Employing a rigorous theoretical method for the construction of exact many-electron ground states we prove that interactions can be employed to tune a bare dispersive band structure such that it develops a flat band. Thereby, we show that pentagon-chain polymers with electron densities above half filling may be designed to become ferromagnetic or half metallic.

Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT), an experimental and theoretical study of changes in the electronic structure (dispersion dependencies) and corresponding modification of the energy band gap at the Dirac point (DP) for topological insulator (TI) [Formula: see text] have been carried out with gradual replacement of magnetic Mn atoms by non-magnetic Ge atoms when concentration of the latter was varied from 10% to 75%. It was shown that when Ge concentration increases, the bulk band gap decreases and reaches zero plateau in the concentration range of 45-60% while trivial surface states (TrSS) are present and exhibit an energy splitting of 100 and 70 meV in different types of measurements. It was also shown that TSS disappear from the measured band dispersions at a Ge concentration of about 40%.

Endoscopic removal of swallowed foreign substances is widely accepted, but sedation and general anesthesia may be required to alleviate pain and anxiety during the procedure. Dexmedetomidine is used as a sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and analgesic.

Investigating material properties is essential to assessing their application potential. While computational methods allow for a fast prediction of the material structure and properties, experimental validation is essential to determining the ultimate material potential. Herein, we report the synthesis and experimental magnetic properties of three previously reported Kagome compounds in the Li-Fe-Ge system.

Article Synopsis
- Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is an emerging method for hydrogen production, but its efficiency is hindered by issues like carrier recombination and slow water oxidation.
- The study shows that adding a ferromagnetic coating (FeTiO) to a photoanode (BiVO) and using an external magnetic field enhances solar water oxidation performance by improving charge separation and catalytic efficiency.
- The findings suggest that this magnetic field technique can be applied to other metal oxide photoanodes, indicating a new approach to boost PEC performance in nonmagnetic semiconductor materials.
Moiré magnetism in CrBr multilayers emerging from differential strain.

Interfaces between twisted 2D materials host a wealth of physical phenomena originating from the long-scale periodicity associated with the resulting moiré structure. Besides twisting, an alternative route to create structures with comparably long-or even longer-periodicities is inducing a differential strain between adjacent layers in a van der Waals (vdW) material. Despite recent theoretical efforts analyzing its benefits, this route has not yet been implemented experimentally.
