The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

The simultaneous generation of an electron beam with high energy and high current density with a high-fill factor is challenging for a backward wave oscillator (BWO) and other linear-beam devices. To ...

Tungsten (W) rich residue defects are observed post the layer of contact (CT) tungsten chemical and mechanical polish (CMP). The failure model of the defects was presented. And the mechanism involving ...

A thorough understanding of the kinetic competition between desired water oxidation/electron extraction processes and any detrimental surface recombination is required to achieve high water oxidation ...

Electron-transfer energetics of bridged dinuclear compounds of the form [(CO)4M(μ-L)]20/1−/2− (M = Mo, W; L = PPh2−, SPh−) were explored using density functional theory coupled to a continuum ...
