Summary: Magnetic interactions and nontrivial band structures can lead to exotic physical properties such as the anomalous Hall effect and topological Hall effect. EuCuAs, an antiferromagnetic material, exhibits a large topological Hall resistivity due to nontrivial spin structures. Neutron diffraction experiments reveal that the spin configuration during the metamagnetic transition results in the large topological Hall effect. The ability to control the magnetic ordering structure of EuCuAs opens up possibilities for spintronic devices based on antiferromagnets.

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.
