Summary: The article explores the application of surface polymerization techniques in novel zinc oxide (ZnO)/polymer hybrids, aiming to enhance the physicochemical properties of polymer materials by precise control of the microstructure of polymer/zinc nanoparticle blends. Progress has been made in this field through the development of controlled radical polymerization methods, enabling deliberate modification of zinc oxide surfaces with polymer chains. The resulting enhancement in particle compatibility allows for the creation of multifunctional polymer/ZnO nanocomposite materials with potential applications in optics, catalysis, energy, and biomedical areas.

Summary: Quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have potential for next-generation display and lighting technologies. A new method of in situ diffusion of magnesium atoms into the ZnO-based electron-transport layers (ETLs) improves the conductivities and luminous efficiencies of QLEDs without sacrificing their quantum efficiencies. This approach can also be applied to other solution-processed LEDs using ZnO-based ETLs.

Summary: This paper describes a method for fabricating acoustic metasurfaces using soft porous polymer materials, with controlled porosity achieved through emulsion templating. By polymerizing water-in-silicone emulsions with controlled water volume fractions and using different drying techniques, materials with fully controlled porosities can be obtained. The ability to spatially control the porosity distribution along metasurface dimensions allows for the creation of gradient-index acoustic materials with potential applications in wavefront shaping.

Summary: This study demonstrates the synthesis of Mie-resonant core-shell particles with overlapping electric and magnetic dipole resonances in the visible spectrum, allowing for tuning of the relative position and intensity of these resonances. Coating high-index particles with low-index shells coalesces the dipoles while maintaining high scattering efficiency, leading to broadband forward scattering. This synthetic strategy opens up new possibilities for metamaterial fabrication with unprecedented control over visible light manipulation.

Summary: This study demonstrates the 3D precipitation of highly fluorescent silver clusters in a Eu3+-doped silver-containing zinc phosphate glass using direct laser writing. It shows the ability to continuously adjust the local tri-chromatic coordinates in the CIE chromaticity diagram between red and white colors, thanks to the laser-deposited dose and resulting tunable combination of emissions from Eu3+ and silver clusters. Additionally, resonant non-radiative energy transfer from excited silver clusters to Eu3+ is achieved, allowing highly localized energy transfer on demand through laser inscription and opening the route to 3D printing of rare earth ions emission in glass.

Summary: We investigate the interface properties between WSi2N4 and Mo2B, O-modified Mo2B, and OH-modified Mo2B nanosheets. We find that WSi2N4 and Mo2B form n-type Schottky contacts, while functionalizing Mo2B with O and OH leads to the formation of both n-type and p-type ohmic contacts with WSi2N4. Additionally, we demonstrate the emergence of quasi-ohmic contact with ultralow lateral Schottky barrier and zero vertical interfacial tunneling barriers in Mo2B(OH)2-contacted WSi2N4.

Summary: When rare-earth ions are embedded in a ferroelectric material, their photoluminescence can serve as an all-optical probe for temperature, electric field, and mechanical stimulus. However, the impact of ferroelectric phase transitions on photoluminescence is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate changes in the photoluminescence of green emission bands during critical ferroelectric transitions in an Er-doped BaTiO3 material. We also find that the intensity ratio and wavelength position difference of sub-peaks provide information on the phase transitions.

Summary: In this study, a new spin-gapless semiconductor material CoFeMnSn is reported, and its stable structure and spin-polarized band structure are determined through experimental realization and theoretical calculations. The compound exhibits a high ferromagnetic transition temperature, making it excellent for room temperature applications. The nearly temperature-independent resistivity, conductivity, and carrier concentration of the compound, adherence to the Slater-Pauling rule, and the high intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity achieved through hole doping further confirm its spin-gapless semiconductor nature. Additionally, the compound's SGS and topological properties make it suitable for spintronics and magneto-electronics devices.
