23Na NMR studies of the Na-K eutectic alloy embedded into porous glass with 7 nm pores showed that melting of Na2K confined nanoparticles is a continuous process with smooth changes in the Knight shift of a narrow resonance line and nuclear spin relaxation between those in the crystalline and liquid states. The intermediate state which occurs upon melting is stable and more favorable than the liquid state. The inverse freezing transformation can be sharp as at a first order transition or continuous depending on the initial temperature of cooling. The results suggest revision of theoretical predictions for the melting and freezing transitions in confined geometry.

A two dimensional crystalline layer is found at the surface of the liquid eutectic Au$_{82}$Si$_{18}$ alloy above its melting point $T_M=359 ^{circ}$C. Underlying this crystalline layer we find a layered structure, 6-7 atomic layers thick. This surfa ce layer undergoes a first-order solid-solid phase transition occurring at $371 ^{circ}$C. The crystalline phase observed for T$>$371 $^{circ}$C is stable up to at least 430 $^{circ}$C. Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction data at T$>$371 $^{circ}$C imply lateral order comprising two coexisting phases of different oblique unit cells, in stark contrast with the single phase with a rectangular unit cell found for low-temperature crystalline phase $359 ^{circ}$C$<T<371 ^{circ}$C.

Compositional effects in NaK alloy clusters have been studied using bond order length strength notation and density functional theory calculations. The results reveal binding energy shifts of the NaK alloy clusters under different elemental compositi ons. Atomic arrangements that can be used to predict the structures of stable experimental NaK alloys were also obtained. Our study of these alloy nanoclusters has uncovered a trend correlating atomic position and composition with binding energy. We believe this data will help in the experimental preparation of alloy nanoclusters.
With important application prospects, eutectic high entropy alloys have received extensive attention for their excellent strength and ductility in a large temperature range. The excellent casting characteristics of eutectic high entropy alloys make i t possible to achieve well manufacturability of selective laser melting. For the first time, we have achieved crack-free eutectic high entropy alloy fabricated by selective laser melting, which has excellent mechanical properties in a wide temperature range of -196 degrees Celsius~760 degrees Celsius due to ultra-fine eutectic lamellar spacing of 150 ~ 200nm and lamellar colony of 2 ~ 6 {mu}m. Specifically, the room temperature tensile strength exceeds 1400MPa and the elongation is more than 20%, significantly improved compared with those manufactured by other techniques with lower cooling rate.
We report on the realization of artificial ice using superconducting vortices in geometrically frustrated pinning arrays. This vortex ice shows two unique properties among artificial ice systems. The first comes from the possibility to switch the arr ay geometric frustration on/off through temperature variations, which allows freezing and melting the vortex ice. The second is that the depinning and dynamics of the frozen vortex ice are insensitive to annealing, which implies that the ordered ground state is spontaneously approached. The major role of thermal fluctuations and the strong vortex-vortex interactions are at the origin of this unusual behavior.
In the present work, we employ broadband dielectric spectroscopy to study the molecular dynamics of the prototypical glass former glycerol confined in two microporous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8 and ZIF-11) with well-defined pore diameters of 1.16 and 1.46 nm, respectively. The spectra reveal information on the modified alpha relaxation of the confined supercooled liquid, whose temperature dependence exhibits clear deviations from the typical super-Arrhenius temperature dependence of the bulk material, depending on temperature and pore size. This allows assigning well-defined cooperativity length scales of molecular motion to certain temperatures above the glass transition. We relate these and previous results on glycerol confined in other host systems to the temperature-dependent length scale deduced from nonlinear dielectric measurements. The combined experimental data can be consistently described by a critical divergence of this correlation length as expected within theoretical approaches assuming that the glass transition is due to an underlying phase transition.
