Researchers discovered that a hidden ferromagnetic insulating (FMI) state emerged in Sr2Fe1+xRe1-xO6 films when the material’s local ionic order was disturbed by a small modification in cation ratio.1 This work provides a promising new route to developing
Scientists have unraveled details of the mechanism of mechanical reinforcement in glassy polymer nanocomposites.1 Measurements in the interfacial layer ~2–4 nm around nanoparticles revealed that Young’s modulus, which defines the relationship between
Researchers have demonstrated a process to prepare morphologically tailored carbon materials with good electrochemical capacity and stability for sodium-ion battery anodes.
Misfit heterojunctions formed by van der Waals (vdW) epitaxial growth of one crystalline metal chalcogenide monolayer on another was demonstrated for the first time to form p-n junctions that exhibit a photovoltaic response.
An effective approach to sulfate separation from aqueous solutions was developed based on crystallization of sulfate-water clusters with a simple ligand self-assembled in situ from water-soluble subcomponents.
Thallium-doping (5%) of BaFe2As2 crystal causes a surprising rise of the antiferromagnetic transition temperature (TN), related to magneto-elastic coupling. This is the first example of the increase of TN with chemical doping in BaFe2As2.
Helium implantation allows for continuous control of optical band gaps in semiconducting films through the resultant strain — an impossibility with traditional strain engineering.

Compared to pure nickel, tuning chemical composition in binary alloys has altered migration barriers of defects, and significantly affected defect dynamics under ion irradiation.
