Published: September 2021

Chromium iodide monolayers, which have different magnetic properties in comparison to the bulk chromium iodide, have been shown to form skyrmionic states in applied electromagnetic fields or in Janus-layer devices. In this work, we demonstrate that spin-canted solutions can be induced into monolayer chromium iodide by select substitution of iodide atoms with isovalent impurities. Several concentrations and spatial configurations of halide substitutional defects are selected to probe the coupling between the local defect-induced geometric distortions and orientation of chromium magnetic moments. This work provides atomic-level insight into how atomically precise chemical doping can be used to create and control complex magnetic patterns in chromium iodide layers and lays out the foundation for investigating the field- and geometric-dependent magnetic properties in similar two-dimensional materials.

Carbon-Carbon Bond Activation at Chromium(I): An 11-Electron Complex Cleaving Dialkynes.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

An 11-electron T-shaped chromium(I) complex was obtained by reduction of a PNP-supported chromium(II) iodide complex. Its d high-spin electronic structure was characterized employing paramagnetic NMR, EPR, UV/Vis and magnetic measurements (SQUID). The complex readily reacts with conjugated dialkynes to cleave the internal C-C bond, forming the respective acetylide complexes.

We analyze magnetic properties of monolayers and bilayers of chromium iodide, [Formula: see text], in two different stacking configurations: AA and rhombohedral ones. Our main focus is on the corresponding Curie temperatures, hysteresis curves, equilibrium spin structures, and spin wave excitations. To obtain all these magnetic characteristic, we employ the atomistic spin dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques.

Due to advances in surgical procedures and the biocompatibility of materials used in total joint replacement, more and younger patients are undergoing these procedures. Although state-of-the-art joint replacements can last 20 years or longer, wear and corrosion is still a major risk for implant failure, and patients with these implants are exposed for longer to these corrosive products. It is therefore important to investigate the potential effects on the whole organism.

Advances in selective laser melting (SLM) of metals in the past two decades have made metals additive manufacturing more accessible for industrial adoption. Despite printing process improvements, post-processing of SLM components has not improved much, resulting in considerable costs, delay, and design limitations. Building upon recent advances in sensitization-based self-terminating etching processes, this work details a new set iodine-based sensitization and etching chemistries that simplify the post-processing of copper (Cu) alloy components fabricated using SLM.
