Article Abstract

Conventional computing systems, based on silicon transistors, face challenges in meeting the growing demand for high computing efficiency in applications such as big data and artificial intelligence. Spin-based logic devices, particularly those utilizing chiral domain walls, offer a promising alternative due to their potential for high-performance and integration with high-density memory. Here, heterostructures composed of magnetic insulator TbIG and ultrathin Co layers are created, enabling field-free current-driven domain-wall motion at speeds exceeding 1.4 km s. Based on the unique velocity phase diagram with respect to the in-plane field and current density, the implementation of all 16 two-input Boolean logic operations, including NAND, AND, XOR, and XNOR, is experimentally demonstrated by adjusting the current density and initial magnetization state. The results highlight the feasibility of multifunctional logic gates in spintronic systems and show the potential for energy-efficient, high-density in-memory computing architectures.

Precise control of spin states and spin-spin interactions in atomic-scale magnetic structures is crucial for spin-based quantum technologies. A promising architecture is molecular spin systems, which offer chemical tunability and scalability for larger structures. An essential component, in addition to the qubits themselves, is switchable qubit-qubit interactions that can be individually addressed.

Rapid strides in portable electronics and telecommunication technologies have sharply escalated the demand for high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials that effectively suppress secondary electromagnetic pollution while simultaneously integrating thermal management. Here an innovative, lightweight, hierarchical triple-layer aerogel structure comprising nickel (Ni) foam (NiF), titanium carbonitride (TiCNT) MXene, and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), fabricated via a facile, one-step bidirectional freeze-casting process is presented. This asymmetric aerogel architecture strategically employs an impedance-matching MXene/PVA top layer for optimized microwave entry, a NiF/MXene/PVA interlayer introducing magnetic loss and enhancing heat conduction, and a reflective, thermally foamed MXene bottom layer promoting internal reflection for superior energy absorption.

The interplay between topology and magnetism induces various exotic quantum phenomena, with magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) serving as a prominent example due to their ability to host the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE). However, the realization of the QAHE at a higher temperature approaching the magnetic transition temperature remains a significant challenge, primarily due to the scarcity of suitable material platforms and our limited understanding of the intricate relationships among band topology, magnetism, and defects. Here, we report a comprehensive investigation of MnSbTe·(SbTe) ( = 0-5) single crystals, including the discovery of the novel MnSbTe pure phase.

We report measurements of the normal-state and superconducting properties of thin-film NbTiN usingLi-detected nuclear magnetic resonance (-NMR). In these experiments, radioactiveLiprobes were implanted 21 nm below the surface of a NbTiN(91 nm) film in NbTiN/(91 nm)/AlN(4 nm)/Nb and its NMR response recorded (viaLi's-emissions) between 4.6 K and and 270 K in a 4.
