In conventional directional solidification (DS) processes, the macroscopic temperature and solute fields ahead of the solid−liquid (SL) interface are inherently spatially non-uniform, resulting in pronounced variations in primary dendrite arm spacing (PDAS) at different locations. This poses a significant challenge to achieving effective control over the overall uniformity of the solidification microstructure. In this study, leveraging the unique configuration of the Cusp magnetic field (CMF), we investigated its influence on dendritic growth behavior in directionally solidified SC superalloy specimens with different diameters. The results demonstrate that the CMF reduces the PDAS and improves its spatial distribution uniformity. Moreover, both effects are enhanced with increasing specimen diameter. Quenching experiments combined with macroscale multiphysics simulations reveal that thermoelectric magnetic convection induced by the CMF effectively compensates for the non-uniform thermal field from radiative heat transfer, thereby driving the macroscopic interface toward a planar morphology. Phase-field simulations further indicate that, the differences in dendrite tip migration kinetics at different positions are reduced under the relatively planar interface, thereby synergistically promoting dendrite refinement and homogenization. This work provides a new theoretical basis for the dendrite refinement and homogenization in SC superalloys through macroscopic SL interface engineering.</p>","PeriodicalId":34,"journal":{"name":"Crystal Growth & Design","volume":"26 20","pages":"8552–8566"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149221979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fluorophilic interactions leverage local charge separations that arise from polarized C−F bonds. For larger perfluorinated molecules, the cumulative strength of these interactions can drive selective partitioning with fluorophilic surfaces, such as those within a porous sorbent. However, it is presently unclear whether tetrafluoromethane (CF₄), the smallest perfluorocarbon and a potent greenhouse gas, can engage appreciably in fluorophilic interactions with a highly fluorinated surface. Herein, we report a library of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) that modulate the length of either fluorophilic or lipophilic alkyl chains tethered within mesoporous channels. Our approach relies on postsynthetic amine coordination, leaving the base framework constant across the series and allowing for comparisons that obviate large changes in pore shape or structure. We find that fluorophilic sorbent character is correlated to, at most, a modest increase in affinity for CF₄. Very similar results are also observed for the non-fluorinated adsorbate methane (CH₄).

However, achieving precise orientation control by modulating the growth conditions remains a significant challenge. In this work, we demonstrate that the oxidizing atmosphere is a critical determinant in the oxidation of bismuth (Bi) metal, dictating a transition from thermodynamics-driven epitaxial growth to kinetics-dominated non-epitaxial growth of β-Bi₂O₃ films. In an oxygen-deficient atmosphere, the reaction is thermodynamically controlled. In this regime, β-Bi₂O₃ grows <em>via</em> a mechanism on the Bi(003) surface, guided by lattice matching, to form a dense film with a dominant (201) orientation. This process follows a specific crystallographic relationship: Bi(003)//β-Bi₂O₃(002). In contrast, under oxygen-rich and air atmospheres, the reaction becomes kinetically controlled, where the competition among growth rates of different crystal facets prevails. This leads to a shift in the preferred orientation toward a mixed feature of the (002) and (220) planes. Such atmosphere-induced microstructural evolution directly modulates the optical properties of the films. The preferred oriented-growth (201) film exhibits an optical band gap of approximately 2.64 eV, which is slightly wider than the intrinsic value. Conversely, films grown under oxygen-rich and air atmospheres show a broader band gap of approximately 2.83 eV.

Porphyrins and porphyrin−peptide bioconjugates have emerged as promising photoactive platforms due to their known ability to generate the highly oxidant singlet oxygen (¹O₂) upon light excitation. Still, the mechanisms underlying their oxidative effects on Aβ remain unclear. Here, we investigate the photophysical properties and the ¹O₂-mediated oxidation capability of two porphyrin−peptide conjugates, <strong>Ph-Pep</strong> and its Zn-metallated analogue <strong>ZnPh-Pep</strong>, both incorporating the Aβ recognition motif KLVFF. Steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic studies reveal the good preservation of the photophysical and photochemical properties of the porphyrin chromophore units after their conjugation with the peptide appendage. Population of the long-lived triplet state of both compounds under visible-light excitation results in an effective generation of ¹O₂. High-resolution mass spectrometry shows that the ¹O₂ photogenerated by <strong>ZnPh-Pep</strong> induces extensive oxidation, yielding peroxidic and hydroperoxidic species, and provides evidence of partial Aβ42 degradation. In contrast, <strong>Ph-Pep</strong> leads to a rapid loss of detectable Aβ signal, suggesting the formation of higher-order aggregates rather than peptide cleavage. These distinct outcomes highlight the roles of Zn²⁺ coordination and peptide conjugation in modulating the ¹O₂-driven pathways.

Because cross-study comparison is often hindered by inconsistent testing conditions and incomplete characterization of both starting feedstocks and resulting sorbents, we propose a mechanism-aware benchmarking framework and minimum reporting protocol centered on feedstock descriptors, application-relevant CO₂ partial pressures, working capacity, accessible-site metrics (e.g., effective nitrogen/amine efficiency), ultramicropore descriptors, and durability under humid/impure cycling.
