Grain boundaries have extensive influence on the performance of crystal materials. However, the atomic-scale structure and its relation with local and crystallographic symmetries remain elusive in low-symmetry crystals. Herein, we find that…
Isotropic diffusion models for Galactic cosmic ray transport put tight constraints on the maximum convection velocity in the halo. For a half halo height of 4 kpc the maximum convection speed is limited to 40 km/s in the halo, since…
Hydrogen diffusion and trapping in ferritic steels containing (Ti,Cr)C particles was investigated using electrochemical permeation (EP) and thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). The trapping parameters for the test materials were evaluated…
Wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors have promising applications in power electronics due to their high voltages, radio frequencies, and tolerant temperatures. Among all the WBG semiconductors, SiC has attracted attention because of its high…

Grain boundary self-diffusion of $^{57}$Co, $^{51}$Cr, $^{59}$Fe and $^{54}$Mn in a coarse-grained, single-phase fcc CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy is measured in a wide temperature range of 643 to 1273~K in both C- and B-type kinetic…
The C-rich AGB star IRC+10216 undergoes strong mass loss, and quasi-periodic density enhancements in the circumstellar matter have been reported. CO is ubiquitous in the CSE, while CCH emission comes from a spatially confined shell. With…
Carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars with s-process enrichment (CEMP-s) are believed to be the products of mass transfer from an AGB companion, which has long since become a white dwarf. The surface abundances of CEMP-s stars are thus commonly…
