Potassium-doped terphenyl has recently attracted attention as a potential host for high-transition-temperature superconductivity. Here, we elucidate the many-body electronic structure of recently synthesized potassium-doped terphenyl crystals. We show that this system may be understood as a set of weakly coupled one-dimensional ladders. Depending o...

Defect engineering has become one of the important considerations in today's electrocatalyst design. However, the vacancies in the ordered crystal structure (especially body-centered cubic (bcc) and the effect of ordered vacancies (OVs) on the electronic fabric have not been researched yet. In this work, we report the inaugural time of the generati...

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is highly selective and acts as the interface between the central nervous system and circulation. While the BBB is critical for maintaining brain homeostasis, it represents a formidable challenge for drug delivery. Here we synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for targeting the tight junction specifically and demonstr...

Herein, we present a facile reinforcement method for the large-scale fabrication of highly flexible, mechanically stable, temperature-resistant ceramic lightweight membranes based on the cross-linked assembly of zirconia-silica (ZrO2-SiO2) nanofibrous and montmorillonite (MMT) nanosheets through electrospinning and a subsequent calcination process....

We investigated the magnetic effect of Mn2+ ions on an exciton of Mn-doped CsPbI3 quantum dots (QDs), where we looked for the signatures of an exciton magnetic polaron known to produce a large effective magnetic field in Mn-doped CdSe QDs. In contrast to Mn-doped CdSe QDs that can produce ∼100 T of magnetic field upon photoexcitation, manifested as...

Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnets possess astonishing potential in new-concept spintronics. However, most of the reported intrinsic 2D ferromagnets show a low Curie temperature far below room temperature. Here, we propose a series of 2D magnetic covalent and metal organic frameworks (COFs/MOFs) by assembling triangular zigzag graphene quantum dots ...

The emergence of van der Waals (vdW) magnets has created unprecedented opportunities to manipulate magnetism for advanced spintronics based upon all-vdW heterostructures. Among various vdW magnets, Cr1+δTe2 possesses high temperature ferromagnetism along with possible topological spin textures. As this system can support self-intercalation in the v...

Designing high-performance trifunctional electrocatalysts for ORR/OER/HER with outstanding activity and stability for each reaction is quite significant yet challenging for renewable energy technologies. Herein, a highly efficient and durable trifunctional electrocatalyst RuCoOx is prepared by a unique one-pot glucose-blowing approach. Remarkably, ...

Designing a spectrometer without the need for wavelength multiplexing optics can effectively reduce the complexity and physical footprint. On the basis of the computational spectroscopic strategy and combining a broadband-responsive dynamic detector, we successfully demonstrate an optics-free single-detector spectrometer that maps the tunable quant...

All-optical switching of magnetization has great potential for use in future ultrafast and energy efficient nanoscale magnetic storage devices. So far, research has been almost exclusively focused on rare-earth based materials, which limits device tunability and scalability. Here, we show that a perpendicularly magnetized synthetic ferrimagnet comp...
