To provide insight into the interface structure in Ti particle-reinforced Mg matrix composites, this study investigates the inherent Mg/Ti interface structure formed during the solidification of supercooled Mg melt on a (0001)Ti substrate using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations and density function theory (DFT) calculation. The resulting interface exhibits an orientation relationship of 0001Mg//0001Ti with a lattice mismatch of approximately 8%. Detailed characterizations reveal the occurrences of 0001Mg plane rotation and vacancy formation to overcome the lattice mismatch at the inherent Mg/Ti interface while allowing Mg atoms to occupy the energetically favorable hollow sites above the Ti atomic layer.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are the "fuel" for high-tech industry, yet their selective recovery from complex waste matrices is challenging. Herein, we designed a 2D multilayered MXene TiCT adsorbent for selective extraction of REEs in a broad pH range. By establishing strong Lewis acid-base interactions, extraction capacities of TiCT to Eu(III) and Ho(III) reached 892.

To achieve logic operations via Majorana braiding, positional control of the Majorana bound states (MBSs) must be established. Here we report the observation of a striped surface charge order coexisting with superconductivity and its interaction with the MBS in the topological superconductor 2M-WS, using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. By applying an out-of-plane magnetic field, we observe that MBSs are absent in vortices in the region with stripe order.

O3-type NaNiFeMnO (NFM) is considered as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high theoretical energy density and low production cost. However, the applications of NFM are restricted owing to detrimental interfacial side reactions and phase evolution during cycling. Herein, a three-in-one modification strategy, including NaMoO coating, surface reconstruction from layered to spinel phase, and Mo doping, is proposed to design NFM.
