Topochemical Modulations from 1D Iron Fluoride Precursor to 3D Frameworks.

Topochemical reactions are powerful pathways to modify inorganic extended structures, but the present approaches are limited by the degrees of freedom to tune the structural connectivity and dimensionality. In this work, we unveil a new topochemical bottom-up approach to tailor three-dimensional (3D) iron fluoride frameworks from the same one-dimensional (1D) FeF.3HO (IF) precursor upon reacting with iodide-based reagents (AI; A = Na, K, and NH).

Light-Controlled Magnetoelastic Effects in Ni/BaTiO Heterostructures.

Magnetoelastic and magnetoelectric coupling in the artificial multiferroic heterostructures facilitate valuable features for device applications such as magnetic field sensors and electric-write magnetic-read memory devices. In ferromagnetic/ferroelectric heterostructures, the intertwined physical properties can be manipulated by an external perturbation, such as an electric field, temperature, or a magnetic field. Here, we demonstrate the remote-controlled tunability of these effects under visible, coherent, and polarized light.
