Deep learning-based phase prediction of high-entropy alloys: Optimization, generation, and explanation
Soo Young Lee, Soo Young Lee, Seokyeong Byeon, Hyoung Seop Kim, Hyungyu Jin, Seung‐Chul Lee, Seung‐Chul Lee
SJR Q1Materials & DesignOA

Identifying phase information of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) can be helpful as it provides useful information such as anticipated mechanical properties. Recently, machine learning methods are attracting interest to predict phases of HEAs, which could reduce the effort for designing new HEAs. As research direction is in its infancy, there is still plenty of room to develop machine learning models to improve the prediction accuracy and further guide the design of HEAs. In this work, we employ deep

SJR Q1Energy & Environmental ScienceOA

We report the discovery of a new class of oxides – poly-cation oxides (PCOs) – that consist of multiple cations and can thermochemically split water in a two-step cycle to produce hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) and oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>).

Effect of the magnon dispersion on the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect in yttrium iron garnets
Hyungyu Jin, Stephen R. Boona, Zihao Yang, Roberto C. Myers, Joseph P. Heremans
SJR Q1Physical Review BOA

We study the temperature dependence of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) in an yttrium iron garnet ${\mathrm{Y}}_{3}\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$ (YIG)/Pt system for samples of different thicknesses. In this system, the thermal spin torque is magnon driven. The LSSE signal peaks at a specific temperature that depends on the YIG sample thickness. We also observe freeze-out of the LSSE signal at high magnetic fields, which we attribute to the opening of an energy gap in th

Enhancing the spin Seebeck effect by controlling interface condition in Pt/polycrystalline nickel ferrite slabs
Min Young Kim, Sang J. Park, Hyungyu Jin
SJR Q2Journal of Applied Physics

The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is an emergent thermoelectric phenomenon, which enables a thermal-to-electrical energy conversion via the thermal injection of spin currents from a ferromagnet (FM) into an attached paramagnetic metal (PM). Recent studies have revealed that the SSE is very sensitive to the PM/FM interface condition, suggesting a potential way to enhance the SSE by controlling the interface condition. However, most of the previous studies are limited to conventional Pt/bulk single-cr

Bismuth-antimony ($\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{i}}_{100\text{\ensuremath{-}}x}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{b}}_{x}$) alloys have the highest thermoelectric figure of merit of all $n$-type thermoelectric materials below 200 K. They are the only Te-free thermoelectric alternatives to the tetradymite materials for applications at and below room temperature. Single-crystal $\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{i}}_{100\text{\ensuremath{-}}x}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{b}}_{x}$ alloys show the maximum figure of merit $zT\ensuremath{\sim}0.5$ at

Stretchable electronic devices are known as elastic electronics or circuits. They are typically built by deposition or embedding of devices and circuits onto stretchable substrates, which can sustain large strains without failure. The research on this emerging technology has focused on the development of components based on insulators, conductors, or semiconductors to overcome inherent difficulties of generating mechanically stable layers and interconnections. In addition to the mechanical chall
