This study reports the superior tensile properties of laser powder bed fused (L-PBF) Hastelloy X compared to wrought, exhibiting enhanced yield strength and improved ductility. By analyzing response a variety microstructures ranging from fully dendritic solutionized, as-solidified fine inter-dendritic region network was determined be responsible for this superiority. Characterized by high chemi...

Iron chalcogenides, binary FeSe, FeTe and ternary FeTe x Se1-x , FeTe x S1-x and FeTe:O x , are the simplest compounds amongst the recently discovered iron-based superconductors. Thin films of iron chalcogenides present many attractive features that are covered in this review, such as: (i) easy fabrication and epitaxial growth on common single-crystal substrates; (ii) strong enhancement of supe...
