Large Tunable Spin-to-Charge Conversion in NiFe/Molybdenum Disulfide by Cu Insertion.

Spin-to-charge conversion at the interface between magnetic materials and transition metal dichalcogenides has drawn great interest in the research efforts to develop fast and ultralow power consumption devices for spintronic applications. Here, we report room temperature observations of spin-to-charge conversion arising from the interface of NiFe (Py) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS). This phenomenon can be characterized by the inverse Edelstein effect length (λ), which is enhanced with decreasing MoS thicknesses, demonstrating the dominant role of spin-orbital coupling (SOC) in MoS.

Epitaxial Growth and Characterization of Nanoscale Magnetic Topological Insulators: Cr-Doped (BiSb)Te.

The exploration initiated by the discovery of the topological insulator (BiSb)Te has extended to unlock the potential of quantum anomalous Hall effects (QAHEs), marking a revolutionary era for topological quantum devices, low-power electronics, and spintronic applications. In this study, we present the epitaxial growth of Cr-doped (BiSb)Te (Cr:BST) thin films via molecular beam epitaxy, incorporating various Cr doping concentrations with varying Cr/Sb ratios (0.025, 0.

Effect of Cu Intercalation Layer on the Enhancement of Spin-to-Charge Conversion in Py/Cu/BiSe.

The spin-to-charge conversion in Permalloy (Py)/Cu/BiSe is tunable by changing the Cu layer thickness. The conversion rate was studied using the spin pumping technique. The inverse Edelstein effect (IEE) length λ is found to increase up to ~2.

Topological Proximity-Induced Dirac Fermion in Two-Dimensional Antimonene.

Antimonene is a promising two-dimensional (2D) material that is calculated to have a significant fundamental bandgap usable for advanced applications such as field-effect transistors, photoelectric devices, and the quantum-spin Hall (QSH) state. Herein, we demonstrate a phenomenon termed topological proximity effect, which occurs between a 2D material and a three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI). We provide strong evidence derived from hydrogen etching on SbTe that large-area and well-ordered antimonene presents a 2D topological state.

Stereoselective Differences between the Reinforcing and Motivational Effects of Cathinone-Derived 4-Methylmethcathinone (Mephedrone) In Self-Administering Rats.

Mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone (4-MMC)) (MEPH) is a new psychoactive substance (NPS) of the synthetic cathinone class. MEPH has a chiral center and exists as two enantiomers (R-,S-MEPH), yet stereospecific effects of MEPH have not been extensively investigated in preclinical assays. Because significant behavioral and neurochemical differences can exist between enantiomers, probing effects of stereochemistry on biological activity enables separation of adverse and therapeutic effects.
