Summary: This study investigates the nonlinear optical properties of (0-5 at% Co/Sn) doped tin oxide thin films. Linear spectroscopy using UV-Vis spectrometry in the range of 300-900 nm reveals direct band gap energy between 3.74 and 3.79 eV, and Urbach energy ranging from 0.64 to 1.1 eV. The non-linear refractive index and third order nonlinear susceptibility X-(3)(omega) are estimated from self-Kerr effect. The results show that all samples have strong nonlinear susceptibilities in the near ultraviolet range.

Summary: Ta-doped SnO2 films with high conductivity and high optical transparency were successfully fabricated, and their electrical transport properties were investigated. For thick films deposited in pure argon, the interference effect between electron-phonon and electron-impurity scattering should be considered. For thin films, the conductivity and Hall coefficient show a linear relation with the logarithm of temperature, which cannot be explained by the Altshuler-Aronov type electron-electron interaction effect but can be interpreted by the electron-electron interaction effects in the presence of granularity.

Summary: Cobalt-doped tin oxide (SnO2:Co) thin films were successfully deposited on ordinary glass substrate using a simple spray pyrolysis technique at 450 degrees C. XRD analysis revealed a tetragonal crystalline structure with (1 1 1) preferred orientation. Calculations were performed for lattice parameters, crystallite size, strain, and dislocation densities. Optical investigations showed a large optical band gap, which increased significantly with higher cobalt doping. Mechanical properties, such as microhardness, Young modulus, and yield strength, were studied through nanoindentation measurements. Numerical study in Abaqus finite element demonstrated the validity of the model and the effect of cobalt doping on the mechanical properties of SnO2.

Summary: High uniformity AlN thin films with varying Sc doping concentration levels were deposited on Ti (120 nm)/Si substrates. The impact of Sc doping ratio and annealing temperature on the magnetic properties of Al1-xScxN were investigated. It was found that the ferromagnetism of Al1-xScxN originates from the Al vacancies introduced by Sc ions. The concentration of Al vacancies increases with higher Sc doping ratio, resulting in a magnetic phase change according to the results of spin-polarized density of states (DOS).

Summary: Highly porous Ni films were synthesized using custom-made PS-b-P4VP block copolymer micelles as a soft template. The Ni films exhibited large pores with diameters varying from 25 to 600 nm (1:1) and from 10 to 230 nm (1:4). Compared to dense Ni films and highly mesoporous Ni films with monodisperse 10 nm wide pores, the porous Ni films showed significantly improved electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media, with lower overpotential and better long-term stability.

Summary: Magneto-ionics is a promising technology for energy-efficient spintronics, but the post-stimulated behavior of magneto-ionic systems is not well-controlled. In this study, we demonstrate a voltage-controllable N ion accumulation effect on the outer surface of CoN films, allowing for control of magneto-ionic properties during and after voltage pulse actuation. This effect has potential applications in neuromorphic computing, such as post-stimulated neural learning.

Summary: Dense and mesoporous FePd nanowires were successfully fabricated using template- and micelle-assisted pulsed potentiostatic electrodeposition. The structural and magnetic properties of the nanowires were investigated, and it was found that the mesoporous core and dense shell structure slightly affected the magnetic properties. Moreover, the mesoporous nanowires showed excellent performance as SERS substrates for the detection of 4,4'-bipyridine, attributed to the mesoporous morphology and the close proximity of the embedded nanowires enabling localized surface plasmon resonance.

Summary: Tuning the properties of magnetic materials through voltage-driven ion migration allows for energy-efficient and non-volatile magnetic memory and neuromorphic computing. We demonstrated significant changes in magnetic moment and coercivity in an array of CFO nanopillar electrodes with an applied voltage, along with fast magneto-ionic response and high cyclability. The magnetic switching is attributed to the modulation of oxygen content in CFO, and the self-assembled nanopillar structures emulate various synaptic behaviors for analog computing and high-density storage. CFO nanopillar arrays have the potential to be used as interconnected synapses for advanced neuromorphic computing applications.

Summary: Porous FeMn(-xAg) alloys were fabricated through powder metallurgy methods. The effects of porosity and Ag addition on the microstructure, biodegradability, magnetic and mechanical properties of the alloys were investigated. Cytocompatibility, inflammatory cytokine response, and antibacterial effect studies were also conducted. The fabricated alloys exhibited a macro- and nanoporous structure with uniformly distributed silver particles. The biodegradability tests showed higher release of Mn compared to Fe, without significant differences between the alloys. The degradation products mainly consisted of Fe, Mn, O, and compounds enriched in Ca, P, and Cl. The as-sintered alloys showed low saturation magnetization values, which did not significantly increase with immersion time. The biocompatibility results indicated that all tested alloys were non-cytotoxic, but the addition of Ag might interfere with cell proliferation. However, the ions released by the FeMn(-xAg) alloys did not induce an inflammatory response in macrophages. The obtained results on microbiological interactions revealed a significant reduction in the total biofilm biomass of both live and dead bacteria after 24 hours in Ag containing FeMn-5Ag surfaces, although no significant bactericidal effect was observed at 4 hours between FeMn control and FeMn-5Ag.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the polarity of polymer matrices on persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (pRTP). It is discovered that intense phosphorescence emission can be achieved in highly polar matrices such as polyacrylic acid (PAA). The dipole-dipole interaction between the polar fluorophore and polar matrix is proposed to stabilize the excited state and facilitate the generation of efficient room-temperature phosphorescence emissions.

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.
