Article Abstract
Synthetic antiferromagnetic (AF) pinned layers are widely used in order to reduce the stray field of the pinned layer and stabilize the magnetic alignment of the reference layer in perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). Here, a detailed study of Re concentration dependence of the magnitude of interlayer exchange coupling (|J|) in a synthetic AF system with an Ir-Re interlayer is conducted. We observed strong AF interlayer exchange coupling caused by small amounts of Re addition and phase shift of the AF peak to thinner interlayer region in synthetic AF systems with Ir-Re interlayer. A synthetic AF system with an Ir-Re interlayer has strong AF interlayer exchange coupling and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy which are stable up to 673K annealing, which is compatible with CMOS back-end of line (BEOL) processing. First-principles calculations demonstrate good agreement with experiments, which show a peak of |J| around Re concentration of less than 5 atomic%. The observed Ir-Re interlayer would be one of the promising interlayer materials for MTJs with the synthetic AF structure and be useful for future nonvolatile high-speed memories and logic circuits.

Emergent ferromagnetism on the surface of two-dimensional (2D) MXene is investigated by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and angle-dependent hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES). Focusing on CrN as one of the 2D-MXenes, high quality bilayers of CrN/Co and CrN/Pt are prepared by a magnetron sputtering technique. XMCD reveals the induced magnetic moment of Cr in the CrN/Co interface, while it is not observed in the CrN/Pt interface at room temperature.

Herein, ball-milled magnetic biochar-vermiculite composite (MBC@VT) and ball-milled magnetic biochar-zeolite composite (MBC@ZT) were synthesized via one-step ball-milling, and their adsorption capacities for Pb(II)/P-nitrophenol (PNP) in water were compared. The results demonstrated that the removal of Pb(II) and PNP through both materials was a complex, endothermic reaction mainly driven by chemisorption, with strong tolerance to pH changes and co-existing ions. MBC@VT showed superior adsorption for Pb(II) (reaching 367.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer strong light-matter interaction and design flexibility beyond bulk semiconductors, but an intrinsic limit is the low absorption imposed by the atomic thickness. A long-sought-after goal is to achieve complementary absorption enhancement through energy transfer (ET) to break this limit. However, it is found challenging due to the competing charge transfer (CT) process and lack of resonance in exciton states.

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.

This study presents a simple method for embedding inorganic-organic hybrid lead halide perovskite (CHNH)PbX (X = Cl, Br, or I) nanocrystals (NCs) into the interlayer spaces of the layered polysilicate kenyaite. (CHNH)PbX NC-embedded kenyaite composites (MPX@kenyaite) were synthesized by immersing Pb-containing kenyaite in (CHNH)X-containing 2-propanol. According to X-ray diffraction, small-angle X-ray scattering, and scanning transmission electron microscopy analyses, (CHNH)PbX NCs with diameters of 5.
