Summary: Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) epitaxial thin films were grown on MgAl2O4 and Al2O3 substrates using reactive magnetron sputtering. The study investigated the structural and magnetic properties of the films, confirming epitaxial growth of ZnFe2O4 with nominal stoichiometric composition and long-range magnetic order. The growth rate of the films was found to be the main parameter influencing the temperature Tf, while growth temperature or Ar:O2 ratio did not have a systematic effect on Tf. The highest Tf, indicating magnetic glassiness, was observed in ZnFe2O4 epitaxial films.

Summary: This study designed four pairs of enantiomers based on chiral binaphthyl skeleton with acceptor-donor-donor-acceptor (ADDA) structure. Among them, R/S-2 and R/S-4 emitters showed TADF characteristics due to their small AE ST values and moderate SOC matrix elements, resulting in high external quantum efficiencies.
