A study of the magnetocaloric effect has been performed on a polycrystalline CeRu(2)Ge(2) compound, which exhibits an antiferromagnetic ordering below T(N) = 8.3 K and enters into a ferromagnetic ground state at T(C) = 7.4 K. The origins of the magnetocaloric parameters (the isothermal entropy change: -ΔS and the adiabatic temperature change: ΔT(ad)) of the CeRu(2)Ge(2) compound below T(C) have been analyzed. A sharp decrease in -ΔS has been observed below T(C). However, the ΔT(ad) does not fall as sharply as -ΔS with decreasing temperature in the corresponding temperature region. This behavior results in an additional value of ΔT(ad) at low temperature, which originates from the exponential decrease of the magnetic contribution of specific heat associated with an increase of energy-gap in the ferromagnetic spin-wave spectrum with the application of magnetic field.

In this work, Ge vacancies and doping with transition metals (Mn and Fe) are proposed to modulate the electronic and magnetic properties of GeP monolayers. A pristine GeP monolayer is a non-magnetic two-dimensional (2D) material, exhibiting indirect gap semiconductor behavior with an energy gap of 1.34(2.

High-spin polycyclic hydrocarbons (PHs) hold significant potential in organic spintronics and organic magnets. However, their synthesis is very challenging due to their extremely high reactivity. Herein, we report the successful synthesis and isolation of a kinetically blocked derivative (1) of dianthraceno[2,3-a : 3',2'-h]-s-indacene, which represents a rare persistent triplet diradical of a Kekulé PH.

Owing to their unique and tunable optoelectronic and magnetic properties, organic conjugated radicals have great potential in information storage and communication through modulating the molecular spin states. However, few electronic/spintronic devices based on these materials have been reported to date due to various intrinsic constraints such as poor material stability and processability. In this work, we have synthesized a stable singlet ground state organic conjugated diradical 5,7-dimesityl--indaceno[1,2-:7,6-']dipyridine (mNIF) with narrow band gap (1.

The half-filled lowest Landau level is a fascinating platform for researching interacting topological phases. A celebrated example is the composite Fermi liquid, a non-Fermi liquid formed by composite fermions in strong magnetic fields. Its zero-field counterpart is predicted in a twisted MoTe bilayer (tMoTe)-a recently discovered fractional Chern insulator exhibiting the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect.

The precursor nanoparticles of nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)) and nickel oxide (NiO) were successfully converted into the latter by the reaction of nickel chloride with hydrazine at ambient temperature. (TGA) and (DSC) were adapted for annealing the precursor products at different annealing temperatures (210, 285, 350, 390, 425, and 450 °C). XRD, TEM, and UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy were used to characterize the products.
