Multiscale examination of strain effects in Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets
We have performed a combined first-principles and micromagnetic study on the
strain effects in Nd-Fe-B magnets. First-principles calculations on Nd2Fe14B
reveal that the magnetocrystalline anisotropy (K) is insensitive to the
deformation along c axis and the ab in-plane shrinkage is responsible for the K
reduction. The predicted K is more sensitive to the lattice deformation than
what the previous phenomenological model suggests. The biaxial and triaxial
stress states have a greater impact on K. Negative K occurs in a much wider
strain range in the ab biaxial stress state. Micromagnetic simulations of
Nd-Fe-B magnets using first-principles results show that a 3-4% local strain in
a 2-nm-wide region near the interface around the grain boundaries and triple
junctions leads to a negative local K and thus decreases the coercivity by
~60%. The local ab biaxial stress state is more likely to induce a large loss
of coercivity. In addition to the local stress states and strain levels
themselves, the shape of the interfaces and the intergranular phases also makes
a difference in determining the coercivity. Smoothing the edge and reducing the
sharp angle of the triple regions in Nd-Fe-B magnets would be favorable for a
coercivity enhancement.Comment: 9 figure
Research on the Application of Blockchain in SMEs Credit Risk
The credit of an enterprise is related to its own development. This paper mainly discusses the relationship between the credit risk of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the application degree of blockchain. 64 listed companies with block chain technology as the core theme are selected to analyze their comprehensive financial data. Factor analysis is used to quantitatively evaluate the application degree of blockchain in SMEs, and then the Logistic model is used to evaluate the credit risk of SMEs. Finally, combining the application degree of blockchain in small and medium-sized enterprises and the credit risk assessment of these two groups of data. It confirms the conclusion that the higher the degree of blockchain application, the closer the supply chain finance relationship, and the better the credit status
Features and stability analysis of non-Schwarzschild black hole in quadratic gravity
Black holes are found to exist in gravitational theories with the presence of
quadratic curvature terms and behave differently from the Schwarzschild
solution. We present an exhaustive analysis for determining the quasinormal
modes of a test scalar field propagating in a new class of black hole
backgrounds in the case of pure Einstein-Weyl gravity. Our result shows that
the field decay of quasinormal modes in such a non-Schwarzschild black hole
behaves similarly to the Schwarzschild one, but the decay slope becomes much
smoother due to the appearance of the Weyl tensor square in the background
theory. We also analyze the frequencies of the quasinormal modes in order to
characterize the properties of new back holes, and thus, if these modes can be
the source of gravitational waves, the underlying theories may be testable in
future gravitational wave experiments. We briefly comment on the issue of
quantum (in)stability in this theory at linear order.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, several references added, version

4-Iodoanilinium perchlorate 18-crown-6 clathrate
In the title compound, C6H7IN+·ClO4
−·C12H24O6, the protonated 4-iodoanilinium cation interacts with the 18-crown-6 through three N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a rotator–stator-like structure. The cation, anion and 18-crown-6 molecule all have crystallographically imposed mirror symmetry
