Spiral spin-liquids are correlated paramagnetic states with degenerate propagation vectors forming a continuous ring or surface in reciprocal space.
Researchers discovered a mechanism for creating novel electronic materials by reversible phase transformations of the perovskite oxygen sublattice.1 The reversible tuning of the oxygen sublattice greatly expands the parameter space of magnetic and elect
Metallic glasses are promising as structural materials because of high mechanical strength, but they often lack ductility, limiting their application. However, the origin of the low ductility is not well-understood.
Manipulating the type and degree of spin and exchange disorder in a crystal lattice provides new design principles to create highly tunable magnetic order.
Scientists found that the collective nanoparticle dynamics in polymer nanocomposites could be up to three orders of magnitude slower than the self-diffusion limit of isolated nanoparticles.
The structure of amphiphilic molecules at buried liquid/liquid interfaces can be controlled by ion-pairing interactions to better understand the mechanisms of liquid extraction and self-assembly.
A novel, complementary method to oxidative Scholl coupling enables synthesis of conjugated porous networks via direct aromatic ring knitting.
Researchers showed that dual-function intermetallic nanoprecipitates simultaneously enhanced strength and ductility of medium-entropy alloys via synergistic spatial confinement effects on two distinct deformation mechanisms: precipitation
Researchers have discovered a new mode of SMSI construction under ambient conditions that is driven by photochemistry instead of the traditional thermal activation.
The mechanisms of van der Waals (vdW) epitaxial growth of monolayer two-dimensional (2D) crystals from amorphous precursors were revealed by in situ pulsed laser heating within a TEM and first-principles calculations.
