Room-temperature magnetism and its stability upon miniaturization are essential characteristics required for materials for spintronic devices and information storage. Among various candidates, FeGaTe stands out due to its high Curie temperature and strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), recently gaining large attention as one of the promising candidate materials for spintronics applications. In this study, we measured the thickness-dependent ferromagnetic properties of FeGaTe and (FeNi)GaTe (with x = 0.1) flakes. We observed that both pristine and Ni-doped FeGaTe exhibit persistent ferromagnetism, with only a minor decrease in T as the thickness is reduced to a few tens of nanometers. This capacity to retain robust ferromagnetic properties at reduced dimensions is highly advantageous for thin-film applications, which is crucial for the scaling of spintronic devices. Understanding and controlling thickness-dependent magnetic properties is fundamental to harnessing the full potential of FeGaTe in van der Waals magnetic heterostructures and advanced spintronic technologies.

PVC nanocomposite (NC) films with cubic CeO and Ni-doped CeO (NDC) have been prepared using a conventional solution-casting technique. The prepared films were characterized with FT-IR spectrometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical and thermal properties of the films were evaluated using a UV-visible spectrophotometer and TGA/DSC.

The design of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts showing high catalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of great significance for developing new renewable energy storage and conversion technologies. Herein, based on the first principles calculations, we systematically explored the electrocatalytic activity of a series of transition metal atom (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pd and Pt)-doped ZnS and ZnSe nanostructures for OER and ORR. The calculated results revealed that Ni- and Pt-doped ZnS and ZnSe nanostructures exhibit promising electrocatalytic performance for both OER and ORR in comparison to the pristine ZnS and ZnSe nanostructures.
