The instabilities have been assigned to direct chemical reactions between LiGaO2 coexisting phases and Li metal by several groups previously. Yet, the understanding of the role of LiGaO2 in the electrochemical cell and its electrochemical properties is still lacking. Here, we are investigating the electrochemical properties of LiGaO2 through electrochemical tests in galvanostatic cells versus Li metal and complementary ex situ studies via confocal Raman microscopy, quantitative phase analysis based on powder X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The results demonstrate considerable and surprising electrochemical activity, with high reversibility. A three-stage reaction mechanism is derived, including reversible electrochemical reactions that lead to the formation of highly electronically conducting products. The results have considerable implications for the use of Ga-doped Li7La3Zr2O12 electrolytes in all-solid-state Li-metal battery applications and raise the need for advanced materials engineering to realize Ga-doped Li7La3Zr2O12for practical use.}, language = {en} } @article{EichlerBalcBremenetal.2024, author = {Eichler, Fabian and Balc, Nicolae and Bremen, Sebastian and Nink, Philipp}, title = {Investigation of laser powder bed fusion parameters with respect to their influence on the thermal conductivity of 316L samples}, series = {Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing}, volume = {8}, journal = {Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing}, number = {4}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2504-4494}, doi = {10.3390/jmmp8040166}, pages = {12 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {The thermal conductivity of components manufactured using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), also called Selective Laser Melting (SLM), plays an important role in their processing. Not only does a reduced thermal conductivity cause residual stresses during the process, but it also makes subsequent processes such as the welding of LPBF components more difficult. This article uses 316L stainless steel samples to investigate whether and to what extent the thermal conductivity of specimens can be influenced by different LPBF parameters. To this end, samples are set up using different parameters, orientations, and powder conditions and measured by a heat flow meter using stationary analysis. The heat flow meter set-up used in this study achieves good reproducibility and high measurement accuracy, so that comparative measurements between the various LPBF influencing factors to be tested are possible. In summary, the series of measurements show that the residual porosity of the components has the greatest influence on conductivity. The degradation of the powder due to increased recycling also appears to be detectable. The build-up direction shows no detectable effect in the measurement series.}, language = {en} } @masterthesis{Bartz2024, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Bartz, Markus}, title = {Dupiano : Ein aus einem Bauelement auffaltbarer Keyboradst{\"a}nder mit dem Erscheinungsbild eines akustischen Klavieres.}, publisher = {FH Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, pages = {123 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Klavierspielende K{\"u}nstlerinnen und K{\"u}nstler finden sich auf der B{\"u}hne meist an einer Kombination aus Keyboard und Keyboardst{\"a}nder wieder.

Design: We used Scopus and ACM as our search engines. We compared the results with two literature surveys to assess the search quality. We included peer-reviewed English publications introducing or comparing active learning strategies for entity recognition. Results: We analyzed 62 relevant papers and identified 106 active learning strategies. We grouped them into three categories: exploitation-based (60x), exploration-based (14x), and hybrid strategies (32x). We found that all studies used the F1-score as an evaluation metric. Information about hardware (6x) and execution time (13x) was only occasionally included. The 62 papers used 57 different datasets to evaluate their respective strategies. Most datasets contained newspaper articles or biomedical/medical data. Our analysis revealed that 26 out of 57 datasets are publicly accessible. Conclusion: Numerous active learning strategies have been identified, along with significant open questions that still need to be addressed. Researchers and practitioners face difficulties when making data-driven decisions about which active learning strategy to adopt.
