Chiral multiferroics offer remarkable capabilities for controlling quantum devices at multiple levels. However, these materials are rare due to the competing requirements of long-range orders and strict symmetry constraints. In this study, we present experimental evidence that the coexistence of ferroelectric, magnetic orders, and crystallographic chirality is achievable in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites [(R/S)-β-methylphenethylamine]CuCl.

The optimization of the batch size experiment was run for a hydraulic retention time of 45 days using proteolytic enzyme pretreatment. The highest amounts of biogas were produced in comparison to conventional BDS (25:75), which is not processed with enzymes, and there was an increase in the biogas generation of 13.9 and 18.

Organic-inorganic metal hybrids with their tailorable lattice dimensionality and intrinsic spin-splitting properties are interesting material platforms for spintronic applications. While the spin decoherence process is extensively studied in lead- and tin-based hybrids, these systems generally show short spin decoherence lifetimes, and their correlation with the lattice framework is still not well-understood. Herein, we synthesized magnetic manganese hybrid single crystals of (4-fluorobenzylamine)MnCl, (()-3-fluoropyrrolidinium)MnCl, and (pyrrolidinium)MnCl, which represent a change in lattice dimensionality from 2D and 1D to 0D, and studied their spin decoherence processes using continuous-wave electron spin resonance spectroscopy.

The nanopatterning of Yttrium Iron Garnets (YIGs) has proven to be a non-trivial problem even with advances in modern lithography techniques due to non-compatibility with a conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor platform. In an attempt to circumvent this problem, we demonstrate a simple and reliable method to indirectly pattern YIG films on a Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG) substrate. We fabricated exchange-coupled arrays of Py dots onto the underlying YIG films using nanostencil lithography.

The atomically flat interface of the YFeO (YIG) thin film and the GdGaO (GGG) substrate plays a vital role in obtaining the magnetization dynamics of YIG below and above the anisotropy field. Here, magnetoimpedance (MI) is used to investigate the magnetization dynamics in fully epitaxial 45 nm YIG thin films grown on the GGG (001) substrates using a copper strip coil in the MHz-GHz frequency region. The resistance () and reactance (), which are components of impedance (), allow us to probe the absorptive and dispersive components of the dynamic permeability, whereas a conventional spectrometer only measures the field derivative of the power absorbed.
