Article Abstract

This study systematically investigated the effects of the addition of the rare earth element yttrium (Y) on the microstructural evolution, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of as-extruded Al-5.6Zn-2.5Mg-1.6Cu-0.20Cr (wt.%) alloy through comprehensive characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), tensile testing, corrosion analysis, and electron microscopy. Microstructural characterization demonstrated that the incorporation of yttrium resulted in significant refinement of secondary phase particles within the as-extruded alloy matrix. Moreover, quantitative analysis revealed a substantial increase in low-angle grain boundary (LAGB) density, dislocation density, and the formation of subgrain structures. Notably, the volume fraction of η' strengthening precipitates showed a marked increase, accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the width of precipitate-free zones (PFZs) along grain boundaries. Following the T74 aging treatment, the alloy with 0.1 wt.% yttrium addition exhibited a remarkable improvement in intergranular corrosion resistance, with the maximum corrosion depth reduced to 107.8 μm. However, it should be noted that the exfoliation corrosion resistance exhibited an inverse correlation with increasing yttrium content, suggesting a concentration-dependent behavior in corrosion performance.

Efficient, Hierarchical, and Object-Oriented Electronic Structure Interfaces for Direct Nonadiabatic Dynamics Simulations.

J Chem Theory Comput

Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, University of Vienna, Währinger Straße 17, 1090 Vienna, Austria.

We present a novel, flexible framework for electronic structure interfaces designed for nonadiabatic dynamics simulations, implemented in Python 3 using concepts of object-oriented programming. This framework streamlines the development of new interfaces by providing a reusable and extendable code base. It supports the computation of energies, gradients, various couplings─like spin-orbit couplings, nonadiabatic couplings, and transition dipole moments─and other properties for an arbitrary number of states with any multiplicities and charges.

Infected wound treatment remains a critical challenge in clinical medicine. Although existing treatments, like local debridement, antimicrobial agents, and growth factor therapies, have demonstrated certain therapeutic effects, they primarily target only specific stages of wound healing. Moreover, the escalating issue of antibiotic resistance limits their efficacy.
