Previous works have controversially claimed near-room-temperature ferromagnetism in two-dimensional (2D) VSe, with conflicting results throughout the literature. These discrepancies in magnetic properties between both phases (T and H) of 2D VSe are most likely due to the structural parameters being coupled to the magnetic properties. Specifically, both phases have a close lattice match and similar total energies, which makes it difficult to determine which phase is being observed experimentally. In this study, we used a combination of density functional theory, highly accurate diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC), and a surrogate Hessian line-search optimization technique to resolve the previously reported discrepancy in structural parameters and relative phase stability. With DMC accuracy, we determined the free-standing geometry of both phases and constructed a phase diagram. Our findings demonstrate the successes of the DMC method coupled with the surrogate Hessian structural optimization technique when applied to a 2D magnetic system.

A novel magnetic nanostructured molecularly imprinted polymer probe (FeO@MIP) was developed for the continuous detection of Ti/Fe. The synthesis employed 50 nm FeO nanoparticles as the core matrix, with Ti and Fe serving as template molecules. Functional monomers α-methylacrylic acid (MAA) and acrylamide (AM) were used, along with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinking agent and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the polymerization initiator, utilizing a microwave-assisted procedure.

The solid-solution alloys of Mn-Zn-Ga and Mn-Zn-Sn have been synthesized by a high-temperature method and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. The substitutional solid-solution alloys that crystallize in the chiral space group 432 or 432 adopt the A13-type structure (β-Mn). Similar to β-Mn, the 20 atoms in the cubic unit cell are distributed over 8 and 12 Wyckoff positions.

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.

Constructing structurally sophisticated molecules with interesting properties is the goal of supramolecular chemistry. Herein, two heterometallic clusters, formulated respectively as [GdNi(μ-CO)(μ-NO)(μ-OH)(μ-OH)(μ-CO)(HO)]Cl·49HO·90MeOH (, H = -methyliminodiacetic acid) and [TbNi(μ-CO)(μ-NO)(μ-OH)(μ-OH)(HO)]Cl·50HO·130MeOH (), were obtained by the cohydrolysis of Ln (Ln = Gd, Tb) and Ni in the presence of H and triethylamine. The essentially isostructural cationic cluster cages are constructed by coexisting pentagons and hexagons whose formation is respectively templated by nitrate and oxalate ions.
