“The multiple orientation relationships and morphology of beta phase in Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy”. Weng Y, Jia Z, Ding L, Muraishi S, Wu X, Liu Q, Journal of alloys and compounds 767, 81 (2018). http://doi.org/10.1016/J.JALLCOM.2018.07.077 Abstract: The orientation relationships (ORs), segregation behavior and morphologies of beta precipitate in an over aged Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy are systematically characterized by atomic resolution high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). Six different ORs and two morphologies, i.e. rod-and lath-like are revealed for beta precipitates, and Cu segregation at the (beta/alpha-Al interface is observed in all these precipitates. The rod-like beta precipitate has multiple beta-angles ranging from 6.1 to 14.1 degrees and non-uniform Cu segregation at the (beta/alpha-Al interface, while the lath-like beta precipitate has a constant beta-angle of 0 degrees and a periodic Cu segregation. These different ORs are explained to be attributable to the rotation of QP lattice, a near-hexagonal network of Si columns formed within beta precipitates, which causes different lattice matching of beta with alpha-Al lattice. These findings provide new insights in controlling the precipitation hardening and mechanical properties of this type of alloys. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

“Application of Gielis transformation to the design of metamaterial structures”. de Jong van Coevorden CM, Gielis J, Caratelli D, Journal of physics : conference series 963, Unsp 012008 (2018). http://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/963/1/012008 Abstract: In this communication, the use of Gielis transformation to design more compact metamaterial unit cells is explored. For this purpose, transformed complementary split ring resonators and spiral resonators are coupled to micro-strip lines and theirbehaviour is investigated. The obtained results confirm that the useof the considered class of supershaped geometries enables the synthesis of very compact scalable microwave components.
