The single-phase crystal structure of multicomponent oxides is stabilized via configurational entropy (S config). An incrementation in the number of elements magnifies S config which dominates the free energy landscape, overcomes enthalpy in Gibb’s free energy, and reaches a maximum magnitude while entire elements are in equiatomic fractions. Therefore, accurate control of configurational entropy is the main motive force used to achieve phase pure HEOs by the incorporation of more than four cations in the system in equiatomic proportions with random distributions. HEOs are becoming hotcakes in the field of research as it emphasizes on compositions proximally near the centers of the multicomponent phase diagram, where unexpected behaviors can be anticipated. Thus, presenting a crucial research frontier for the material scientists to explore. As the novel design approach of entropy stabilization is still immature, these new oxide candidates can be engineered for practical applications in batteries, capacitors, nuclear reactors, and thermal barrier coatings. This review addresses the properties like electrochemical, electrical, magnetic, mechanical, catalytic, thermal, etc., of HEOs to date, with additionally focusing on their classification, theoretical predictions, and fundamental understanding of entropy engineering including entropy dominated phase stabilization effect.","PeriodicalId":55203,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Solid State and Materials Sciences","volume":"30 11 1","pages":"142 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2021-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82741773","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}

This exclusive benefit of AM has made it an alternative route to conventional manufacturing. Importantly, additively manufactured (AMed) alloys often exhibit improved microstructures, which may provide better properties. The microstructure of an alloy can be tuned by controlling the processing parameters. This study includes an overview of the processing parameters that can influence the microstructural, mechanical, and corrosion properties of AMed alloys. Moreover, the effects of heat treatment on AMed alloys are also discussed. Among various processing parameters, it is observed that the laser power significantly influences the microstructure. The microstructures produced with high laser power are similar to heat-treated samples for 316L stainless steel (SS) and Ti6Al4V. Similarly, variation in scanning speed results in distinct morphology of grains in Ti6Al4V. Moreover, different AM processes, such as SLM and EBM, produce coarse and fine β grains, respectively, in Ti6Al4V. The fabrication of AlSi10Mg yields various sizes of melt pool due to different scanning strategies. Furthermore, mechanical properties such as microhardness is higher and the yield strength is lower for Ti6Al4V fabricated at lower laser power. The corrosion behavior of SLMed Ti6Al4V is different on the perpendicular and parallel planes to the build direction. Due to the increase in grain size after heat treatment, the corrosion resistance of AMed Ti6Al4V and AlSi10Mg is reduced. In contrast, heat treatment applied on 316L, Ti6Al4V, AlSi10Mg, and Inconel 718 is beneficial for mechanical properties. After the development of materials with optimized processing parameters, the research should be conducted on replacement of the wrought alloys with the AMed alloys. It is expected that new applications such as fuel cells and biomedical devices will utilize the AM technology to build parts in the recent future.","PeriodicalId":55203,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Solid State and Materials Sciences","volume":"58 1","pages":"46 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2021-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74364722","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}

Advantages such as solid-state processing, uniform microstructure, shape complexity, low tooling cost and process scalability have made CIP a viable processing route for metals. In addition, the potential to produce near-net-shape parts with minimal material waste has made the process more widely acceptable in niche applications, such as aerospace and automotive. This review assesses the state of the technology in terms of capabilities and limitations, materials, tool design and fabrication, process modeling, post processing and assessment.

Haldane predicted a singlet ground state for isolated integer-spin one-dimensional antiferromagnets with low single-ion anisotropy D. Since then, a lot of species containing chains of integer spin ions were tested to check the basic conjecture on an energy gap separating the continuum of the excited states from the ground state. As a result of these studies, it has been established that there are numerous states competing with the Haldane phase, namely long-range ordered, dimerized, and large-D phases. The long-range magnetic order takes place due to sufficiently strong exchange interactions between adjacent chains. Dimerization results from the alternation of the exchange interactions within the chains. Both uniaxial and rhombic single-ion anisotropies can suppress the Haldane phase, which is robust only until some critical values. The choice between the competing phases depends also on exchange anisotropy. Excellent reviews on the basic results obtained during the first 20 years of investigation of these phenomena provided solid background for the future studies. Here, we present some developments in this field obtained over the next two decades of research on spin-1 chain systems.","PeriodicalId":55203,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Solid State and Materials Sciences","volume":"23 1","pages":"371 - 383"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77378219","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}

However, structural polymers are sensitive and susceptible to thermal and mechanical damage in form of micro-cracks, which are onset to grow deep within the structure where detection and repair are practically impossible. To overcome these problems, broad range of self-healing structures have emerged. This technology has led to an increase in the material’s lifetime and safety while reducing the repair and replacement costs. Capsule-based healing systems are a well-known technology that has many uses in smart protective coatings, dental composites, concrete components, and generally for polymer and fiber-reinforced composites. This article summarizes the research work on the capsule-based self-healing system over the last two decades. In this regard, after a brief introduction, various types of microencapsulation-based methods used in healing systems are classified. After explaining the manufacturing process of capsules, parameters affecting the microencapsulation quality particularly, agitation rate, core to shell weight ratio, monomer viscosity, solvent property, reaction time, temperature, pH, and U/F ratio are explained in detail. Finally, the most common healing efficiency evaluation methods are described. This review provides the reader with an overview of achievements to date, and insight into future development for industrial and engineering applications.
