Article Abstract

The development of high-performance electromagnetic (EM) absorption materials is pivotal in addressing EM pollution. Such absorption materials enable flexible modulation of EM performance, which has become an important focal point of recent research. Among various EM absorption materials, microsphere-based micro/nano materials exhibit extremely high stability and remarkable attributes for modulating their EM performance. By tuning composition, structure, size, and dispersibility, the EM response performance of microsphere materials can be improved through the induced scattering, polarization, magnetic coupling, and magnetic-dielectric coupling effects. The research field of microsphere materials has made significant advances in terms of EM response modulation strategies and absorption mechanisms. This review begins with an introduction to microsphere materials with diverse morphological structures, multi-component designs, and various loss mechanisms, highlighting their EM absorption performance. It is followed by discussions of advanced preparation methods and characterization techniques for the efficient modulation of the microsphere materials and establishment of structure-property relationships. Moreover, challenges and opportunities confronted by the design of microsphere EM absorption materials for intelligent applications will also be presented.

The soil in reclaimed shale gas sites is compacted and suffers from issues like poor drainage, drought conditions, and nutrient deficiency, posing challenges for agricultural production. In this study, rare earth tailings were incorporated into biochar at different mass ratios (rare earth tailings: biochar = 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4). Subsequently, a series of rare earth tailings-doped biochar materials (REE-BC) were prepared by calcination at 700°C.

We propose a scheme for retrieving the ultrafast valley polarization (VP) dynamics in two-dimensional hexagonal materials via attosecond circular dichroism (CD) transient absorption spectroscopy. This approach builds on the CD transition between the first and higher conduction bands induced by the circularly polarized probe pulses. The population imbalance at nonequivalent valleys in the first conduction band is proportionally mapped onto the difference in absorption coefficients of two probe pulses with opposite helicities, supporting an unprecedented quantitative retrieval of the corresponding VP dynamics with subfemtosecond time resolution.

Understanding the excited-state dynamics of atomically precise coinage metal nanoclusters (CMNCs) is pivotal for elucidating their photoluminescence (PL) mechanisms and rationally tuning emission properties-particularly in the near-infrared (NIR) region, where CMNC-based nanomaterials have tremendous potential for biomedical and optoelectronic applications. This review presents a systematic and comprehensive account of recent advances in investigating the excited-state dynamics and PL mechanisms of NIR-emitting CMNCs with atomic precision, leveraging the synergistic integration of time-resolved spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. Distinct from previous reviews that offer a broad survey of CMNC properties, the present review focuses specifically on intrinsic factors, highlighting molecular vibrational features and electronic structure modulation as key determinants of NIR emission.

This study develops an integrated X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) platform on beamline BL09U at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), enabling nanoscale characterization of complex materials through energy-resolved imaging and local-area XAS. By using the wide range of energy tunability, full access to different polarizations and PEEM's surface sensitivity, we have established a gap-monochromator control system under the EPICS framework to synchronize the elliptically polarized undulator (EPU) gap and monochromator energy dynamically, optimizing photon flux stability for absorption fine structure analysis. Combining X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and X-ray magnetic linear dichroism (XMLD) with PEEM and local-area XAS, this platform achieves concurrent mapping of electronic structures and magnetic domains in ferromagnetic nano-patterns, as demonstrated through our studies of NiFe Permalloy using this system.

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO) is a semiconductor with multiferroic properties, synthesized by the sol-gel method. While static high-pressure studies have advanced our understanding of the phase behavior of BiFeO, the effects of dynamic pressure acoustic shock waves remain unexplored. In this study, BiFeO was subjected to 100 shock pulses with 0.
