Firstly, the introduction of Hf increases the reverse MT temperature <em>T</em>_A. After annealing, the newly formed 4O martensite is preferentially grown at grain boundaries (GBs). For Hf1 ribbons, the isothermal magnetic entropy change peak value (Δ<em>S</em>_M,max) decreases after annealing, while for annealed Hf2 ribbons, Δ<em>S</em>_M,max changes little in contrast with melt-spun ones. The refrigeration temperature span (Δ<em>T</em>_FWHM) is significantly broadened in both cases after annealing at 850 °C. Under a magnetic-field change of <em>μ</em>₀Δ<em>H</em> = 0–5 T, the Δ<em>T</em>_FWHM values of the Hf1 @850 °C and Hf2 @850 °C ribbons are 22.3 K and 21.8 K, respectively.

Our findings indicate the persistence of partial chemical ordering, with transition metal atoms and metalloids preferentially occupying specific crystallographic sites. This ordering is further supported by <em>ab initio</em> total energy calculation. In turn, the magnetic moment - carried out mainly by Fe and Mn - exhibits a strong dependence on the crystallographic sites occupied by these magnetic atoms.

These outstanding performances suggest that rare-earth free high entropy materials can rival conventional magnetocaloric materials.

Using XRD, DSC, <em>M</em>-<em>T</em> and <em>M</em>-<em>H</em> analyses, the combined effects of compositional tuning and thermal treatment on point defects, internal stress fields, atomic ordering, and magnetic structures were elucidated. The results show that increasing Co content lowers the MT temperature and enhances the ferromagnetism of the austenite, leading to a progressive evolution from a reversible thermoelastic transformation to the kinetic arrest state and finally to the strain-glass-like state. This behavior is attributed to the Co-induced modification of electronic structure and magnetic exchange interactions, which alters the free-energy balance between martensite and austenite. In addition, thermal history further modulates the transformation temperatures and magnetic performance within a given composition: water-quenched samples exhibit higher MT temperature and lower Curie temperature (<em>T</em>_C) of austenite, while aging reduces MT temperature and raises <em>T</em>_C, yielding the widest ferromagnetic austenite stability range and the strongest magneto-structural coupling. Especially, WQ-WQ sample of Co6 alloy exhibits outstanding MCE with a maximum magnetic entropy change (Δ<em>S</em>_M^max) of 28.1 J/(kg·K), effective temperature window (Δ<em>T</em>_FWHM) of 16.4 K and refrigeration capacity (<em>RC</em>) of 405.4 J/kg. Further analysis reveals that WQ suppresses the ordering process and retains anti-site defects, whereas aging promotes vacancy diffusion and atomic rearrangement, resulting in higher chemical ordering degree and enhanced ferromagnetic exchange. The cooperative evolution of vacancies and anti-site defects governs the chemical ordering and magnetic exchange balance, enabling effective control of transformation behavior and magnetic properties.

A 3D-printed carbon nanotube-cobalt (CNT-Co) honeycomb composite was developed as an RF receiving lattice architecture and integrated with an external impedance-matching network, a Schottky-diode voltage-multiplier rectifier, and an energy-storage module. The CNT-Co composite provides complementary dielectric and magnetic dissipation, while the honeycomb architecture promotes field redistribution, extended interaction pathways, and impedance modulation. As a result, the optimized lattice exhibits dual-band broadband attenuation spanning 2.68–3.47 GHz and 7.62–13.50 GHz. Slab-to-lattice comparison was performed using field-distribution simulations and geometric parameter analysis, which revealed that broadening of the RF interaction beyond the intrinsic material response arose from a combination of multiple cavity-assisted reflections, distributed current flow, and local field concentration. Under controlled anechoic-chamber excitation at a fixed transmitter–receiver (Tx-Rx) distance of 30 cm, the rectenna architecture exhibits a higher open-circuit rectified voltage and a broader spectral response than a commercial Wi-Fi antenna under identical rectifier and measurement conditions. In load-defined measurements at 2.45 GHz, the highest delivered direct current (DC) output in the tested resistor range occurred at 100 Ω, reaching 48 μW at 20 dBm, and the honeycomb receiver maintained 2.7–4.7 times higher output power than the commercial reference in the examined input-power range.

Despite extensive studies of zinc deposition, the role of mechanical stress in moss formation remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the evolution of plating stress during zinc electrodeposition in alkaline electrolytes using in-situ stress measurements combined with structural characterization. Zinc deposition is found to generate large compressive stress reaching ∼140 MPa at 5 mA cm⁻², significantly higher than that observed in other electrodeposited metals. The onset of mossy growth coincides with an apparent relaxation of the measured stress. Experiments comparing deposition on hard and soft substrates show that relieving plating stress reduces the nucleation density of moss colonies but does not inhibit their subsequent growth, indicating that stress primarily influences filament nucleation rather than growth. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that moss filaments are single crystalline and grow along non-[0001] directions, with their side surfaces passivated by a crystalline ZnO layer. Based on these observations, we propose a stress-mediated nucleation mechanism, in which compressive stress suppresses adatom incorporation into grain boundaries and promotes the formation of non-[0001]-oriented crystallites that serve as filament precursors. Unlike lithium metal deposition, where stress can directly drive filament extrusion, zinc moss growth proceeds predominantly through tip deposition and is therefore insensitive to stress relief. These findings provide new insights into the origin of mossy zinc formation and highlight the limitations of stress-relief strategies for stabilizing zinc metal anodes in alkaline battery systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18253,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Physics","volume":"64 ","pages":"Article 102102"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
