Summary: The electronic and magnetic properties of magnetic materials containing rare earth elements were investigated using DFT+U+HIA, showing good agreement with experimental data for SmCo5 and Dy-doped Bi2Te3. The presence of in-gap flat f-bands in Bi2Te3 was observed with positive uniaxial magnetic anisotropy predicted for (DyxBi1-x)(2)Te-3. These studies contribute to exploring the potential applications of rare-earth doped topological insulators in low power spintronic devices.

Summary: Sm(O,F)BiS2 superconducting single crystals with various nominal F contents were successfully grown using KI-KCl flux, with a solid solution limit of F at the O-site of less than 20 at%. Despite similar F concentration and c-axis lattice constants, the F concentrations in the single crystals were hardly controlled by nominal F contents, suggesting the presence of an intrinsic stable phase. The superconducting transition temperature increased with increasing nominal F contents within less than 70 at% in the O-site.

Summary: The absorption spectra of Tb3Ga5O12 and Tb-2(MoO4)(3) were measured at temperatures ranging from 4.2 to 300 K. Two low-energy lines were observed above 20 K, which were attributed to vibronic-assisted optical absorption. The energy of zero-point vibrations should be taken into account when calculating the crystal electric field parameters.

Summary: The Zeeman effect was observed in Tb3Ga5O12 single crystal with H parallel to [110], allowing for the determination of crystal electric field (CEF) parameters for the excited D-5(4) multiplet of Tb3+ ion. The exclusion of Gamma(1) symmetry for the lowest level of the ground state F-7(6) was also achieved. The second order CEF parameters for the ground F-7(6) multiplet were determined by fitting magnetization measurements with H parallel to [001] and H parallel to [110].

Summary: The phase stabilities of intermetallic phases and phase equilibria in the Cu-Sm system were evaluated using DTA, SEM/EPMA and XRD methods. Cu6Sm and Cu5Sm were found to have certain homogeneity ranges, and it was confirmed that CuSm forms through a peritectic reaction. The updated phase equilibria data led to a new version of the Cu-Sm phase diagram. The hardness of the Cu6Sm phase was measured to be 335 ± 29 HV.

Summary: The study focuses on the biological impact and application of rare-earth elements (REEs) in biodegradable Mg-based biomaterials. Despite the effectiveness of REEs in improving corrosion, mechanical, and manufacturability properties of Mg alloys, their physiological effects are still poorly understood. The review provides guidance for the development of new biomedical alloys and emphasizes areas of concern and unclear knowledge. Key findings include current clinical and preclinical work summary, highlighting Sc as the most promising REE in terms of physiological impact, while caution is advised when considering other REEs as alloying elements.

Summary: This study investigated the optical transitions from the ground state I-4(9/2) multiplet to (4)G(5/2), (2)G(7/2), and (4)G(7/2) multiplets in Nd3+ doped Gd3Ga5O12 crystal in the temperature range of 4.2 to 300 K. As the temperature increased, transitions from the second and third levels of the I-4(9/2) multiplet became visible. A large value of the oscillator strength was obtained. The Zeeman effect was measured up to 14 T, and the observed level splitting agreed well with theoretical estimates.

Summary: Extensive research has revealed that oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline conditions involves dynamic surface restructuring. The development and design of sulfide/oxide pre-catalysts can reasonably adjust the composition and structure after surface reconstruction, which is crucial for OER. This study utilized a simple two-step hydrothermal method to achieve in situ S leaching and doping, inducing the composition change and structure reconstruction of CoFe oxides. The transformed FeOOH and CoOOH exhibited excellent OER activity and could be easily mass-produced using low-cost iron based materials and simple methods.

Summary: Zero-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halides (OMHs) are gaining attention in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes due to their broad emission band and high photoluminescence quantum yield. This work synthesized a zero-dimensional organic tetraphenylphosphonium bismuth chloride (TBC) that showed efficient blue light emission, with the emission mechanism attributed to the transition of Bi3+ ions. White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) were fabricated using TBC, along with green-emitting and red-emitting single crystals, achieving single-component white emissions. These findings demonstrate the different emission mechanism of ns2 ions-based OMHs and highlight the potential of bismuth-based OMHs in WLEDs applications.

Summary: The revolutionary design concept of high-entropy alloys has brought new opportunities and challenges to the development of advanced metal materials. In this work, AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy flux cored wires were prepared by combining the design idea of a high-entropy alloy with the characteristics of flux cored wire. AlCr-CuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys were prepared using gas metal arc welding technology. The wear properties of the alloys were analyzed, and the phase composition, microstructure, strengthening mechanism, and wear mechanism were discussed. The results show that the alloys exhibit a dendritic microstructure with BCC/B2 + FCC phases. Increasing Ti content leads to the precipitation of Laves phase. The alloys show improved microhardness and wear resistance due to the precipitation of coherent B2 and Laves phases. However, excessive Ti addition results in the increase of Laves phase and reduced wear resistance of the alloys.

Summary: In this study, six bimetallic FeCo particles were synthesized via the hydrothermal method at different Fe:Co ratios. The Fe:Co ratio not only modulates the composition of the particles but also influences their structure and magnetic properties. The FeCo alloys showed a transformation from an Fe-based structure to a Co-based structure with increasing Co content. The Fe:Co ratio of 1:1 and 3:1 resulted in particles with the highest and lowest saturation magnetization, respectively.

Summary: We conducted a study on the formation of ultra-fine Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides in Ta+B micro-alloyed 13CrWTi-ODS alloys using electron microscopy and first-principles calculations. The Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides were found to be mainly Y2(Ti,Ta)2O7, with an average size of 7 nm and a number density of 6.8 x 1023 m-3. Excess boron was found to enhance the adhesion of some low-sigma grain boundaries but weaken the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface, while excess tantalum enhanced the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface but caused serious degradation of grain boundaries.

Summary: The structure and magnetism of cobalt ferrites after Mn2+-Tb3+ co-doping were studied. Co-doped samples exhibited cubic spinel structure and spherical shape of ferrite nanoparticles. The redistribution of Co2+ and Fe3+ ions between octahedral and tetrahedral sites was observed due to Mn2+-Tb3+ co-doping. The coercivity and magnetization saturation of co-doped samples were significantly improved, leading to a maximum energy product that is 190% higher than that of the un-doped sample.

Summary: Recently, there has been an increasing interest in developing ultra-fine nanostructured electrodes with extensive reaction areas to enhance the performance and low-temperature operation of solid oxide fuel cells. The use of a refined approach involving co-sputtering metal alloys and oxide targets has demonstrated the feasibility of nano-columnar structures in perovskite-based electrodes, expanding the temperature range of thin film electrodes. This study systematically examines the effects of chamber pressure control in the co-sputtering process and identifies the intricate relationship between sputtering pressure and film structure. By fine-tuning the columnar growth in the electrode, significant improvements in performance and thermo-mechanical properties were achieved, resulting in high-performance all-sputtered solid oxide fuel cells.
