Effects of Vacancy Cluster Defects on Electrical and Thermodynamic Properties of Silicon Crystals by Pei-Hsing Huang, Chi-Ming Lu

“…A first-principle plane-wave pseudopotential method based on the density function theory (DFT) was employed to investigate the effects of vacancy cluster (VC) defects on the band structure and thermoelectric properties of silicon (Si) crystals. Simulation results showed that various VC defects changed the energy band and localized electron density distribution of Si crystals and caused the band gap to decrease with increasing VC size. …”

Effect of static magnetic field on microstructure and mechanical property of AlSi10Mg alloy by laser directed energy deposition by Weiming Niu, Bingke Song, Jiasen Han, Haiou Yang, Zhaopu Yao, Hui Chen, Xin Lin

“…The magnetic field is effective in refining grain structures and promoting the columnar-to-equiaxed transition of LDED process, while its influence on fusion defects of pores is not remarkable. Due to the thermoelectric-magnetic effect, the volume force imposed on the dendrite is sufficient to fracture the dendrite arm and then reduce the dendrite spacing. …”
