Spin injection across 160 nm thick semi-crystalline Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) is methodically investigated at room temperature in PVDF-HFP/NiFe bilayers and Ag/(NiFe or Co)/PVDF-HFP/NiFe vertical organic spin valves (OSVs) using both the co-planar waveguide ferromagnetic resonance (CPW-FMR: 7-35 GHz) and magnetoresistance (MR) techniques. The structural and microstructural characteristics of PVDF-HFP reveal the formation of mixed non-ferroelectric alpha and ferroelectric beta phases. The spin injection due to the transfer of angular momentum in PVDF-HFP/NiFe is quantified by measuring the spin-mixing conductance () and the enhancement in Gilbert damping () parameters from CPW-FMR data. A significant increase inof 26% andof (2.72 ± 0.45) × 10mhighlights the efficient spin injection into the PVDF-HFP spacer layer. Further, the MR in OSV structures reveals a room temperature spin injection with a maximum MR of 0.278 ± 0.006% for Ag/Co/PVDF-HFP/NiFe and 0.349 ± 0.039% for the Ag/NiFe/PVDF-HFP/NiFe devices. Furthermore, the spin injection processes are discussed w.r.t to bias voltages, interfaces and microwave frequencies.

The orbital Hall effect originating from light materials with weak spin-orbit coupling, has attracted considerable interest in spintronic applications. Recent studies demonstrate that orbital currents can be generated from charge currents through the orbital Hall effect in ferromagnetic materials. However, the generation of orbital currents in antiferromagnets has so far been elusive.

We study experimentally the nonlinear mode coupling between circular polarizations in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) device developed for spin injection. The specific experimental arrangement that includes a Faraday rotator enables laser oscillation on left-circular or right-circular polarization, by adjusting the cavity losses. We show the simultaneous oscillation of both polarizations never occurs, proving that the Lamb coupling constant is very close to 1 in this VCSEL device, a situation that is ideal for spintronic applications.

NH-MIL-125(Ti)/TiO heterojunction with non-disturbed dual reactive centers for synchronous photocatalytic removal of Cr(VI) and organic dyes.

Chromium (VI) (Cr(VI)) generally coexists with organic dyes in industrial effluents, posing a formidable challenge in water purification. Herein, NH-MIL-125(Ti)/TiO Z-scheme heterojunction with intimate interfacial contact was synthesized for synchronous removal of pollutant in coexisting Cr(VI)/dyes system under simulated solar irradiation. Structural and optical investigations indicated that a well-defined interface was formed by establishing a Ti-N-C bond, facilitating the spatial separation of the photoexcited carriers of the Z-scheme heterojunction.

Chiral perovskites, which are applied to spin organic light-emitting diodes as a spin-induced spin selectivity (CISS) layer, have attracted increasing amounts of attention. A device based on a thicker perovskite CISS layer leads to strongly spin-polarized EL emission. However, chiral perovskite films suffer from poor device performance due to difficulties in carrier injection and film quality.

Hydrogen sulfide is a lethal toxic gas that disrupts cellular respiration in the mitochondrial system. Currently, no antidote is available for the clinical treatment of hydrogen sulfide poisoning. In this study, we investigated the function of iron(III)porphyrin complexes as hydrogen sulfide scavengers in water and evaluated their potential use as therapeutic agents for hydrogen sulfide poisoning.
