Hydrogenated Boron Phosphide with the excellent tunability of electronic properties and Current-Voltage responses

Combining the first principles calculations and the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalisms, we decipher the structural, electronic, and transport properties of boron phosphide (BP) with hydrogenation. Hydrogenated BP monolayer is an indirect semiconductor with a wide-bandgap of 3.76 eV that is favorable in power devices. We find that the...

Mesoporous bioactive glass functionalized 3D Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds with improved surface bioactivity

Porous Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds fabricated by means of selective laser melting (SLM),<br/>having controllable geometrical features and preferable mechanical properties, have been developed as a class of biomaterials that hold promising potential for bone repair. However, the inherent bio-inertness of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy as the matrix of the scaffolds...

Pore structure of blended cement paste by means of pressurization¿depressurization cycling mercury intrusion porosimetry

Concrete containing supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) has different durability properties from that containing pure Portland cement. The durability of concrete is always associated with the properties of microstructure, especially pore structure. Pressurization–Depressurization Cycling Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (PDC-MIP) was...
