Article Abstract

In this paper, we designed and investigated a reduction-based method to synthesize controllably monodisperse superparamagnetic nano FeO colloidal clusters for magnetically responsive photonic crystals. It was shown that the addition of ascorbic acid (VC) to the system could synthesize monodisperse superparamagnetic nano FeO and avoided the generation of γ-FeO impurities, while the particle size and saturation magnetization intensity of nano FeO gradually decreased with the increase of VC dosage. Nano FeO could be rapidly assembled into photonic crystal dot matrix structures under a magnetic field, demonstrating tunability to various diffraction wavelengths. The nano FeO modified by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and silicon coated could be stably dispersed in a variety of organic solvents and thus diffracted different wavelengths under a magnetic field. This is expected to be applied in various scenarios in the field of optical color development.

Ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) based on ferroelectric switching and quantum tunneling effects with thickness down to a few unit cells have been explored for applications of two-dimensional (2D) electronic devices in data storage and neural networks. As a key performance indicator, the enhanced tunneling electrosistance (TER) ratio provides a broader dynamic range for precise modulation of synaptic weights, improving the stability and accuracy of neural networks. Herein, we report an observation of pronounced enhancement in the TER ratio by over 4 orders of magnitude through the fabrication of large-scale heterostructures combining bismuth ferrite with two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper oxide BiFeO.

Essential oils (EOs) are a promising alternative to conventional pesticides, but some challenges like high volatility, poor water solubility, and rapid degradation limit their use in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). To overcome these limitations, this study aimed to develop garlic, eucalyptus, and clove EO-based nano-emulsions (EO-NEs) in a bait treatment format through the high-pressure microfluidization technique and investigated the biological activities against Ceratitis capitata. In addition, the adverse effects of the most promising nano-emulsion were evaluated towards a non-target parasitoid Anagaspis daci.

Room-temperature multiferroic BiFeO (BFO) is a promising candidate for next-generation memory and spintronic devices, but its synthesis is hindered by metastability and complex phase evolution pathways. Achieving atomic-scale control over these pathways is critical for unlocking BFO's functional potential. Here, we integrate atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and density functional theory to dissect the BFO formation mechanism using annealed Bi/Fe thin-film model systems.

Magnetic nanoparticles, particularly iron oxide-based materials, such as magnetite (FeO), have gained significant attention as contrast agents in medical imaging This study aimsto syntheze and characterize FeO-based core-shell nanostructures, including FeO@TiO and FeO@SiO, and to evaluate their potential as tunable contrast agents for diagnostic imaging. FeO, FeO@TiO, and FeO@SiO nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation at varying temperatures from iron salt precursors. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to confirm the presence of Fe-O bonds, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to determine the crystalline phases and estimate average crystallite sizes.
