Effect of Si on the Formation and Growth of Intermetallic Compounds at Roll-Bonded Aluminum–Steel (Al-St) Interface
The formation and growth of intermetallic compounds (IMC) were investigated using the Al-St clad materials with additional different Si content to aluminum and steel substrate by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The addition of Si to Al (Al-0.8Si/St) can drastically delay the formation of IMC and accelerate the growth of IMC layer. The Si (Al-0.8Si/St) segregates at the interface and inhibits the diffusion of Al atom to steel before the IMC forms, which further decreases the diffusion depth of Al in the steel layer. By contrast, the addition of Si to St (Al/St-0.8Si) has limited impact on delaying the formation and decelerating the growth of IMC layer. The Si (Al/St-0.8Si) hardly affects the diffusion of Fe atom to the aluminum layer. Among the four clad materials, the major IMC layer (η-Fe{sub 2}Al{sub 5}) always exhibits the parabolic growth phenomenon. The addition of Si cannot influence the phase compositions of IMC at the interface between the η-Fe{sub 2}Al{sub 5} layer and the aluminum. However, we observe an extra Fe-rich phase β{sub 1}-Fe{sub 3}Al at the interface between the Fe{sub 2}Al{sub 5} layer and steel substrate in the Al-0.8Si/St clad material.
Effect of Annealing Treatment on Mechanical and Magnetic Softening Behaviors of Cold Rolled Interstitial-Free Steel
The recovery and recrystallization behaviors of low-carbon interstitial-free steel are investigated at different annealing temperatures (200-690 °C) through correlation between the changes in magnetic parameters (coercivity and r.m.s. voltage), hardness, tensile strength and high-angle grain boundary fractions (HAB). Magnetic parameters and tensile strength show a significant change within recovery region (200-500 °C), while the hardness variation is very minimal at this temperature region. On the other hand, the hardness is abruptly changed compared to magnetic properties at higher annealing temperature (550-640 °C). The grain boundary characteristics and microtexture evolution occurring at recrystallization regime are evaluated by orientation imaging microscopy (OIM) and orientation distribution function (ODF) through electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). The increase in recrystallization fraction noticeably affects microtexture property, justifying with the strengthening of γ-fiber, weakening of α-fiber and disappearance of rotated cube component with increasing annealing temperatures.

Reconstruction of slow-roll F(R) gravity inflation from the observational indices
In this work, we introduce a bottom-up F(R) gravity reconstruction technique, in which we fix the observational indices and we seek for the F(R) gravity which may realize them. Particularly, as an exemplification of our method, we shall assume that the scalar-to-tensor ratio has a specific form, and from it we shall reconstruct the F(R) gravity that may realize it, focusing on special values of the parameters in order to obtain analytical results. The observational indices we study are compatible with the latest observational data, and we discuss how the functional form of the observational indices may affect the viability of the model.
Energy technology roll-out for climate change mitigation: A multi-model study for Latin America
In this paper we investigate opportunities for energy technology deployment under climate change mitigation efforts in Latin America. Through several carbon tax and CO 2 abatement scenarios until 2050 we analyze what resources and technologies, notably for electricity generation, could be cost-optimal in the energy sector to significantly reduce CO 2 emissions in the region. By way of sensitivity test we perform a cross-model comparison study and inspect whether robust conclusions can be drawn across results from different models as well as different types of models (general versus partial equilibrium). Given the abundance of biomass resources in Latin America, they play a large role in energy supply in all scenarios we inspect. This is especially true for stringent climate policy scenarios, for instance because the use of biomass in power plants in combination with CCS can yield negative CO 2 emissions. We find that hydropower, which today contributes about 800 TWh to overall power production in Latin America, could be significantly expanded to meet the climate policies we investigate, typically by about 50%, but potentially by as much as 75%. According to all models, electricity generation increases exponentially with a two- to three-fold expansion between 2010 and 2050.Wefind that in our climate policy scenarios renewable energy overall expands typically at double-digit growth rates annually, but there is substantial spread in model results for specific options such as wind and solar power: the climate policies that we simulate raise wind power in 2050 on average to half the production level that hydropower provides today, while they raise solar power to either a substantially higher or a much lower level than hydropower supplies at present, depending on which model is used. Also for CCS we observe large diversity in model outcomes, which reflects the uncertainties with regard to its future implementation potential as a result of the challenges this CO 2 abatement technology experiences. The extent to which different mitigation options can be used in practice varies greatly between countries within Latin America, depending on factors such as resource potentials, economic performance, environmental impacts, and availability of technical expertise. We provide concise assessments of possible deployment opportunities for some low-carbon energy options, for the region at large and with occasional country-level detail in specific cases.

Investigation of deformation twinning under complex stress states in a rolled magnesium alloy
We employed a specially designed semi-circular notch specimen in the current study to generate the various strain conditions, including uniaxial, biaxial, shear, and plane strains, which was utilized to explore the evolution of different deformation twinning systems under complex loading conditions. We found that when using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction mapping method, that the extensive double twins were activated during loading, while nearly no extension twinning activity was detected. After the formation of {10.1} and {10.3} compression twins, they transformed into {10.1}-{10.2} and {10.3}-{10.2} double twins instantaneously at the early stage of deformation. The lattice strain evolutions in different hkls were mapped at selected load levels during the loading-unloading sequence. Finally, the relationship between the macroscopic straining and microscopic response was established.
