Designing multifunctional nanoarchitectures that integrate distinct physical phenomena is paramount for next-generation electronics. Here, we report the emergence of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) coexisting with robust multiferroicity at complex oxide heterointerfaces. Synthesized atomic layer deposition (ALD), these ultrathin heterostructures comprise a ferroelectric TiSnO layer coupled with ferromagnetic Cr-doped SnO. This unique integration engenders strong spin-charge-lattice interactions within the 2DEG, driven by the coupling between switchable ferroelectric domains and itinerant ferromagnetism. Piezoresponse force microscopy confirms tunable ferroelectric polarization, while magnetotransport measurements, including clear Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, reveal high-mobility quantum transport within the 2DEG. Critically, the heterostructure exhibits dynamic capacitive-to-inductive transitions and current-induced polarization switching, characteristic of ferroelectric memristive behavior suitable for FET-based artificial synaptic junctions. Programmable pulse transient current responses demonstrate the potential for emulating synaptic plasticity. These findings unveil an all-oxide platform uniquely combining ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, memristive switching, and quantum transport, paving the way for novel spin-orbitronic devices and energy-efficient neuromorphic computing architectures.

Recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials have promoted significant progress in low-dimensional magnetism and its technological applications. Among them, atomically thin chromium trihalides (CrX with X = Cl, Br, and I) are among the most studied 2D magnets due to their unique magnetic properties. In this work, we employ density functional theory calculations to investigate the mechanical and electronic properties of CrX monolayers in the presence of in-plane uniaxial strain.

High-density mirror twin boundaries (MTBs) embedded in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have emerged as fascinating platforms for exploring charge density wave and Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid-related issues. However, the reversible manipulation of high-density MTBs in 2D TMDCs remains challenging. Herein, we report the first fabrication of high-density MTB loops in ultrathin 1T-NiTe on the SrTiO(001) substrate, by postannealing as-grown 1T-NiTe under Te-deficient conditions.

In this work, we report a facile strategy for synthesizing hydrophilic Gd(OH) sheets via a Gd-based interfacial precipitation reaction at the interface of organosilane-modified GdO nanoparticles and a cation exchange resin. This strategy, independent of the specific organosilane used, produces two-dimensional sheets with a distinct lamellar structure and excellent aqueous dispersibility. Characterization confirms the formation of Gd(OH) sheets with promising fluorescent and magnetic properties.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer a valuable platform for manipulating and studying chemical reactions at the atomic level, owing to the ease of controlling their microscopic structure at the nanometer scale. While extensive research has been conducted on the structure-dependent chemical activity of 2D materials, the influence of structural transformation during the reaction has remained largely unexplored. In this work, we report the layer-dependent chemical reactivity of MoS during a nitridation atomic substitution reaction and attribute it to the rearrangement of Mo atoms.

In this study, a MoC-MoO@NCrGO-900 composite catalyst comprising two-dimensional nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NCrGO) and ultrasmall molybdenum carbide-molybdenum dioxide (MoC-MoO) heterojunctions was synthesized. The optimized catalyst exhibited an outstanding oxidative desulfurization (ODS) performance. Specifically, a model oil containing 4000 ppm sulfur was completely desulfurized within 30 min, with a desulfurization efficiency of 98.
