Challenging the ideal strength limit in single-crystalline gold nanoflakes through phase engineering by Tong Zhang, Yuanbiao Tong, Chenxinyu Pan, Jun Pei, Xiaomeng Wang, Tao Liu, Binglun Yin, Pan Wang, Yang Gao, Limin Tong, Wei Yang

“…For example, gold with the conventional face-centered cubic (FCC) phase is highly ductile while the yield strength (~102 MPa) is significantly lower than its ideal theoretical limit. Here, through phase engineering, we show that defect-free single-crystalline gold nanoflakes with the hexagonal close-packed (HCP) phase can exhibit a strength of 6.0 GPa, which is beyond the ideal theoretical limit of the conventional FCC counterpart. …”

Immersion and Invariance Adaptive Control for Spacecraft Pose Tracking via Dual Quaternions by Xiaoping Shi, Xuan Peng, Yupeng Gong

“…By virtue of the newly introduced dual direction cosine matrix, the dimension of the dual quaternion-based relative motion dynamics written in vector/matrix form can be lowered to six. Treating the disturbances as unknown parameters, a modular adaptive pose tracking control scheme composed of two separately designed parts is then derived. …”
