Article Abstract

An external magnetic field has recently been applied in reaction processes to promote movement and avoid agglomeration of magnetic particles, and also reduce the activation energy through improving the gas-solid contact. In this work, the effect of an external magnetic field on reactant gas diffusivity and reactivity in CO hydrogenation within a confined-space catalyst was investigated for the first time using a conventional reactor packed with a bimetallic 5Fe-5Co/ZSM-5 molecular sieve catalyst. The synergistic effect between magnetic field and limited mass transfer within zeolite cavities improved the mass transfer ability and reaction phenomena of the reactant molecules, leading to enhancement of catalytic activity with tailored reaction pathways. As a result, CO conversion and CH selectivity were increased by factors of 1.9 and 1.3 compared to those without a magnetic field. These synergistic interactions are able to provide an innovative challenge for green and sustainable chemical processes and separation processes by means of selective reactant and product mass transfer designed for selective catalytic conversion in the future.

We demonstrate a novel approach to controlling and stabilizing magnetic skyrmions in ultrathin multilayer nanostructures through spatially engineered magnetostatic fields generated by ferromagnetic nanorings. Using analytical modeling and micromagnetic simulations, we show that the stray fields from a Co/Pd ferromagnetic ring with out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy significantly enhance the Néel-type skyrmion stability in an Ir/Co/Pt nanodot, even stabilizing the skyrmion in the absence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. We demonstrate precise control over the skyrmion size and stability.

Owing to their distinctive thickness and physical attributes, two-dimensional (2D) materials have exhibited considerable promise in the field of microelectronic devices. Notably, 2D magnetic materials that maintain long-range magnetic order and can be readily modulated by external fields have garnered substantial attention. However, CrSBr, despite being a 2D van der Waals (vdW) semiconducting magnet with an appropriate band gap and stability in air, faces significant hindrance for practical utilization due to its Curie temperature () of 146 K.

Achieving magnetic ordering in low-dimensional materials remains a key objective in the field of magnetism. Herein, coordination chemistry emerges as a powerful discipline to promote the stabilization of magnetism at the nanoscale. We present a thorough study of exemplary two-dimensional metal-organic nanoarchitectures synthesized on a Au(111) substrate, which are rationalized by using surface-science techniques and theoretical calculations.

Implant-associated infections caused by bacterial biofilms remain a major clinical challenge, with high morbidity, often necessitating prolonged antibiotic therapy or implant revision surgery. To address the need for noninvasive alternatives, we investigated the use of alternating magnetic fields (AMFs) as a localized treatment modality for eradicating biofilms on titanium implant model surfaces. We demonstrate that AMF exposure effectively removes biofilms and kills bacteria at moderately elevated temperatures on the implant.
