Article Abstract
Applying electric field to control magnetic properties is a very efficient way for spintronics devices. However, the control of magnetic characteristics by electric fields is not straightforward, due to the time-reversal symmetry of magnetism versus spatial inversion symmetry of electricity. Such fundamental difficulty makes it challenging to modify the topology of magnetic skyrmionic states with electric field. Here, we propose a novel mechanism that realizes the electric-field (E) switching of magnetic topological charge (Q) in a controllable and reversible fashion, through the mediation of electric polarization (P) and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (D). Such a mechanism is coined here EPDQ. Its validity is demonstrated in a multiferroic VOI_{2} monolayer, which is predicted to host magnetic bimerons. The change in magnetic anisotropy is found to play a crucial role in realizing the EPDQ process and its microscopic origin is discussed. Our study thus provides a new approach toward the highly desired electric-field control of magnetism.

Improving electrostrain in lead-free piezoelectric materials is critical for practical use. This study examines KTN crystals and employs two primary strategies to enhance their electrostrain: (1) Cu doping creates a restoring force enabling reversible domain switching. (2) Polarizing Cu:KTN crystals and applying an electric field perpendicular to the polarization direction ensure that all domains contribute to the strain.

Neuromorphic multimodal perception of sensory systems can integrate the stimulation from different senses, thus enhancing the perception accuracy of organisms to understand the external environment. An optoelectronic memristor with the capability to combine multidimensional sensing and processing functions is highly desirable for developing efficient neuromorphic multimodal sensory systems (MSSs). In this work, a tellurene (Te) nanoflake-based optoelectronic memristor relying on solution plasma process (SPP) treatment is demonstrated for the first time, which is capable of combining infrared (IR) optical and electrical stimuli in a single synaptic device for a multisensory integration function.

Heterogeneous catalysis involves the chemical transformation of molecules at an electrode surface, but experimentally probing the impact of the electric field on the structural dynamics of the molecules and any accompanying solvent dynamics remains a significant challenge. In this study, we conducted molecular dynamics simulations of a system comprising pure water in contact with gold (Au) electrodes coated with 4-mercaptobenzonitrile (4-MBN) molecules, as recently measured using 2D IR spectroscopy (Ryan, M.

Rydberg atoms are widely employed in precision spectroscopy and quantum information science. To minimize atomic decoherence caused by the dc Stark effect, the electric field noise at the Rydberg atom location should be kept below ∼10 mV/cm. Here, we present a simple yet effective electronic circuit, referred to as a clamp switch, that allows one to realize such conditions.

The polarization switching pathway in HfZrO-based ferroelectric thin film is still not well clarified and agreed, limiting the fundamental physical understanding and performance engineering. The key question lies in clarifying the transient intermediate state during the polarization switching of orthorhombic phase. In this work, by designing the ferroelectric and dielectric stacks, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a polarization switching pathway through an orthorhombic-tetragonal-orthorhombic phase transition in ferroelectric HfZrO where the non-polar tetragonal phase is metastable.
