Effect of Hubbard U-corrections on the electronic and magnetic properties of 2D materials: a high-throughput study by Sahar Pakdel, Thomas Olsen, Kristian S. Thygesen

“…Abstract We conduct a systematic investigation of the role of Hubbard U corrections in electronic structure calculations of two-dimensional (2D) materials containing 3d transition metals. Specifically, we use density functional theory (DFT) with the PBE and PBE+U approximations to calculate the crystal structure, band gaps, and magnetic parameters of 638 monolayers. …”

A novel metal transporter mediating manganese export (MntX) regulates the Mn to Fe intracellular ratio and Neisseria meningitidis virulence. by Frédéric J Veyrier, Ivo G Boneca, Mathieu F Cellier, Muhamed-Kheir Taha

“…If the basis of this difference has not yet been fully understood, previous studies (including our own data) have reported that, unlike Ng, Nm tolerates high manganese concentrations. As transition metals are essential regulators of cell growth and host pathogen interactions, we aimed to address mechanisms of Nm Mn²⁺ tolerance and its pathogenic consequences. …”

Wear Resistance of Ceramic Cutting Inserts Using Nitride Coatings and Microtexturing by Electrical Discharge Machining by Marina A. Volosova, Anna A. Okunkova, Elena Y. Kropotkina, Enver S. Mustafaev, Khasan I. Gkhashim

“…The most spread material for those tools is cutting ceramics based on oxides, nitrides of the transition and post-transition metals, and metalloids. This work considers the wear resistance of the cutting insert of silicon nitride with two unique development coatings — titanium–zirconium nitride coating (Ti,Zr)N and complex quad nitride coating with TiN content up to 70% (Ti,Al,Cr,Si)N with a thickness of 3.8–4.0 µm on which microtextures were produced by the assisted electric discharge machining with the electrode-tool of ø0.25 mm. …”
