The impact of a magneto-structural phase transition on the carrier effective mass in CuFeS plasmonic semiconductor nanocrystals was examined using Magnetic Circular Dichroism (MCD). Through MCD, the sample was confirmed as p-type from variable temperature studies from 1.8 - 75 K. Magnetic field dependent behavior is observed, showing an asymptotic behavior at high field with an value 5.98 at 10 T and 2.73 at 2 T. Experimentally obtained results are holistically compared to SQUID magnetization data and DFT results, highlighting a dependency on vacancy driven polaronic coupling, magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and plasmon coupling of the magnetic field all contributing to an overall decrease in the hole mean free path dependent on the magnetic field applied to CuFeS.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in electrophysiological and behavioral dysfunction. Electrical stimulation (ES) is considered to be an effective treatment for mild SCI; however, ES is not applicable to severe SCI due to the disruption of electrical conduction caused by tissue defects. Therefore, the use of conductive materials to fill the defects and restore electrical conduction in the spinal cord is a promising therapeutic strategy.

The present work describes the process of the creation and analysis of the first dataset containing processing parameters and functional properties of soft magnetic composites (SMC). All data were obtained experimentally using Fe-3% MgO system. When creating samples, parameters such as a size of MgO nanoparticles, pressing pressure, sintering temperature, time and atmosphere were varied.

High thermoelectric performance is generally achieved by synergistically optimizing two or even three of the contradictorily coupled thermoelectric parameters. Here we demonstrate magneto-thermoelectric correlation as a strategy to achieve simultaneous gain in an enhanced Seebeck coefficient and reduced thermal conductivity in topological materials. We report a large magneto-Seebeck effect and high magneto-thermoelectric figure of merit of 1.
