The properties of a material can be engineered by manipulating its atomic and chemical architecture. Nanoglasses which have been recently invented and comprise nanosized glassy particles separated by amorphous interfaces, have shown promising properties. A potential way to exploit the structural benefits of nanoglasses and of nanocrystalline materials is to optimize the composition to obtain crystals forming within the glassy particles. Here, a metastable Fe‐10 at% Sc nanoglass is synthesized. A complex hierarchical microstructure is evidenced experimentally at the atomic scale. This bulk material comprises grains of a Fe90Sc10 amorphous matrix separated by an amorphous interfacial network enriched and likely stabilized by hydrogen, and property‐enhancing pure‐Fe nanocrystals self‐assembled within the matrix. This composite structure leads a yield strength above 2.5 GPa with an exceptional quasi‐homogeneous plastic flow of more than 60% in compression. This work opens new pathways to design materials with even superior properties. 相似文献
When training a machine learning model, there is likely to be a tradeoff between accuracy and the diversity of the dataset. Previous research has shown that if we train a model to detect one specific malware family, we generally obtain stronger results as compared to a case where we train a single model on multiple diverse families. However, during the detection phase, it would be more efficient to have a single model that can reliably detect multiple families, rather than having to score each sample against multiple models. In this research, we conduct experiments based on byte n-gram features to quantify the relationship between the generality of the training dataset and the accuracy of the corresponding machine learning models, all within the context of the malware detection problem. We find that neighborhood-based algorithms generalize surprisingly well, far outperforming the other machine learning techniques considered.
The performance of all‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs) is often limited by the poor exciton dissociation process. Here, the design of a series of polymer donors ( P1 – P3 ) with different numbers of fluorine atoms on their backbone is presented and the influence of fluorination on charge generation in all‐PSCs is investigated. Sequential fluorination of the polymer backbones increases the dipole moment difference between the ground and excited states (Δµge) from P1 (18.40 D) to P2 (25.11 D) and to P3 (28.47 D). The large Δµge of P3 leads to efficient exciton dissociation with greatly suppressed charge recombination in P3 ‐based all‐PSCs. Additionally, the fluorination lowers the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level of P3 and P2 , leading to higher open‐circuit voltage (VOC). The power conversion efficiency of the P3 ‐based all‐PSCs (6.42%) outperforms those of the P2 and P1 (5.00% and 2.65%)‐based devices. The reduced charge recombination and the enhanced polymer exciton lifetime in P3 ‐based all‐PSCs are confirmed by the measurements of light‐intensity dependent short‐circuit current density (JSC) and VOC, and time‐resolved photoluminescence. The results provide reciprocal understanding of the charge generation process associated with Δµge in all‐PSCs and suggest an effective strategy for designing π‐conjugated polymers for high performance all‐PSCs. 相似文献
A new synthesis route with high energy ball milling and microwave sintering is used to obtain nanocrystalline BiFeO3 with improved dielectric and magnetic properties. Electrical and magnetic properties are compared with a conventionally sintered microcrystalline BiFeO3. It is found that the dielectric constant is increased more than one order of magnitude, electrical resistivity by six orders of magnitude and remnant polarization value is increased by 4-5 times for nanocrystalline BiFeO3 in comparison to conventionally sintered microcrystalline BiFeO3. Nanocrystalline BiFeO3 is seen to have ferromagnetic behavior whereas microcrystalline BiFeO3 is known to be antiferromagnetic. 相似文献
In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive median-based lifting filter for image de-noising which has been corrupted by homogeneous salt and pepper noise. The median-based lifting filter removes the noise of the input image by calculating the median of the neighboring significant pixels. The algorithm for image noise removal uses the lifting scheme of the second-generation wavelets in conjunction with the proposed adaptive median-based lifting filter. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The proposed algorithm is compared with all the basic filters, and it is found that our method outperforms many other algorithms and it can remove salt and pepper noise with a noise level as high as 90%. The algorithm works exceedingly well for all levels of noise, as illustrated in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM) measures. 相似文献
Post heat treatment of weldments is one of the most extensively used techniques by the industrial community for relieving
welding residual stresses. Such practice not only delays the manufacturing process, but also increases the cost of manufacturing.
In this article, an idea of a new welding technique, which is a promising tool for relieving welding residual stresses, is
presented. This method is anticipated to reduce the time and cost of the manufacturing process. The first part of the investigation
focuses on simulation of an idea by using an auxiliary heat source for creating a weldment with a more uniform temperature
distribution both spatially and temporally. A subroutine has been developed for optimizing the size of an auxiliary heat input
(AHI). The details of the subroutine and the parameters considered for optimizing the AHI are presented. The results show
that by increasing the stabilizing temperature and size of the AHI, the speed of cooling and spatial temperature gradient
decreases. This may result in reducing the level of residual stresses. 相似文献
