TL;DR: In this article, a single maximum in the magnetoelastic coupling |b1| of Fe with increasing amounts of nonmagnetic Ga, combined with a strongly temperature dependent elastic shear modulus (c11−c12) is interpreted as anomalous magnetostrictive behavior in Fe-Ga alloys.

TL;DR: In this article, a nonferromagnetic amorphous steel alloys with magnetic transition temperatures well below ambient temperatures were obtained using injection casting and they exhibited superior mechanical strength compared to super austenitic steels.

TL;DR: This work shows that a spontaneously forming nanostructure leads to a suppression of thermal conductivity to a glass-like level in crystalline AgSbTe2, and mapping of the phonon mean free paths provides a novel bottom-up microscopic account of thermal Conductivity and also reveals intrinsic anisotropies associated with the nanost structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that six of the eight europium atoms or 11% of the constituents in this solid, tunnel between four equivalent sites in a stoichiometric clathrate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic constants of the equiatomic body-centered cubic NbHfZrTi high-entropy alloy (HEA) were experimentally evaluated using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and compared directly with calculations based on density functional theory.
