The temperature dependence of the magnetic properties of Ni80Fe20 thin films with dilute Nd dopants has been studied. The effect of Nd dopants on the hysteresis loops of Nd-doped Ni80Fe20 thin films is small at room temperature but large at low temperature. The measurements show an interesting temperature dependence of the coercivity with different concentrations of Nd impurities, which might be related to the film structure. The temperature dependence of the saturation magnetization for Nd-doped Ni80Fe20 thin films is fitted by a theoretical expression of spin-wave excitation plus Stoner-type-like contribution, in which the spin-wave excitation plays a main role at low temperature. The spin-wave stiffness constant D evaluated from the fitting shows a strong doping concentration dependence. (C) 2014 Elsevier By. All rights reserved.

Ferroelectricity induced by the absorption of water molecules on double helix SnIP

Dan Liu, Ran Wei, Lin Han, Chen Zhu, Shuai Dong

Summary: In this study, ferroelectricity in a one-dimensional system of double helix SnIP with absorbing water molecules was investigated. The orientation of polarized water molecules in the R2 region of SnIP and the displacement of I atom due to interaction with absorbed water molecules were identified as critical factors for electrical polarization. A plausible scenario for polarization flipping was proposed, involving the rolling-up of water molecules while maintaining their electrical dipole magnitude and changing their direction, along with the reverse displacement of I atoms. The introduction of strain was found to greatly enhance polarization, with up to 26.5% improvement under tensile strain and only 4% degradation under compressive strain. Additionally, strain was found to be correlated with the direct band gap.

Summary: This study successfully enhances the photoelectrochemical performance by designing a bioinspired ivy-like Fe2O3 heterostructure. The ivy-like Fe2O3 photo-sheets enhance light harvesting, while the oxygen vacancies on Fe(2)O(3) photo-sheets promote reactivity. The tip-edges within the ivy-like Fe2O3 photo-sheets enable a hydrophilic and aerophobic surface, providing a high density of unoccupied active sites. The Fe2O3@TiO2 nanofibers exhibit excellent photocurrent, high donor density, and rapid oxygen production rate.

Magnetization dependent spin orbit torques generated by ferrimagnetic FeCoTb alloys

Qian Chen, Qingjie Guo, Zhaocong Huang, Bin Fang, Shangkun Li, Weiming Lv, Rongxin Li, Yi Luo, Jun Du, Baoshun Zhang, Ya Zhai, Yaming Fan, Zhongming Zeng

Summary: We present a study on spin-orbit torques (SOTs) generated by ferrimagnetic FeCoTb alloys in spin valve structures. Our results show high-efficient damping-like and field-like torques and a spin Hall conductivity of FeCoTb that surpasses that of conventional heavy metals. The magnetization dependent behavior of the SOTs, possibly originating from the anomalous Hall effect dominated by Tb magnetization, can be controlled by manipulating the magnetic configuration. This study highlights the potential of ferrimagnetic materials for low-power spintronic applications.

Evidence of the Anomalous Fluctuating Magnetic State by Pressure- Driven 4f Valence Change in EuNiGe3

K. Chen, C. Luo, Y. Zhao, F. Baudelet, A. Maurya, A. Thamizhavel, U. K. Roessler, D. Makarov, F. Radu

Summary: In rare-earth compounds, the proximity of the 4f level to the Fermi energy leads to instabilities of the charge configuration and the magnetic moment. We provide experimental evidence for induced magnetic polarization of the Eu3+ atomic shell due to interactions with the Eu2+ atomic shell. Applying external pressure leads to a transition from antiferromagnetic to fluctuating behavior in EuNiGe3 single crystals, with observed magnetic polarization for both Eu2+ and Eu3+ valence states.

Magneto-optical Kerr Effect in Ferroelectric Antiferromagnetic Two- Dimensional Heterostructures

Ning Ding, Kunihiro Yananose, Carlo Rizza, Feng-Ren Fan, Shuai Dong, Alessandro Stroppa

Summary: We studied the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) in a two-dimensional heterostructure CrI3/In2Se3/CrI3 using density functional theory calculations and symmetry analysis. The mirror and time-reversal symmetries are broken by the spontaneous polarization in the In2Se3 ferroelectric layer and the antiferromagnetic ordering in the CrI3 layers, thereby activating MOKE. Our results demonstrate that the Kerr angle can be reversed by either the polarization or the antiferromagnetic order parameter. This suggests that ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic 2D heterostructures could be utilized for compact information storage devices, with the information encoded by the two ferroelectric or the two time-reversed antiferromagnetic states and read optically via MOKE.

Electrical tuning of robust layered antiferromagnetism in MXene monolayer

Xinyu Yang, Ning Ding, Jun Chen, Ziwen Wang, Ming An, Shuai Dong

Summary: A robust layered antiferromagnetism with a high Neel temperature is predicted in a MXene Cr2CCl2 monolayer, providing an ideal platform for a magnetoelectric field effect transistor. The band splitting between spin-up and spin-down channels can be induced by an electric field, breaking the inversion symmetry between the lower Cr layer and the upper Cr layer. The magneto-optic Kerr effect can detect this magnetoelectricity in a collinear antiferromagnet with zero magnetization.

Hierarchical construction of CNT networks in aramid papers for high -efficiency microwave absorption

You Wu, Li Chen, Yixuan Han, Panbo Liu, Haihong Xu, Guanze Yu, Yingying Wang, Tao Wen, Wenbo Ju, Junwei Gu

Summary: In this work, a strategy of efficient utilization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in producing CNT incorporated aramid papers is demonstrated. The layer-by-layer self-assembly technique is used to coat the surfaces of meta-aramid fibers and fibrils with CNT, providing novel raw materials available for large-scale papermaking. The hierarchical construction of CNT networks resolves the dilemma of increasing CNT content and avoiding the agglomeration of CNT, which is a frequent challenge for CNT incorporated polymeric composites. The composite paper exhibits a high permittivity and dielectric loss tangent at a low CNT loading, and achieves high-efficiency microwave absorption in the X-band.

Ferromagnetism Induced by Magnetic Dilution in Van der Waals Material Metal Thiophosphates

Jin Peng, Xinyu Yang, Ziye Lu, Lin Huang, Xiyu Chen, Miao He, Jingdong Shen, Yu Xing, Meifeng Liu, Zhe Qu, Zhicheng Wang, Linglong Li, Shuai Dong, Jun-Ming Liu

Summary: This study reports the ferromagnetism in a diluted magnetic semiconductor Fe1-xZnxPS3, where weak ferromagnetism emerges at 30% Zn doping. A nearly static ferromagnetic order is observed in highly diluted magnet Fe0.1Zn0.9PS3. X-ray photoemission measurements indicate the introduction of holes and associated Fe3+ in samples with ferromagnetic order. Density functional theory calculations confirm the Ising-type ferromagnetic state in highly diluted compounds with hole doping. The interplay between bound magnetic polarons induces impurity-band-exchange and superexchange interactions that explain the evolution of magnetism with Zn doping. The findings suggest that the magnetic diluted FePS3 system is a candidate for potential applications in magnetic devices, and its quantum mechanism should be explored using microscopic techniques in the near future.

Frustration-induced magnetic bimerons in transition metal halide CoX2 (X = Cl, Br) monolayers

Yu Wang, Shuai Dong, Xiaoyan Yao

Summary: With the rapid expansion of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials, noncollinear topological magnetic textures in 2D materials, known as magnetic bimerons, are increasingly gaining attention. This study predicts that centrosymmetric transition metal halide CoX2 (X = Cl, Br) monolayers are promising candidates for observing frustration-induced bimerons. The bimerons crystallize into a stable triangular lattice under an appropriate magnetic field and have smaller size and more flexible tunability compared to other magnetic structures. The biaxial strain can also be used to tune the bimeron lattice in these materials.

Summary: The elementary excitations spectrum of anisotropic frustrated antiferromagnets in the fan phase is discussed. It is found that the low-energy part of the spectrum consists of a gapless phason branch with linear dispersion and a gapped optical branch corresponding to the fan structure amplitude oscillations. In the high-energy part of the spectrum, the excitations are similar to the magnons of the fully polarized phase.

Alexander Ya. Simonovskii, Alexander A. Yanovskii, Arthur R. Zakinyan

Summary: In this study, the departure frequency of vapor bubbles during boiling of ferrofluid in a horizontal magnetic field is experimentally investigated. Two methods, visual and inductive, are used to measure the frequency of bubble departure. The results show that the bubble departure frequency can decrease with increasing magnetic field strength and increase with increasing temperature of the heat-emitting surface. A linear stability analysis is conducted to analyze the influence of the magnetic field on the frequency of bubble formation during ferrofluid boiling.

Thermodynamic, entanglement and spin Hall conductivity on kagome-honeycomb lattice system

Leonardo S. Lima

Summary: This study investigates the thermodynamic quantities, such as entropy, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility, in the next-nearest-neighbors Heisenberg model on a honeycomb-kagome lattice. The linear spin-wave approach is applied to obtain the temperature-dependent behavior of these quantities. Additionally, the entanglement negativity, a quantifier of quantum entanglement, and the spin Hall conductivity are also studied. The results show that all the thermodynamic quantities, as well as the entanglement negativity and spin Hall conductivity, exhibit an increasing trend with temperature. Furthermore, it is found that all the analyzed quantities approach zero in the low-temperature limit, consistent with experimental observations.
