Summary: We investigated the properties of Pr-0.7 Sr-0.3 Mn(1-x)Cox O-3 nanopowders synthesized using the Pechini Sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction revealed an orthorhombic crystal structure for all samples. Magnetic measurements showed a transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic with increasing temperature, and the Curie temperature decreased with increasing Co concentration. Electrical resistivity measurements indicated metallic behavior at low temperature and semiconductor behavior above a certain temperature, with significant magnetoresistance values for all samples.

Summary: Polycrystalline samples of Gd2Ru2-xMoxO7 were prepared using the molten salt method, with an increase in lattice parameter and XPS valence band intensity observed as the Mo content increases. Theoretical calculations show that Gd2Ru2O7 is a semiconductor with main contributions from Ru4d and O 2p states. Electrical resistivity measurements at low temperatures show a decrease in activation energy with Mo content.

Summary: We have investigated the properties of two equiatomic quaternary Heusler alloys, CuTCrAl (T = Co and Fe), both theoretically and experimentally. Characterization using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and neutron powder diffraction (NPD) confirmed the presence of mixed-phase A2/B2 disorder with coexistence of cubic and tetragonal symmetries. The alloys also exhibited ferrimagnetism at low temperatures and weak itinerant ferromagnetic behavior. The metallic nature of the alloys was reflected in the temperature dependence resistivity. The coexistence of cubic/tetragonal phases, ferrimagnetism, and metallic character in a single system is rare and highlights the potential of these alloys for various applications.

Summary: The study reveals localized superconducting states in a calcium-iron-based superconductor using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The competition between local strain of praseodymium dopants and defect-induced local magnetic moments affects the superconductivity. These superconducting states exist at the nanoscale near the praseodymium dopants and are not influenced by surface reconstruction or defects.

Summary: The primary goal at the intersection of theoretical and experimental quantum magnetism is to investigate exotic spin states, particularly quantum spin liquids (QSLs). Rare-earth ions introduce competitive energy scales beyond the traditional paradigms of geometrical frustration, resulting in anisotropic effective spin models with intrinsic frustration. By using experimental techniques, the extraction of Stevens operators determining the full CEF spectrum of Yb3+ was successfully achieved, leading to crucial insights for interpreting anisotropic magnetic susceptibility measurements.

Summary: An efficient method for phosphate removal from wastewater is urgently needed due to the environmental issue caused by excessive phosphorus. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) were prepared and compared for their phosphate adsorption performance. L-Aspartic acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-Asp-LDHs) exhibited the highest phosphate adsorption capacity and faster removal rate compared to CaAl-LDHs. The phosphate adsorption mechanism on CaAl-Asp-LDHs involved electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds, complexation, and ion exchange. This environmentally friendly material shows promising potential for efficient phosphate removal from aquatic environments.

Summary: Studying the diffusion properties of hydrogen is important for designing new proton conductors. In the past, the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in proton conductors was usually obtained through a manual calculation method, resulting in difficulty in controlling the calculation accuracy. To address this issue, a mathematical algorithm and C language computer program were developed to calculate the chemical diffusion coefficient based on Fick's second law and Romberg numerical integral. The algorithm showed high precision and powerful computing function, and has the potential to replace the manual calculation method in calculating the chemical diffusion coefficient for hydrogen in proton conductors.
