A Novel Vibration Suppression Method for Welding Robots Based on Welding Pool Instability Evaluation and Trajectory Optimization by Mingtian Ma, Hong Lu, Yongquan Zhang, Zidong Wu, He Huang, Xujie Yuan, Xu Feng, Zhi Liu, Zhangjie Li

“…However, current vibration suppression techniques for welding robots usually only consider the robotic performance while overlooking their impact on the welding metal forming process. Therefore, based on the influence of robot vibration on welding pool stability during the welding process, a new welding robot vibration suppression method is proposed in this paper, along with the establishment of a welding pool stability assessment model. …”

Supramolecular assembly of covalently modified Anderson-type polyoxometalates and crown ethers towards pseudo-rotaxane structures by Yi-An Yin, Wu-Ji Chen, Chun-Yan Liu, Meng-Meng Zhang, Chang-Gen Lin, Haralampos N. Miras, Yu-Fei Song

“…Seven new POM–crown ether complexes were prepared by varying the countercations and the modification mode of the Anderson clusters, and they were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI–TOF–MS), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), etc. Alkali metal cations within the cavities of the crown ethers served as supercations to bind to the POM hybrids, thereby forming supramolecular assemblies with different architectures and compositions. …”

Charge doping into spin minority states mediates doubling of T C in ferromagnetic CrGeTe3 by Liam Trzaska, Lei Qiao, Matthew D. Watson, Monica Ciomaga Hatnean, Igor Marković, Edgar Abarca Morales, Tommaso Antonelli, Cephise Cacho, Geetha Balakrishnan, Wei Ren, Silvia Picozzi, Phil D. C. King

“…Together with density functional theory calculations and Monte Carlo simulations, we show that, surprisingly, the increased T C is mediated by the population of spin-minority Cr t 2g states, forming a half-metallic 2D electron gas. This promotes a novel variant of double exchange, and unlocks a significant influence of Ge – which was previously thought to be electronically inert in this system – in mediating Cr-Cr exchange.…”
