In order to explore the influence of weak interlayer on blasting characteristics in natural rock mass, by using the particle flow code (PFC), a single hole blasting numerical model of hard rock with soft interlayer is established. The blasting experiments at different positions and thicknesses of weak interlayer are carried out. Then an in-depth analysis from the perspectives of crack effect, stress field and energy field is made. Results showed that: (i) When the explosion is initiated outside the weak interlayer, if the interlayer is located within about twice the radius of the crushing area, the closer the interlayer is to the blast hole, the higher the damage degree of the rock mass around the blast hole. And the number of cracks will increase by about 1-2% when the distance between the weak interlayer and the blast hole decreases by 0.5 m. (ii) When detonating outside the weak interlayer, if the interlayer is within about 4 times radius of the crushing area, the hard rock on both sides of the weak interlayer will in a high stress state. Under the same case, the peak kinetic energy and peak friction energy will increase by about 23 and 13%, respectively, and the peak strain energy will increase by about 218 kJ for every 0.1 m increase in the thickness of the weak interlayer.

Pump-probe response of the spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator Sr_{2}IrO_{4} reveals a rapid creation of low-energy optical weight and suppression of three-dimensional magnetic order on laser pumping. Postpump there is a quick reduction of the optical weight but a very slow recovery of the magnetic order-the difference is attributed to weak interlayer exchange in Sr_{2}IrO_{4} delaying the recovery of three-dimensional magnetic order. We suggest that the effect has a very different and more fundamental origin.

Inorganic plastic semiconductors play a crucial role in the realm of flexible electronics. In this study, we present a cost-effective plastic thermoelectric semimetal magnesium bismuthide (α-MgBi), exhibiting remarkable thermoelectric performance. Bulk single-crystalline α-MgBi exhibits considerable plastic deformation at room temperature, allowing for the fabrication of intricate shapes such as the letters "SUSTECH" and a flexible chain.

Long-term polymer flooding exacerbates reservoir heterogeneity, intensifying intra- and inter-layer conflicts, which makes it difficult to recover the remaining oil. Therefore, further improvement in oil recovery after polymer flooding is essential. In this study, a weak gel system was successfully synthesized, and possesses a distinct network structure that becomes more compact as the concentration of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide increases.

Through the stacking technique of 2D materials, the interfacial polarization can be switched by an interlayer sliding, known as sliding ferroelectricity, which is advantageous in ultra-thin thickness, high switching speed, and high fatigue resistance. However, uncovering the relationship between the sliding path and the polarization state in rhombohedral-stacked materials remains a challenge, which is the key to 2D sliding ferroelectricity. Here, layer-dependent multidirectional sliding ferroelectricity in rhombohedral-stacked InSe (γ-InSe) is reported via dual-frequency resonance tracking piezoresponse force microscopy and conductive atomic force microscopy.

Two-dimensional organic-inorganic (2DOI) van der Waals hybrids (vdWhs) have emerged as a groundbreaking subclass of layer-stacked (opto-)electronic materials. The development of 2DOI-vdWhs via systematically integrating inorganic 2D layers with organic 2D crystals at the molecular/atomic scale extends the capabilities of traditional 2D inorganic vdWhs, thanks to their high synthetic flexibility and structural tunability. Constructing an organic-inorganic hybrid interface with atomic precision will unlock new opportunities for generating unique interfacial (opto-)electronic transport properties by combining the strengths of organic and inorganic layers, thus allowing us to satisfy the growing demand for multifunctional applications.
