Dependence of structures and performances of soft-magnetic FeCo-based metal glasses on cryogenic treatments by Xin Zhang, Zongqi Xiao, Xingyu Zhou, Guoqiang Liu, Li Cai, Qikun Huang, Eugen Axinte, Guorong Zhou, Degang Zhao, Yan Wang

“…But the as-spun Fe0.5 shows a more prominent magnetic rejuvenation trend. Additionally, the observation of magneto-optic Kerr microscope displays that magnetic domains around surface defects exhibit a trend from being easy to magnetize to becoming difficult with increasing reverse magnetic field intensity.The cryo-treated Fe0.8 and Fe0.5 ribbons maintaining a completely amorphous structure reveal the improved soft-magnetic property and microhardness, and the performance optimization of Fe0.5 is more sensitive to CTs. …”

Phylogenetic Structure Shifts Across Life-History Stages in Response to Microtopography and Competition in Subtropical Forests by Weiqi Meng, Haonan Zhang, Lianhao Sun, Jianing Xu, Yajun Qiao, Haidong Li

“…The results indicate that the overall community in the Yaoluoping plot exhibited a weakly overdispersed pattern, and key microtopographic factors—including aspect, terrain position index (TPI), terrain ruggedness index (TRI), roughness, and flow direction—significantly influenced the evolution of phylogenetic structure. Distinctions were also observed among saplings, juveniles, and adults in phylogenetic structuring across life-history stages. …”
