Asymmetric defect distribution generates bulk Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction in Pt/Co/Pt

The Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) in magnetic multilayers plays a pivotal role in spintronic applications by enabling the stabilization and manipulation of chiral spin textures, including chiral domain walls and skyrmions. While interfacial DMI in asymmetric multilayers...

Electrochemical Imaging of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Sites at Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Nanosheets

Understanding spatial heterogeneity in catalytic activity is essential for designing efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts. In this study, scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) was employed to directly image local HER activity on transition metal dichal...

Improvement in Surface Quality of Ironing Product Using Differential Lubrication

Ironing is an effective process for precisely finishing a formed product at the final stage of a series of forming processes. Generally, a high-performance lubricant oil with high viscosity is used to prevent galling under severe forming conditions, but high-viscosity oil is diff...
