Summary: This study explores the impact of static mechanical deformation on the zero-field spin splitting of silicon vacancies in silicon carbide at room temperature. By using AlN/6H-SiC heterostructures and monitoring stress distribution with spatially resolved confocal Raman spectroscopy, significant changes in spin splitting at the heterointerface were observed, leading to the determination of the spin-deformation interaction constants for different centers. The results suggest a strategy for fine tuning spin transition energies in SiC through deformation, leveraging the piezoelectricity of AlN.

Summary: Electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) measurements have been extended to sub-mT magnetic fields using frequency sweeping of the oscillating magnetic field. Interesting phenomena, such as multiple-photon transitions and spectral-narrowing effects, emerge at these magnetic fields. The narrowing of the frequency-swept EDMR response with static field can be explained by changes in intermediate spin-pair relaxation caused by stochastic perturbations from the environment.

Summary: Oxidoreductases containing transition metal ions play crucial roles in living organisms, serving as both active sites for substrate conversion and electron transfer centers. These enzymes bind substrates and external electron donors/acceptors at distant protein sites for electron exchange involved in redox reactions. Intra-protein electron transfer occurs through specific pathways connecting distant metal cofactors, which may also be magnetically coupled.

Summary: The synthesis of phenalenyl-endcapped [5]cumulene as a cumulene-based singlet biradical and the spin correlation changes of one-dimensional aggregates are discussed. The introduction of bulky substituents into the appropriate positions led to the formation of a one-dimensional chain assembly, with increased bond length alternation of the cumulene chain and improved overlapping of the phenalenyl rings at lower temperatures. Variable-temperature Raman spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed the decoupling of a localized spin pair at low temperatures, and the emergence of a continuum spin system involving intra- and intermolecular spin-spin interactions in the one-dimensional chain.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the spin-spin interactions of exo- and endo-TEMPO radical-functionalized metallacycles and metallacages constructed via coordination-driven self-assembly. The results revealed distinct spin-spin interactions in solution and solid states, with a large zero-field splitting observed in certain crystalline forms. Moreover, reversible on-off switching of the zero-field splitting was successfully achieved via crystal-to-amorphous transformation induced by mechanical grinding and solvent vapor stimuli.

Summary: This study analytically solves the period of a single triad interaction of homogeneous isotropic turbulence and compares it with the traditional concept of energy transfer timescale. The results show that the timescale of energy exchange becomes dominant when energy transfer is suppressed. The findings imply a correlation between energy exchange and oscillation, and energy transfer and damping.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of range separation of exchange energy on electronic ground-state properties for double-hybrid density functionals (DHDFs), observing that specific range-separated functionals can sometimes outperform their global counterparts, but range separation alone does not guarantee overall improved results. It was also noted that BLYP-based functionals generally perform better than PBE-based functionals.

Summary: Spin liquid crystals possess properties of both liquids and solids, and spin nematics, a typical example, share many features with spin liquids. The interplay between them is a promising route to uncovering new phases of matter, which has not been extensively explored. In this study, we investigate the question in the context of a spin-1 magnet on the honeycomb lattice by considering a model with biquadratic interactions favoring spin-nematic states and Kitaev-like interactions supporting spin liquids. We find a variety of exotic phases, and discuss the implications of these results for experiments.

Summary: In this study, a reliable derivation of the effective spin Hamiltonian for the metal-insulator transition in NaOsO3 driven by antiferromagnetic order was achieved through ab initio electronic-structure calculations and linear spin-wave theory. The results showed Heisenberg couplings smaller than those proposed in the literature, along with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and anisotropic exchange interactions that successfully reproduced experimental data. The spin-wave gap was found to be determined by a subtle interplay between various factors, supporting a local-moment description of the magnetic excitation spectra in NaOsO3.

Summary: This study further analyzes the effect of para-substituent X on the electronic structure of sixteen tridentate ligands and corresponding complexes, providing quantitative insights into the sigma-donor and pi-acceptor character of the Fe-N-A(pyridine) bonds. The results show that as X changes from electron-donating to withdrawing groups, the ligand becomes a better sigma-donor but a weaker pi-acceptor. The quantitative analysis of the M-L bond contributions reveals the relative impact of sigma-versus pi-bonding on the observed T-1/2, emphasizing the importance of sigma-bonding. These findings are consistent with previous research.

Summary: In this study, the structural and chemical properties of [CpTi(cot)] on Au(111) were investigated using experimental and computational methods. It was found that the adsorbed molecules have two orientations, with the standing ones experiencing charge delocalization towards the surface. This orientation-dependent molecule-surface hybridization opens up possibilities for selective control of molecule-substrate spin delocalization in hybrid interfaces.

Summary: We report the synthesis of a new meso-meso (m-m) singly linked vanadyl-porphyrin dimer and its crystallization in two different pseudo-polymorphs. Electron paramagnetic resonance investigation reveals a small but crucial isotropic exchange interaction, J, between the two tilted spin centers. Experimental and DFT studies show a correlation between J values and porphyrin plane tilting angle and distortion. Pulsed EPR analysis demonstrates that the coherence time of the monomer is maintained in the dimers. The spin Hamiltonian parameters identify suitable transitions for computational basis states. These results, combined with the evaporability of porphyrin systems, establish this class of dimers as extremely promising for quantum information processing applications.

Summary: Understanding phonon-induced relaxation in molecular qubits is crucial for their application potential. Garlatti et al. utilize inelastic X-ray scattering and density functional theory to investigate the role of low-energy phonons on spin relaxation in a prototypical molecular qubit. They find that intra-molecular vibrations with very-low energies are largely responsible for spin relaxation up to ambient temperature. This research provides insights into improving spin coherence and opens new avenues for the investigation of magnetic molecules for quantum devices.

Summary: Lanthanide-based single molecule magnets have shown promise for creating single molecule devices that can operate at high temperatures. The application of external pressure could be a promising method for controlling magnetic anisotropy and relaxation processes. Criteria for qualifying for such systems include the presence of first excited energy levels with different orientations of the anisotropy tensor, low energies for mixing with the ground state, and the ability to tune energies with small geometric perturbations.

Summary: We investigate the interface properties between WSi2N4 and Mo2B, O-modified Mo2B, and OH-modified Mo2B nanosheets. We find that WSi2N4 and Mo2B form n-type Schottky contacts, while functionalizing Mo2B with O and OH leads to the formation of both n-type and p-type ohmic contacts with WSi2N4. Additionally, we demonstrate the emergence of quasi-ohmic contact with ultralow lateral Schottky barrier and zero vertical interfacial tunneling barriers in Mo2B(OH)2-contacted WSi2N4.

Summary: When rare-earth ions are embedded in a ferroelectric material, their photoluminescence can serve as an all-optical probe for temperature, electric field, and mechanical stimulus. However, the impact of ferroelectric phase transitions on photoluminescence is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate changes in the photoluminescence of green emission bands during critical ferroelectric transitions in an Er-doped BaTiO3 material. We also find that the intensity ratio and wavelength position difference of sub-peaks provide information on the phase transitions.

The compound exhibits a high ferromagnetic transition temperature, making it excellent for room temperature applications. The nearly temperature-independent resistivity, conductivity, and carrier concentration of the compound, adherence to the Slater-Pauling rule, and the high intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity achieved through hole doping further confirm its spin-gapless semiconductor nature. Additionally, the compound's SGS and topological properties make it suitable for spintronics and magneto-electronics devices.
