Suitable TM doping at the Mn site is an important access to manipulate magnetic properties of hexagonal YMnO, however, it has not yet been systematically explored how the strength of antiferromagnetic interactions and the magnetic transition temperatures ( ) are modified in the doping YMnTMO systems. In the work, we have performed first-principles calculations to study the effect of TM doping on the structural and magnetic properties of hexagonal YMnTMO bulks; the results are combined with the available experimental results. The calculated results reveal that the planar TM-O bonds and O-TM-O angles of TMO bipyramid are both prominent structural features for the transformations of magnetic properties. We have also predicted the Ti, V, Cr and Fe doping effects on magnetic properties and further analyzed the TM electronic structures of TMO bipyramid in the YMnTMO(001)/MgO(001) film configurations, which could provide more understanding towards the designing of new generation multifunctional devices.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a semiconductor with a wide range of applications, and often the properties are modified by metal-ion doping. The distribution of dopant atoms within the ZnO crystal strongly affects the optical and magnetic properties, making it crucial to comprehend the structure down to the atomic level. Our study reveals the dopant structure and its contents in Eu-doped ZnO nanosponges with up to 20% Eu-O clusters.

Auxetic materials hold tremendous potential for many advanced applications, but candidates are quite scarce, especially at two dimensions. Here, we focus on two-dimensional (2D) metal dichalcogenides and dihalides with the chemical formula MX2 by screening structures sharing the P4̄m2 space group among 330 MX2 compounds from the computational 2D materials database. Via high-throughput first-principles computations, 25 stable MX2 (M = Mg, Ca, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ge, Cd, Sn; X = F, Cl, Br, I, O, S, Se) systems with in-plane negative Poisson's ratios (NPRs) are successfully identified.

Isostructural Dy(III) and Er(III) complexes [L12Ln(H2O)5][I]3·L12·(CH2Cl2) (Ln = Dy (1), Er (3)) and [L22Ln(H2O)5][I]3·L22·(CH2Cl2)2 (Ln = Dy (2), Er (4)), with distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry (D5h) around the central metal were synthesized by utilizing two bulky phosphonamide ligands, adamantyl phosphonamide, (Ad)P(O)(NHiPr)2 (L1) and carbazolyl phosphoramide (Cz)P(O)(NHiPr)2 (L2). The resultant complexes were investigated for their magnetic properties in order to elucidate the impact of modification of the coordinating P-O bond environment either by increasing steric bulk and/or introduction of a third P-N bond at the central phosphorus atom. Magnetic studies revealed substantial energy barriers (Ueff) of 640 K and 560 K for Dy compounds 1 and 2, respectively, rendering them as some of the best-performing air-stable SIMs amongst the class of SIMs with D5h symmetry.

Moiré superlattices, created by stacking different van der Waals materials at twist angles, have emerged as a versatile platform for exploring intriguing phenomena such as topological properties, superconductivity, the quantum anomalous Hall effect, and the unconventional Stark effect. Additionally, the formation of moiré superlattice potential can generate spontaneous symmetry breaking, leading to an anisotropic optical response and electronic transport behavior. Herein, we propose a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) strategy for synthesizing WS/SbS moiré superlattices.

Additive manufacturing (AM) of magnetic materials has recently attracted increasing interest for various applications but is often limited by the high cost and supply chain risks of rare-earth-element (REE) magnetic precursors. Recent advances in nanomanufacturing have enabled the development of rare-earth-free (REF) magnetic materials, such as spinel ferrites, hexaferrites, MnAl, MnBi, Alnico, FePt, and iron oxides/nitrides, which offer promising alternatives for printing high-performance magnetic devices. This review provides a detailed overview of the latest developments in REF magnetic materials, covering both synthesis strategies of REF magnetic materials/nanomaterials and their integration into AM processes.
