The recent discovery of superconductivity in (Ba,K)Fe2As2, which crystallizes in the ThCr2Si2 (122) structure as compared with the LnFeAsO (Ln is lanthanide) systems that possess the ZrCuSiAs (1111) structure, demonstrates the exciting potential of the FeAs-based materials for high-T{C} superconductivity. Here we report neutron diffraction studies that show a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic distortion associated with the onset of q=(101) antiferromagnetic order in BaFe2As2, with a saturation moment 0.87(3)micro {B} per Fe that is orientated along the longer a axis of the ab planes. The simultaneous first-order structural and magnetic transition is in contrast with the separated transitions previously reported in the 1111-type materials. The orientational relation between magnetic alignment and lattice distortion supports a multiorbital nature for the magnetic order.

Intercalation has been considered as an effective method to explore innovative two-dimensional (2D) materials and modify their properties. However, the relationship between intercalation concentration, structure, and property remains a largely uncharted territory, and the controllable synthesis of desired intercalated phases faces challenges. Here, a general intercalated rule for the effect of self-intercalation ratio on atomic arrangements is revealed.

The design and fabrication of high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials are essential in developing electronic communication technology for defense and civilian applications. These materials function by interacting with EMWs, creating various effects such as polarization relaxation, magnetic resonance, and magnetic hysteresis in order to absorb EMWs. Significant progress has been made to improve the dimensional performance of such materials, emphasizing the 'thin, light, broad, and strong' functional specifications.

The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) demonstrates the potential for achieving quantized Hall resistance without the need for an external magnetic field, making it highly promising for reducing energy loss in electronic devices. Its realization and research rely heavily on precise first-principles calculations, which are essential for analyzing the electronic structures and topological properties of novel two-dimensional (2D) materials. This review article explores the theoretical progress of QAHE in 2D hexagonal monolayers with strong spin-orbit coupling and internal magnetic ordering.

Magnetic activated carbon (MAC) derived from agricultural waste shows significant potential for the removal of norfloxacin (NOR) from wastewater. However, understanding the removal mechanisms, efficiency, and recyclability of MAC produced from walnut green husk and ferrocene for NOR remains a challenge. In this study, walnut green husk-based MAC (HQP-MC) was synthesized, and changes in surface functionality, mechanisms for NOR removal, and major influencing factors were investigated.

Quercetin, a key flavonoid found in many fruits and vegetables, offers notable health benefits, including antioxidant, antiviral, and antitumor properties. Yet, isolating it from complex plant materials is challenging. This research aimed to develop a selective and efficient sorbent to clean up real sample matrices and pre-concentrate quercetin, enhancing its detection using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
