Opportunities of combinatorial thin film materials design for the sustainable development of magnesium-based alloys

Abstract Magnesium-based lightweight structural materials exhibit potential for energy savings. However, the state-of-the-art quest for novel compositions with improved properties through conventional bulk metallurgy is time, energy, and material intensive. Here, the opportunities provided by combin...
