The oxygen octahedral rotation around the out-of-plane axis is explored to study its effect on metastable status, magnetic cluster glass in manganite. The antiphase rotation around the out-of-plane axis (TiO ) of SrTiO enhances the Mn-O bond anisotropy along in-plane and out-of-plane directions and weakens the ferromagnetic interactions in a 12 nm PrSrMnO film on the (001) SrTiO substrate, which together promote the formation of magnetic cluster-glassiness and enlarges the irreversible magnetoresistance (MR) effect with enhanced relaxation time of charge carriers. The effect of TiO in the SrTiO substrate on material properties is obvious with a large irreversible MR effect for thin films, which fades away with the increase in film thickness. At 10 K, the irreversible MR is 0.91 for the 12 nm film and 0.22 for the 30 nm film. This work extends current understanding on interfacial coupling to metastable status and could help explore other systems in the perovskite structure with octahedral rotation.

The Jahn-Teller (JT) deformation triggers severe structural distortion and large capacity fading in the cathode materials of alkali-ion batteries. Although conventional doping containing over 20 dopant species has been demonstrated to suppress the JT effect, how the short-range and cooperative JT effect are regulated remains an open question. Recently, the new compositionally complex (high entropy) doping has been validated in various oxide cathodes and achieved "zero strain", but the reported "synergistic effect" is largely factual reporting with a limited fundamental understanding of the link between multicomponents and the JT effect.

The biotin-conjugated Fe(III) catecholate complex [Fe(BioL)3]3-, Fe(BioL)3 (BioLH2 = N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl)-5-((3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl)pentanamide) is reported as targeted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) to increase the payload for early-stage imaging of tumours. The high spin state and octahedral coordination of the Fe(III) complex are confirmed by EPR spectra and DFT optimized structure, respectively. The formation constant (-log K) of Fe(BioL)3 is determined as 45, which is higher than the known, more stable complex [Fe(EDTA)].

Objective: To evaluate MR elastography (MRE)-assessed biomarkers for detecting changes in skull-brain mechanical decoupling performance induced by repetitive head impacts (RHIs).
Methods: This prospective single-center study enrolled 80 asymptomatic participants (2017-2023) divided into three groups: no exposure (RHI(-)), low-impact (low RHI(+)), and high-impact (high RHI(+)). Four MRE-based parameters were evaluated to analyze the skull-brain decoupling performance: brain-to-skull rotational transmission ratio (Rtr), cortical shear strain (normalized OSS (octahedral shear strain)), cortical volumetric strain (normalized ONS (octahedral normal strain)), and the OSS-to-ONS ratio.

CsNdNbO is a hybrid improper ferroelectric (HIF) where oxygen octahedral rotation modes induce spontaneous polarization. While CsLaNbO is also believed to be an HIF, its polar structure and ferroelectric properties remain poorly understood. This study investigates their solid solution, CsLaNdNbO, by constructing a temperature-composition phase diagram using synchrotron X-ray diffractometry, first-principles calculations, and dielectric measurements.

The water-liftoff fabrication of freestanding oxide membranes at nanometer-scale thickness marks a major breakthrough in expanding the family of soft electromagnetic materials. The structure reconstruction in the newly formed two-dimensional freestanding membrane due to the chemical liftoff provides an excellent opportunity to achieve applicable functionalities. In this report, we present the anisotropic relaxation of a LaMnO epitaxial film into a nearly wrinkle- and crack-free membrane, realized by high-temperature (160 °C)-treated PMMA as the protective layer during the water liftoff process.
