This work was focused on enhancement in the plasticity of Fe_(25)Co_(25)Ni_(25)(Si_(0.3)B_(0.7))_(25) high entropy bulk metallic glass(HE-BMG)by adding minor Cu(0–1.2,in at.%).It is found that the appropriate addition of Cu can efficiently improve the plasticity of the present HE-BMG while the excessive addition of Cu will deteriorate again the plasticity,and especially,the plastic strain of the present HE-BMG is improved from 0.8%for the Cu-free alloy to 4.7%for the 0.3 at.%Cu-added *** transmission electron microscopy observation shows that there are manyα-Fe(Co,Ni)clusters with sizes of less than 5 nm dispersed in the glassy matrix in the 0.3 and 0.6 at.%Cu-added alloys,which may account for the significant improvement in the plasticity of the two alloys,and further increase in Cu content more than 0.9 at.%leads to the precipitation ofα-Fe(Co,Ni)and Fe(Co,Ni)B compound grains with diameters of tens of nanometers,in which the plasticity of the present HE-BMGs has deteriorated rapidly.

In the future, the Very Large Area gamma-ray space Telescope is expected to observe high-energy electrons and gamma rays in the MeV to TeV range with unprecedented acceptance. As part of the detector suite, a high-energy imaging calorimeter(HEIC) is currently being developed as a homogeneous calorimeter that utilizes long bismuth germanate(BGO) scintillation crystals as both absorbers and detectors. To accurately measure the energy deposition in the BGO bar of HEIC, a highdynamic-range readout method using a silicon photomultiplier(SiPM) and multiphotodiode(PD) with different active areas has been proposed. A prototype readout system that adopts multichannel charge measurement ASICs was also developed to read out the combined system of SiPMs and PDs. Preliminary tests confirmed the feasibility of the readout scheme, which is expected to have a dynamic range close to 10~6.

The Van Allen radiation belts are doughnut-shaped zones surrounding Earth, filled with highly energetic charged particles whose sources or loss mechanisms have been investigated for decades. As for the inner belt, cosmic ray albedo neutron decay(CRAND),radial diffusion, and local acceleration have been considered principal sources of electrons, whereas protons are predominantly from CRAND and solar protons. In this article, lightning-induced neutrons from Earth's upper atmosphere are suggested as a possible source of protons and electrons in the inner radiation belt. These terrestrial neutrons can contribute to the inner belt population by undergoing nuclear decay. Several approaches are proposed and discussed to evaluate the potential contribution of lightning-induced neutrons to the inner belt, including magnitude estimation, Monte Carlo simulations, and in situ observations. This article discusses some avenues of further study to determine the contribution of lightning-induced neutrons to the inner radiation belt.
