High-energy resolution spectroscopic studies of quantum magnets proved extremely valuable in accessing magnetodynamics quantities, such as energy barriers, magnetic interactions, and lifetime of excited states. Here, we investigate a previously unexplored flavor of low-energy spin excitations for quantum spins coupled to an electron bath. In sharp contrast to the usual tunneling signature of two steps symmetrically centered around the Fermi level, we find a single step in the conductance. Combining time-dependent and many-body perturbation theories, magnetic field-dependent tunneling spectra are explained as the result of an interplay between weak magnetic anisotropy energy, magnetic interactions, and Stoner-like electron-hole excitations that are strongly dependent on the magnetic states of the nanostructures. The results are rationalized in terms of a noncollinear magnetic ground state and the dominance of ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions. The atomically crafted nanomagnets offer an appealing model for the exploration of electrically pumped spin systems.

The ability to unlock the interplay between the activity and stability of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) represents an important endeavor toward creating robust ORR catalysts for efficient fuel cells. Herein, we report an effective strategy to concurrent enhance the activity and stability of ORR catalysts via constructing atomically dispersed Fe-Mn dual-metal sites on N-doped carbon (denoted (FeMn-DA)-N-C) for both anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFC) and proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). The (FeMn-DA)-N-C catalysts possess ample dual-metal atoms consisting of adjacent Fe-N and Mn-N sites on the carbon surface, yielded via a facile doping-adsorption-pyrolysis route.

Article Synopsis
  • Bottom-up design of electronic materials relies on precisely controlling self-assembly, using atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) as modular building blocks.
  • A new molecular silver nanocluster (0 D Ag-NC) was assembled into a one-dimensional nanocluster chain (1 D Ag-CAM) using 4,4'-bipyridine linkers, both exhibiting cuboctahedron geometries protected by organic ligands.
  • The 1 D Ag-CAM device showed superior resistive switching behavior with increased durability, a higher current ratio, and demonstrated negative differential resistance, underscoring the significance of connecting molecular nanoclusters for improved electronic memory properties.

The major threat to public health due to the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been recognised as a global issue. The increase in morbidity is primarily due to the lack of SARS-CoV-2 specific drugs. One of the major strategies to combat this threat is to deactivate the enzymes responsible for the replication of corona virus.

The brewing process of craft beer can introduce contamination by heavy metals such as Cd, Pb, and Zn from various sources. Cadmium and lead metals are particularly worrisome because of their harmful effects on human health. This study aimed to evaluate a method for quantifying the levels of Cd, Pb, and Zn in craft beer brands sold in the northern region of the Metropolitan District of Quito, Ecuador, using atomic absorption spectroscopy.
