Single-phase antiperovskite nitride GeNCo3 with space group Pm3̅m is successfully synthesized by a solid-gas reaction. The crystal structure, magnetism, specific heat at low temperatures, Hall effect, and electrical and thermal transport properties are widely investigated. Exhilaratingly, a canonical spin-glass (SG) behavior is observed in GeNCo3 with a freezing temperature T0 = 79.43 K, dynamical exponent zν = 6.156, and flipping time τ0 = 5.0 × 10(-12) s. The origin of the SG state in GeNCo3 is likely due to the atomic disorder introduced by the Ge vacancies. This is further proven by the measurements of Ge0.9NCo3 with more Ge deficiencies.

Layered van der Waals (vdW) materials, characterized by their interlayer vdW gaps, offer exceptional tunability of magnetic properties via intercalation chemistry. A wide range of magnetic behaviors have been observed in nonmagnetic transition-metal dichalcogenides intercalated with magnetic atoms. Beyond the incorporation of magnetic ions, we propose the controlled alkali-ion intercalation of intrinsic vdW magnets as a strategy to probe and manipulate spin populations and exchange interactions within individual magnetic layers.

Carbon-encapsulated γ-FeO nanoparticles (NPs) with emerging proximity effects were synthesized using a single-step solid-state pyrolysis at 750 °C. The morphology and size distribution of the NPs were investigated using high-resolution transmission and scanning electron microscopies revealing that the γ-FeO NPs, with an average diameter of 9 nm, are embedded in the amorphous porous carbon matrix. In addition, other trace phases (FeC and metallic-Fe) were also detected through X-ray absorption spectroscopy and Mössbauer spectrometry.

The present research introduces a novel strategy for tuning magnetic properties by overcoming the compositional limitation of stoichiometric intermetallic compounds via extension of their compositional domain into the valence electron-per-atom () parameter space. Focusing on approximant crystals (ACs), a "double heterovalent elemental substitution" is employed in a stoichiometric Ga-Pt-Gd 2/1 AC whereby is lowered from approximately 1.98 to 1.

Functional brain networks exhibit both cooperative and competitive interactions, yet existing models-assuming purely excitatory long-range coupling-fail to account for the widespread anti-correlations observed in fMRI. Starting from a laminar neural mass framework, where each mass comprises distinct slow (alpha-band) and fast (gamma-band) oscillatory pyramidal subpopulations ( and ), we show how laminar-specific long-range excitatory projections across neural mass parcels can give rise to both cooperation and competition via cross-frequency envelope coupling. We demonstrate that homologous connections across parcels (e.

The discovery of intrinsic magnetism in layered van der Waals (vdW) magnets has received intensive attention due to their fundamental importance in low-dimensional magnetism and potential device applications. To date, most vdW magnets contain 3d transition metals. Extending vdW magnetism to 4d and 5d transition metal systems is therefore of great interest as it offers opportunities to explore exotic magnetic behaviors arising from the interplay between electronic correlations and strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC).
