Combining experimental investigations and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we report physical and magnetic properties of Gd-substituted YCoMnOdouble perovskite, which are strongly influenced by antisite-disorder-driven spin configurations. On Gd doping, Co and Mn ions are present in mixed-valence (Co, Co, Mnand Mn) states. Multiple magnetic transitions have been observed: (i) paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition is found to occur at= 95.5 K, (ii) antiferromagnetic transition at= 47 K is driven by3d-4fpolarization and antisite disorder present in the sample, (iii) change in magnetization below⩽20 K, primarily originating from Gd ordering, as revealed from our DFT calculations. AC susceptibility measurement confirms the absence of any spin-glass or cluster-glass phases in this material. A significantly large exchange bias effect (EB= 1.07 kOe) is found to occur below 47 K due to interfaces of FM and AFM clusters created by antisite-disorder.

Noninvasive rejuvenation strategy of nickel-rich layered positive electrode for Li-ion battery through magneto-electrochemical synergistic activation.
Nat Commun

School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin, China.
Article Synopsis
- - Nickel-rich layered oxides are a promising material for high-energy Li-ion batteries, but their performance suffers from structural issues caused by Ni/Li antisite disorder, leading to capacity loss and shorter lifespan.
- - The proposed rejuvenation strategy uses magneto-electrochemical activation to stabilize the positive electrode, transitioning Ni to a lower spin state and encouraging Li mobility, which helps recover the material's lithium sites and extend battery life.
- - This method successfully revitalizes an aged Li-ion pouch cell, increasing its capacity by 10% (from 6.49 to 7.14 Ah) and demonstrating the potential to convert low-quality electrodes into high-quality ones through this upcycling process.
Evolution of structural, magnetic and transport properties of 3-5based double perovskites NdSrCoIrO.

School of Materials Sciences, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Jadavpur, Kolkata 700032, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how substituting Nd with Sr in the compounds Nd2-xSrCoIrO alters the structural, magnetic, and transport properties due to changes in cation sizes and oxidation states, affecting charge neutrality.
- - Sr doping leads to increased Co/Ir antisite disorder, changing magnetic interactions from ferrimagnetic to antiferromagnetic, with a suppression of magnetic transitions caused by dilution of Nd-Nd interactions.
- - The compounds exhibit insulating behavior while hole doping significantly lowers room temperature resistivity, revealing conduction through a three-dimensional Mott's variable range hopping mechanism.
Mitigating Band Tailing in Kesterite Solar Absorbers: Ab Initio Quantum Dynamics.

Open-circuit voltage deficits are limiting factors in kesterite solar cells. Addressing this issue by suppressing band tailing and nonradiative charge recombination is essential for enhancing the performance. We employ ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamics to elucidate the origin of band tailing and charge losses and propose a mitigation strategy.

The development of tin-lead alloyed halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) is highly desirable for creating ultrastable, eco-friendly optoelectronic applications. However, the current incorporation of tin into the lead matrix results in severe photoluminescence (PL) quenching. To date, the precise atomic-scale structural origins of this quenching are still unknown, representing a significant barrier to fully realizing the potential of these materials.

Magnetic topological insulators (TIs) herald a wealth of applications in spin-based technologies, relying on the novel quantum phenomena provided by their topological properties. Particularly promising is the (MnBiTe)(BiTe) layered family of established intrinsic magnetic TIs that can flexibly realize various magnetic orders and topological states. High tunability of this material platform is enabled by manganese-pnictogen intermixing, whose amounts and distribution patterns are controlled by synthetic conditions.
