前段时间投了一篇materials letter,没出意外被拒了回来。本来自己做的东西和结果都是很新的,但是正是因为比较新,还是没有被人认可,所以被拒也就可以理解了,但是收到了这么一个审稿人的意见确实很让人无语 Reviewer #2: The letter studied the transformation from crystalline to amorphous structure induced by HPT at different temperatures in ZrCu and ZrCuAl alloys. The fraction of the amorphous structure increases with increasing the deformation temperature in the alloys, which is great different from that in Ti-Ni-based alloys. Both ZrCu-based and TiNi-based alloys exhibit martensitic transformation. Their lattices should be unstable near the transformation region. So the anomalous behavior is explained by the lattice instability, which is not precise. The authors should perfect the explanation. I regret that I cannot recommend publication of this paper.
In addition, there are a number of grammatical errors and instances of badly worded/constructed sentences, for example: 1. In the 2nd paragraph of the introduction "The tendency to form amorphous structure by HPT in TiNi is...". The sentence should be better "The tendency to form amorphous structure by HPT in the TiNi-based alloys is..." 2. The last sentence in the 2nd paragraph of the introduction "., but not lower than Ms.". The sentence should be "., which is higher than Ms." 3. The last sentence in the 2nd paragraph of the results and discussion "It can be seen that ., but saturates after 325K. " is not clear. 4. The sentence in the 3rd paragraph of the results and discussion "The SAED spots in fig. 3(a) from the martensite phases are stretched severely, implying the accumulative straining achieved. " should be "In Fig. 3(a), the SAED spots of the martensite phases are stretched severely, which implies that the accumulative straining is achieved". 5. The last sentence in the 3rd paragraph of the results and discussion "Similar results and tendency were." should be "Similar results were." 6. The sentence in the 4th paragraph of the results and discussion "The fA in both alloys increases with the increasing ." should be "The fA in both alloys increases with increasing ."
