Article Abstract

Atomically flat surfaces of van der Waals (vdW) materials pave an avenue for addressing a long-standing fundamental issue of how a compensated antiferromagnet (AFM) surface frustrates a ferromagnetic (FM) overlayer in FM/AFM heterostructures. We investigate FeGeTe/NiPS vdW heterostructures by characterizing AFM and FM spins separately. We find that in-plane zig-zag AFM NiPS develops three equivalent AFM domains, which are robust against external magnetic field and magnetic coupling with FeGeTe. Moreover, evidence is provided of in-plane-AFM-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in adjacent FeGeTe, and an unconventional out-of-plane surface spin canting state with the FeGeTe spins spatially turn from out-of-plane direction near the interface to in-plane direction away from the interface in FeGeTe/NiPS. The out-of-plane surface spin canting is a unique property of spin frustration in vdW magnetic heterostructures.

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) stands among the most toxic naturally occurring substances, with its acute toxicity characterized by the induction of acute hepatic necrosis, hemorrhage, and even fatal outcomes, thereby posing a profound threat to human health. Contamination of AFB1 in food commodities can arise at multiple stages throughout the production cycle, including cultivation, storage, and processing. This contamination cascade permeates the entire food supply chain, encompassing primary agricultural products as well as a diverse range of processed food items.

RuO, the benchmark catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), has traditionally been considered Pauli paramagnetic; however, recent findings have demonstrated its antiferromagnetic (AFM) properties, hinting at the opportunity to enhance RuO's OER performance by manipulating its magnetic traits. In this study, we successfully induced weak ferromagnetism in commercial RuO, transitioning it from an AFM state using an electrochemical sodiation method. This process resulted in high activity, achieving an overpotential of 145 mV to reach 10 mA cm and extending the service hours by more than 13 times compared to pristine RuO in 0.

We report the synthesis and characterization of thiol-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), functionalized with bis(pyrazole)pyridine ligands (L4 and 10), and their subsequent assembly into rectangular nano/microstripes using a lithographically controlled wetting (LCW) technique. The resulting microstructured patterns, with widths of ∼2 μm and heights of 150-200 μm, were employed to simultaneously explore spin crossover (SCO) behavior and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties. Compound 10 exhibited SCO behavior with a molar magnetic susceptibility () of ∼3.

Interactions of Oxygen Vacancies with Photoinduced {Hole/Electron} Pairs in SrTiO : Their Key Role in Photocatalytic H Production.

The present work elucidates the role of lattice oxygen vacancies (Vs) in SrTiO (STO) nanoparticles on the spin dynamics of photogenerated charge carriers (electrons/holes, e/h) and on the photocatalytic hydrogen (H) evolution from HO. V-enriched STO materials (V-STO) were synthesized via anoxic flame spray pyrolysis (A-FSP) technology that allowed production of a library of SrTiO nanomaterials with controlled V concentrations. The optimal V-STO materials exhibited a 200% increase in photocatalytic H production rates compared with pristine STO.

Constructing dual single-atom catalysts with distinct electronic structures holds significance for the design of catalytic active centers, yet it remains highly challenging. Here, a novel light-induced approach was created to construct Ni and Ni dual single-atom sites on ZnIn₂S₄ nanosheets (Ni-Ni/ZIS) for the photocatalytic reduction of CO₂. Characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations results indicate that Ni and Ni single-atom sites can be selectively anchored in the Zn vacancies and lattice interstitials on the surface of ZIS, respectively.
