the LMP metal melts into a liquid that is of high flowability and conductivity, serving as an ideal substrate to anchor semiconductor particles for the formation
Liquid metal melts containing conductive inks and pastesCoating traces of inkjet-printed silver nanoparticle (AgNP) ink with a thin layer of eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) increases electrical conductivity and significantly improves resistance to tensile strain. This improvement is achieved through room-...
However, metallic melts can undergo (ir)reversible structural and property changes above Tliq [13,14], which affect the microstructure and properties of the solidified alloys and glasses upon cooling. There are three potential origins of heterogeneities that can exist in glass-forming-metallic melts...
The team discovered that in addition to a rearrangement of the sodium atoms in the liquid under pressure, the electrons were transformed as well. The electronic cloud gets modified; the electrons sometimes get trapped in interstitial voids of the liquid and the bonds between atoms adopt specific d...
Diamond grew in the subsurface of liquid metal composed of gallium, iron, nickel and silicon, by catalytic activation of methane and diffusion of carbon atoms into and within the subsurface regions. We found that the supersaturation of carbon in the liquid metal subsurface leads to the nucleation...
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR VARYING THE SUBSTANCE COMPOSITION IN METAL MELTS AND IN PARTICULAR FOR THE DESULFURIZING OF PIG IRON A method for varying the substance composition in metal melts and in particular for desulfurizing pig iron where the contact surfaces of the reacting surfaces of the melt ...
Theliquid phaseepitaxy (LPE) growth approach, also referred to as layer-by-layer (LBL), was introduced in 2009. LPE enables the growth of theMOFcomponent, that is, metal(s) and linker(s), in the vertical direction (Chernikova et al., 2017). The LPE approach has been used to growth...
A hand that slowly opens as the metal lattice melts. Credit: Pu Zhang Pu Zhang likes to compare his team's research on liquid metals to the Terminator—specifically 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day, in which a killer robot sent from a grim future can transform into anyone and anything ...
Materials processing techniques that make use of liquid metals, such as infiltration or brazing, require a deep knowledge on the basic properties of the metal and of the interface generated between the metal and other present phases, generally solid and of a ceramic or metallic nature. In the ...
The liquid and glass states of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently become of interest due to the potential for liquid-phase separations and ion transport, alongside the fundamental nature of the latter as a new, fourth category of melt-quenched glass. Here we show that the MOF liqui...
