This study examines the effects of varying negative biases (60 V, 80 V, 100 V) and annealing treatments on the mechanical properties of Ni films deposited on sapphire. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental validation based on results of deposition experiments. With increasing negative bias reduces the grain size of the Ni film and decreases the (111)/(100) phase ratio. After annealing, residual stress within film is released, resulting in increased grain size and a higher content of (100) phase. MD simulations reveal that higher negative biases lead to increased dislocation density in Ni film, with plastic deformation predominantly governed by Shockley and Stair-rod dislocations. After annealing, dislocation density decreases, and under 80 V and 100 V conditions, the emergence of Hirth dislocations facilitates earlier onset of plastic deformation. Differences in phase composition within Ni film cause atomic displacements during indentation to exhibit directionality, which diminishes after annealing. Furthermore, the von Mises strain initially decreases and then increases with rising negative bias. Notably, at 80 V, the film achieves an optimal balance of moderate grain size, low dislocation density, and controlled phase composition, minimizing von Mises strain and exhibiting the highest elastic modulus and hardness. The experimental findings align with MD simulation results based on the COMB3 potential, confirming the reliability of the simulations. This study provides theoretical insights into the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline Ni films under mechanical loading.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21042,"journal":{"name":"Results in Physics","volume":"73 ","pages":"Article 108233"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143785353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our work confirms PM for conventional MCE by simulating the MCE of MnFeP<sub>2/3</sub>Si<sub>1/3</sub> at temperatures between 230 K and 310 K.

Additionally, MnFeP<sub>2/3</sub>Si<sub>1/3</sub>′s relative cooling power is evaluated to be 97 J/kg, and heat capacity change characterization is investigated. By reducing the time and effort required to calculate and measure MCE, these results imply that PM is a trustworthy model for investigating MCE in the sharp magnetic transition. Consequently, the PM is very useful for estimating the MCE of magnets, as the MnFeP<sub>2/3</sub>Si<sub>1/3</sub> sample has a sharp magnetic transition. Consequently, we believe that the PM can also be used for predicting MCE parameters for any magnetic transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21042,"journal":{"name":"Results in Physics","volume":"73 ","pages":"Article 108231"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143776713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intricate geometry of the channel is precisely formulated using an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system, ensuring an accurate representation of the complex structure. The corrugations along the channel walls are mathematically modeled using sinusoidal functions, incorporating a well-defined phase difference to depict the wavy nature of the boundaries. To facilitate analytical treatment, the initially complex boundary layer equations, formulated as a system of partial differential equations, are efficiently transformed into a solvable set of ordinary differential equations using the perturbation method. This approach enables the derivation of an exact solution for velocity, temperature distribution, and volumetric flow rate, with the corrugation amplitude serving as the perturbation parameter. Key parameter effects are vividly illustrated through detailed graphical representations. Furthermore, the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are computed using advanced numerical techniques, with results systematically presented in a comprehensive tabular format across a wide range of parametric values. The study has diverse applications, particularly in biomedical engineering for simulating arterial blood flow and designing stents. It also benefits industrial heat exchangers, microfluidic devices, magnetohydrodynamics systems, and aerospace cooling technologies. The findings contribute valuable insights into fluid mechanics, optimizing flow, and heat transfer in various engineering and scientific applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21042,"journal":{"name":"Results in Physics","volume":"72 ","pages":"Article 108234"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143767635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
