Atomic scale determination of magnetism and stoichiometry at the LaSrMnO/SrTiO interface: investigation of inverse hysteresis.

Controlling the correlations and electronic reconstruction at the interface of transition metal oxide heterostructures provides a new pathway for tuning their unique physical properties. Here, we investigate the effects of interfacial nonstoichiometry and vertical phase separation on the magnetic properties and proximity-induced magnetism of epitaxial LaSrMnO (LSMO)/SrTiO(001) oxide heterostructures. We also reinvestigate the recently observed inverse hysteresis behavior reported for this system, which we find emanates from the remanent field of the superconducting solenoid and not from antiferromagnetic intra-layer exchange coupling in low coercivity LSMO thin films.

Spatio-Chemical Deconvolution of the LiNiCoMnO/LiPSCl Interphase Layer in All-Solid-State Batteries Using Combined X-ray Spectroscopic Methods.

The (electro)chemical degradation at the interface between LiPSCl (LPSC) and LiNiCoMnO (NCM622) is systematically investigated using nondestructive synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray photoemission electron microscopy. These measurements were surface chemical depth profiling (from 2 to several hundred nanometers) and high-resolution elemental imaging of both LPSC and NCM622 particles. This analysis was complemented by galvanostatic cycling, impedance spectroscopy, and operando cell pressure characterization.

Converting the CHF Greenhouse Gas into Nanometer-Thick LiF Coating for High-Voltage Cathode Li-ion Batteries Materials.

Solving the surface (electro-)chemical instability and the fading behavior of high voltage cathode materials cycled above 4.3 V vs Li/Li remains a major challenge for the next generation of high energy density Li-ion batteries. Here, we present a facile, environmentally friendly, cost effective and scalable method to address this problem by uniformly fluorinating the surface of cathode materials with a mild fluorinating agent (CHF) using a gas flow-type reactor.

Ptychographic Nanoscale Imaging of the Magnetoelectric Coupling in Freestanding BiFeO.

Understanding the magnetic and ferroelectric ordering of magnetoelectric multiferroic materials at the nanoscale necessitates a versatile imaging method with high spatial resolution. Here, soft X-ray ptychography is employed to simultaneously image the ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic domains in an 80 nm thin freestanding film of the room-temperature multiferroic BiFeO (BFO). The antiferromagnetic spin cycloid of period 64 nm is resolved by reconstructing the corresponding resonant elastic X-ray scattering in real space and visualized together with mosaic-like ferroelectric domains in a linear dichroic contrast image at the Fe L edge.

EUV-induced hydrogen desorption as a step towards large-scale silicon quantum device patterning.

Atomically precise hydrogen desorption lithography using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) has enabled the development of single-atom, quantum-electronic devices on a laboratory scale. Scaling up this technology to mass-produce these devices requires bridging the gap between the precision of STM and the processes used in next-generation semiconductor manufacturing. Here, we demonstrate the ability to remove hydrogen from a monohydride Si(001):H surface using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light.

Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery in Patients with Obesity Class V (BMI > 60 kg/m): a Modified Delphi Study.

Background: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is the preferred method to achieve significant weight loss in patients with Obesity Class V (BMI > 60 kg/m). However, there is no consensus regarding the best procedure(s) for this population. Additionally, these patients will likely have a higher risk of complications and mortality.

Fully Magnetically Polarized Ultrathin LaSrMnO Films.

We report the observation of fully magnetically polarized ultrathin LaSrMnO films by using LaMnO and LaSrMnO buffer layers grown epitaxially on SrTiO(001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Specifically, we show that LaSrMnO films grown on 12-unit-cell LaMnO have bulk-like magnetic moments starting from a single unit cell thickness, while for the 15-unit-cell LaSrMnO buffer layer, the LaSrMnO transitions from an antiferromagnetic state to a fully spin-polarized ferromagnetic state at 4 unit cells. The magnetic results are confirmed by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, while linear dichroic measurements carried out for the LaSrMnO/LaSrMnO series show the presence of an orbital reorganization at the transition from the antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic state corresponding to a change from a preferred in-plane orbital hole occupancy, characteristic of the A-type antiferromagnetic state of LaSrMnO, to preferentially out of plane.

Effect of fermentation on the physicochemical characteristics and sensory quality of Arabica coffee.

This work aims to assess the physicochemical characteristics and final sensory quality of Yellow Catuai IAC 62 Arabica coffee fermented with . For such a purpose, a Composite Central Rotational Design (CCRD) was performed to investigate how fermentation time,temperature and pH conditions, moisture content and concentration of sugars and organic acids affect its sensory quality on two different roast levels in accordance with Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) protocols. It was found that fructose concentration decreased from 12 g/L to around 5 g/L during fermentation, regardless of temperature condition.
