The grain boundary diffusion process (GBDP) with DyF 3 is a promising method to obtain excellent magnetic properties in Nd–Fe–B permanent magnets. Compared to conventionally prepared (Dy,Nd)–Fe–B magnets the overall content of the precious heavy rare earth Dy is reduced. Thus, the GBDP with DyF 3 is highly attractive…

A recent report proved that polymer residues become grafted to graphene despite the efforts to clean the surface by thermal annealing [Lin, Y.-C., et al. Nano Lett. 2012, 12, 414]. Such residues inevitably originate from the photoresist (e.g., poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)) used for graphene transfer and device pro…

Failure by fracture is a serious problem with multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), and the interior electrodes are known to strengthen MLCCs. Historically, it has been assumed that the dominant strengthening mechanism is crack tip shielding via direct crack tip‐electrode interactions. However, we have found that res…
