Electrochemistry of vanadium(II) and the electrodeposition of aluminum-vanadium alloys in the aluminum chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride molten salt by Tsuda T., Hussey C.L.

“…X-ray analysis of Al-V alloys that were electrodeposited on a rotating copper wire substrate indicated that these alloys did not form or contain an intermetallic compound, but were non-equilibrium or metastable solid solutions. The chloride-pitting corrosion properties of these alloys were examined in aqueous NaCl by using potentiodynamic polarization techniques. …”

Electric-field manipulation of magnetization in an insulating dilute ferromagnet through piezoelectromagnetic coupling by Dariusz Sztenkiel, Katarzyna Gas, Nevill Gonzalez Szwacki, Marek Foltyn, Cezary Śliwa, Tomasz Wojciechowski, Jarosław Z. Domagala, Detlef Hommel, Maciej Sawicki, Tomasz Dietl

“…Employing a macroscopic spin model and atomistic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert theory with Langevin dynamics, we demonstrate that the magnetoelectric response results from the inverse piezoelectric effect that changes the trigonal single-ion magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Second, in the metastable regime of ferromagnetic hystereses, the magnetoelectric effect becomes non-linear and irreversible in response to a time-dependent electric field, which can reorient the magnetization direction. …”

Cooperation in the face of crisis: effect of demographic noise in collective-risk social dilemmas by José F. Fontanari

“…We use simulations and finite-size scaling to show that cooperators eventually die off and derive scaling laws for the transient lifetimes or half-lives of the coexistence metastable state. We find that for high risk, the half-life of cooperators increases exponentially with population size, while for low risk, it decreases exponentially with population size. …”
