Abstract Engineering semiconductor devices requires an understanding of charge carrier mobility. Typically, mobilities are estimated using Hall effect and electrical resistivity meausrements, which routinely performed at room temperature below, in materials with greater than 1 cm 2 V ‐1 s . With the availability combined Seebeck coefficient measurement systems, it is now easy to measure weighted mobility (electron by density electronic states). A simple method calculate from measurements...

A low-density, nanocrystalline high-entropy alloy, Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 was produced by mechanical alloying. It formed a single-phase fcc structure during ball milling and transformed to hcp upon annealing. The alloy has an estimated strength-to-weight ratio that is significantly higher than other alloys comparable ceramics. High hardness retained after

CrCoNi alloy exhibits a remarkable combination of strength and plastic deformation, even superior to the CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy. We connect magnetic mechanical properties CrCoNi, via magnetically tunable phase transformation. While both alloys crystallize as single-phase face-centered-cubic (fcc) solid solutions, we find distinctly lower-energy in with hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure. Comparing configurations those other equiatomic ternary derivatives confirms that frustrated...

Abstract Normal embryo development is a complex process that requires normal sperm to fertilize oocytes. Abnormal embryogenesis can be caused by either abnormal oocytes or sperm. However, the impact of sperm‐associated factors often underappreciated. Association between defects in chromatin and poor has been consistently reported. In cells, most histones are replaced protamines remodel cell chromatin. mechanism nuclear protein replacement largely unknown. Meiosis expressed gene 1 (MEIG1)...

Material properties depend sensitively on picometer scale atomic displacements introduced by local chemical fluctuations. Direct real-space, high spatial-resolution measurements of this compositional variation and corresponding distortion can provide new insights into materials behavior at the scale. Using aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy combined with advanced imaging methods, we observed atom column specific, picometer-scale induced chemistry in a complex...

The equation of motion for nonequilibrium Green functions is derived within the framework Schwinger and Keldysh formalism perturbation expansion. For distribution functions, from quantum mechanics contains undefined singularities, whose explicit form depends on specific initial or boundary condition. In present work, exact expression singular terms found in time-looped theory which adiabatic condition implied. Unlike usual Dyson well known Kadanoff-Baym motion, our resulting can be adopted...

High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs) exhibit complex atomic interactions, with short-range order (SRO) playing a critical role in determining their properties. Traditional methods, such as Monte Carlo (MC) and hybrid MC-Molecular Dynamics (MC-MD), are often constrained by system size computational inefficiency, limiting applicability for large-scale modeling. We introduce PyHEA, high-performance Python package C++ core, designed to efficiently model HEAs through combination of global local search...
