance of chromium deposited from hexavalent [Cr(VI)] chromium bath using direct current deposited technique were investigated. Electrodeposition experiments were carried out on the low carbon steel substrate by varying the key variable current density. The macrotexture of the coatings was studied by XRD. The crystal orientation and dislocation density were analyzed by EBSD. Residual stress was measured by the indentation method. The research demonstrated that a single preferred orientation on the (222) plane was found at current densities of 20 A/dm2, 35 A/dm2 and 50 A/dm2. At 40 A/dm2, a mixed preferred orientation on the (222) + (211) planes was discovered. Furthermore, the formation of the chromium coating texture was affected by the variation of hydrogen content, for higher hydrogen promoting grain growth along the (222) crystal plane. Notably, the microstructure-property relationship was developed. At the single preferred orientation of (222) plane, the corrosion resistance was more favorable. At the mixed preferred orientation of (222) + (211) planes, the coating surface achieved higher microhardness, but formed higher residual stress and more microcracks. Moreover, the better electroplating parameter was proposed. At 35 A/dm2, the coating had the fewer microcracks and the better overall performance. The higher microhardness of 753 HV was found. The more favorable corrosion resistance was discovered, with the breakdown potential and passive current density of 804.7 mV and 2.220 × 10−6 A/dm2. The lower residual stress of 61 MPa was found, which was about 81 % lower than the maximum stress. It was significant in industry for the enhancement of the service life of substrate and the optimization of the chromium coating process.

Structure‐Property Relationship of Conjugated Polymers Utilizing Isomerized Fused Benzothiadiazole‐Based Building Blocks†

Comprehensive SummaryOnly a few fused benzothiadizole (BTz) based conjugated polymers have been applied in organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs), and their performances were low, mainly due to the lack of available building blocks and in‐depth study of the relationship between structure and performance. Herein, we report two isomeric fused BTz‐based building blocks (M1 and M2) and their copolymers PBTzVBTz‐T and PBTzVBTz‐TT, PTVT‐T and PTVT‐TT. DFT study showed all polymers had nearly planar backbone geometries, and PBTzVBTz‐TT exhibited the most linear backbone. PTVT‐T and PTVT‐TT exhibited red‐shift absorption spectra and deeper LUMO level than those of PBTzVBTz‐T and PBTzVBTz‐TT. Thin film microstructure study demonstrated PBTzVBTz‐TT and PTVT‐TT had edge‐on molecular orientation, while the others had the mixed molecular orientation of edge‐on and face‐on. Furthermore, PBTzVBTz‐TT had the longest coherence length in thin film. All these features of PBTzVBTz‐TT resulted in its highest carrier mobility of 0.1 cm2·V–1·s–1 among these polymers.

Square arrays of vertically aligned nanoporous cylinders from a linear ABC triblock terpolymer

AbstractVertically oriented nanoporous cylinders, demonstrating an unprecedented alignment persistence, were produced within freestanding poly(1,1‐dimethyl silacyclobutane)‐block‐polystyrene‐block‐poly(2‐vinyl pyridine) (PDMSB‐b‐PS‐b‐P2VP) layers (~15 μm thick) blended with short PS‐b‐P2VP chains by combining the non‐solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) process with a solvent vapor annealing (SVA) treatment. Here, the NIPS step allowed for the formation of an asymmetric and porous PDMSB‐b‐PS‐b‐P2VP film having a top surface exhibiting poorly‐defined nanopores while the subsequent SVA treatment enabled to produce a symmetric layer that possesses highly‐ordered cylindrical nanodomains arranged into a 27 nm period square array. As the unblended NIPS/SVA‐made PDMSB‐b‐PS‐b‐P2VP monoliths exhibited a mixed orientation of parallel and perpendicular cylinders, a blending strategy was used to achieve tetragonally‐packed PDMSB and P2VP nanodomains having an exceptional vertical alignment persistence. Such solvent‐annealed (3 h, CHCl3) PDMSB‐b‐PS‐b‐P2VP monoliths blended with 20 wt% of PS‐b‐P2VP chains showed a water permeance close to the value measured through their parent NIPS‐made terpolymer films having poorly‐ordered nanopores.

Electrodeposited copper oxides with a suppressed interfacial amorphous phase using mixed-crystalline ITO and their enhanced photoelectrochemical performances

The effectiveness of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is significantly restricted by insufficient light harvesting, rapid charge recombination, and slow water reduction kinetics. Since the presence of amorphous phases in the interfaces hinders the overcome of these inherent limitations, a photoelectrode must be built strategically. Herein, we artificially controlled the crystallographic orientation of indium tin oxide (ITO) to determine the orientation with the smallest lattice mismatch at the Cu2O interface, thus significantly reducing the amorphous phase in the early stage of electrodeposition nucleation. The [222]/[400] mixed orientation ITO primarily exposed the {400} surface planes and accelerated charge transfer by forming an optimal interface with preferentially grown (111) oriented Cu2O and minimized amorphous region. In addition, the ITO surface energy was calculated using density functional theory to theoretically verify which plane is more active for growing the photoactivation layer. The rationally designed ITO/Cu2O/Al-dope ZnO/TiO2/Rh-P device, with each layer serving a specific purpose, achieved a photocurrent density of 8.23 mA cm−2 at 0 VRHE under AM 1.5 G illumination, providing a standard method for effective solar-to-hydrogen conversion photocathodes.

Undergraduates' orientations towards student–university relationships: Measurement and associations with student characteristics and engagement

AbstractThis study explored students' orientations towards student–university relationships and how they differ with regard to student characteristics and engagement. We developed an instrument measuring student orientations and utilised it in a survey of Russian undergraduates. Using latent class analysis, we identified the following types of Russian students' orientations: instructivists, consumerists, constructivists, and students with mixed orientations. As the results showed, the majority of our respondents have consumerist or mixed orientations that mostly mismatch with the actual models of student–university relationships at Russian universities. We also found that students with these orientations are less engaged than instructivists and constructivists. These findings demonstrate the importance of seeking an optimal match between diverse undergraduate orientations and the actual educational model, which fits national and institutional contexts.

Does classroom matter? - A longitudinal multilevel perspective on students' achievement goal orientation profiles during lower secondary school

The present study adds to earlier person-oriented research by investigating differences in students' achievement goal orientation (AGO) profiles and their development using a simultaneous consideration of classroom patterns with longitudinal multilevel methods. The sample of almost 10,000 lower secondary school students, representing over 600 classrooms, was surveyed on their AGOs in the 7th and 9th grade. Multilevel latent profile analyses (MLPAs) and transition analysis (MLTA) revealed similar student profiles in AGOs in both grades: success-oriented, moderate multiple goals and avoidance-oriented, as well as two classroom types: success-oriented and mixed orientation classrooms with varied relative proportions of different student-level profiles and patterns of likely transitions. Stability of profiles was more typical than change. Maladaptive transitions were related to lower, and stable and adaptive transitions to higher GPA in the end of 9th grade. In success-oriented classrooms, it was more common to maintain or adopt the success-orientation across lower secondary school compared to the other classroom type.

Understanding and Balancing Generalist-Specialist Approaches in Dementia Research and Care Practice, Qualitative Research with 44 Dementia Professors in The Netherlands.

Dementia is one of the leading causes of death and disability among citizens and a societal challenge because of aging worldwide. As dementia has physical, psychological, social, material, and economic impacts, both research and care practice require many disciplines to develop and implement diagnostics, medical and psychosocial interventions, and support, crossing all domains of housing, public services, care, and cure. Notwithstanding large research efforts, much knowledge about mechanisms, interventions, and needs' based care pathways is still lacking. To cope with these challenges in research and practice, this paper is the first to question how generalist and specialist orientations can be unfolded. In the Netherlands, all dementia professors (N = 44) at eight Dutch academic centers have been interviewed. Qualitative analyses revealed three subgroups of dementia professors, one with a generalist orientation, one adhering to specialist approaches, and a third group that pleas for mixed orientations, with some differences between research and care practice. Each group has arguments for its generalist/specialist vision, but the synthesis suggests a paradigm of personalized and integrated dementia care, aimed at the individual in his own living environment. Sustainable strategies to cope with dementia require (inter)national programs and strong collaboration to build multi- and interdisciplinarity within and between research and practice.

Modulating the Mixing Gibbs Free Energy to Enhance Solid–Liquid Phase Separation for High‐Performance Organic Solar Cells

AbstractOrganic solar cells (OSC) feature a hierarchical structure with the electron donor/acceptor layer sandwiched by anode and cathode, which raises the importance of controlling the molecular crystal orientation, domain size, and vertical distribution to facilitate the charge collection at electrodes. However, the similar conjugated backbone of donor/acceptor material and fast film‐formation kinetics have led to spinodal‐decomposition‐orientated phase separation that result in the film presenting an intimately mixed morphology and random molecular orientation. To solve the issue, the mixing Gibbs free energy‐triggered solid–liquid phase separation during the film formation process is enhanced by solidifying one component and solvating the other based on a liquid additive. Following the liquid evaporation process, a favorable vertical distribution is obtained. Meanwhile, the prolonged solvation process enlarges the domain size and assists the molecules to diffuse and orient properly, enabling better exciton/charge dynamics during the power conversion processes. As a result, the fabricated devices exhibit a fill factor over 80% and an efficiency of 18.72%, which is one of the top efficiencies for binary OSCs. Insights and a methodology is provided here to manipulate the organic donor/acceptor phase separation in terms of mixing Gibbs free energy.

Multi-amplicon microbiome data analysis pipelines for mixed orientation sequences using QIIME2: Assessing reference database, variable region and pre-processing bias in classification of mock bacterial community samples.

Microbiome research relies on next-generation sequencing and on downstream data analysis workflows. Several manufacturers have introduced multi-amplicon kits for microbiome characterization, improving speciation, but present unique challenges for analysis. The goal of this methodology study was to develop two analysis pipelines specific to mixed-orientation reads from multi-hypervariable (V) region amplicons. A secondary aim was to assess agreement with expected abundance, considering database and variable region. Mock community sequence data (n = 41) generated using the Ion16S™ Metagenomics Kit and Ion Torrent Sequencing Platform were analyzed using two workflows. Amplicons from V2, V3, V4, V6-7, V8 and V9 were deconvoluted using a specialized plugin based on CutPrimers. A separate workflow using Cutadapt is also presented. Three reference databases (Ribosomal Database Project, Greengenes and Silva) were used for taxonomic assignment. Bray-Curtis, Euclidean and Jensen-Shannon distance measures were used to evaluate overall annotation consistency, and specific taxon agreement was determined by calculating the ratio of observed to expected relative abundance. Reads that mapped to regions V2-V9 varied for both CutPrimers and Cutadapt-based methods. Within the CutPrimers-based pipeline, V3 amplicons had the best agreement with the expected distribution, tested using global distance measures, while V9 amplicons had the worst agreement. Accurate taxonomic annotation varied by genus-level taxon and V region analyzed. For the first time, we present a microbiome analysis pipeline that employs a specialized plugin to allow microbiome researchers to separate multi-amplicon data from the Ion16S Metagenomics Kit into V-specific reads. We also present an additional analysis workflow, modified for Ion Torrent mixed orientation reads. Overall, the global agreement of amplicons with the expected mock community abundances differed across V regions and reference databases. Benchmarking data should be referenced when planning a microbiome study to consider these biases related to sequencing and data analysis for multi-amplicon sequencing kits.

Latent Profile Analysis of Protean and Traditional Career Orientations and Career Competencies: Focused on the Cyber University Students in South Korea

This study aimed at identifying latent profiles based on career orientations and career competencies and examining differences in subjective career success(employability), objective career success(salary, hierarchical position), and affective organizational commitment. Cross-sectional data were collected from 356 working adults enrolled at one Korean cyber university, and latent profile analysis was conducted. First, participants were classified into four latent profiles: ‘traditional and competent(7.6%)’, ‘mixed/averaged(82.8%)’, ‘protean and competent(4.2%)’, and ‘traditional and incompetent(5.4%)’. Our findings highlight that a mixed and averaged orientation is dominant among Korean adults who work and study. Second, one-way ANOVA was conducted to test the differences in career outcomes according to the generated profiles. The ‘Traditional and competent’ type perceived greater employability than the ‘traditional and incompetent’ group, and the ‘traditional and competent’ group exhibited stronger affective organizational commitment than the ‘protean and competent’ profile. Based on the findings, the importance of developing career competencies was discussed regarding continuing education for working adults.

Adsorption of methylene blue and Congo red from aqueous solution on 3D MXene/carbon foam hybrid aerogels: A study by experimental and statistical physics modeling

In this paper, a new type of adsorbent MXene/carbon foam hybrid aerogel (MCF) was synthesized from Ti3C2TX-MXene and melamine foam (MF), and its removal properties of both cationic and anionic dyes were studied. The physicochemical properties of MCF were analyzed by a variety of characterization techniques, while its dye adsorption mechanism was further elucidated by the statistical physics models. The results show that MCF exhibited excellent adsorptive efficiency towards the two hazardous dyes methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR), and their adsorption capacity were 356.97 mg/g and 647.75 mg/g, respectively, which were fitted better for the Langmuir equation and quasi-second-order kinetic model. Moreover, the mechanism of MCF-MB and MCF-CR adsorption systems was discussed through the saturated multilayer model at the molecular level. The numerical simulation results show that the MB molecules were adsorbed by MCF in the form of dimer, which was a process of multi-anchoring (303 K and 318 K), single connection (333 K) and mixed adsorption orientation. On the contrary, CR molecules were adsorbed as monomers, which was a process of multi-anchored and pure non-parallel adsorption directions (303 K and 318 K) and mixed adsorption orientation (333 K). From the statistical physical and thermodynamic analysis, the adsorption mechanism of MB and CR onto MCF was mainly determined by the receptor density (Dm), which was a reversible endothermic adsorption process driven by the physical interaction, and high temperature was beneficial to the occurrence of high adsorption capacity.

Crystallographic aspects of 17–4 PH martensitic steel produced by laser-powder bed fusion

Microstructural evolution during laser-powder bed fusion of 17–4 PH martensitic steel was studied. Particular emphasis was paid to the crystallographic aspects of this process. The crystallization of δ-ferrite from the liquid phase was shown to be governed by an epitaxial mechanism which gave rise to the solidification 〈100〉 − fiber texture. The austenitic phase preferentially nucleated at the ferrite grain boundaries, while the subsequent migration of phase boundaries was accompanied by extensive annealing twinning. Remarkably, the grain-boundary austenite was related to both adjacent ferrite grains via the Nishiyama-Wasserman orientation relationship. The multiple crystallographic variants associated with the phase transformation and annealing twinning resulted in a comparatively weak 〈110〉 + <100> − fiber texture in austenite. The subsequent austenite → martensite phase transformation was governed by the mixed orientation relationship, which included both the Nishiyama-Wasserman and Kurdjumov-Sachs ones. The nearly-random texture in martensite suggested no essential variant selection during the phase transformation. • Crystallization of δ-ferrite is governed by an epitaxial mechanism. • The austenitic phase preferentially nucleated at the ferrite grain boundaries. • Ferrite and austenite are related via Nishiyama-Wasserman orientation relationship. • Austenite and martenite are related via the mixed orientation relationship.

Recognition Killed the Radio Star? Recognition Orientations and Sustained Creativity After the Best New Artist Grammy Nomination

Many organizations rely on group work to generate creativity, but existing research lacks theory on how groups’ responses to recognition for creative achievement shape their subsequent creative outcomes. Through an inductive study of bands nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy from 1980 to 1990, we develop a theory of reactions to early recognition in creative groups. Our multi-method analyses include oral histories from members of each band and quantitative data, which we use to triangulate the processes they describe. Our findings reveal that groups developed sets of emergent reactions and active adjustments to the recognition and its consequences, which we call “recognition orientations.” We identify three such orientations—absorbing, insulating, and mixed—that reflect how groups interpret recognition and integrate it into their subsequent processes. Most groups struggled by absorbing recognition, which led to internalizing expectations and opening their relationships to outsiders, ultimately inhibiting creativity. Some groups began to insulate themselves from recognition by externalizing expectations and bounding relationships, allowing them to sustain creative output over time. Finally, other groups developed a mixed orientation, initially experiencing the pitfalls of elevated recognition-seeking but ultimately attempting to insulate their need for external recognition by refocusing on their creative process. These findings reveal that recognition can upend the creative process, and groups that begin absorbing recognition are, ironically, less likely to earn it again in the future. Filling a critical research gap on creative production among groups that intend to continue working together, the results distinguish the skills needed to manage recognition from those needed to generate creativity, and offer insight into how groups enact longevity.
