Despite the tremendous progress in spintronic studies of the van der Waals (vdW) room-temperature ferromagnet FeGaTe, much less effort has been spent on studying its lattice dynamics and possible interaction with spintronic degrees of freedom. In this work, by combining Raman spectroscopy in a wide range of pressures (atmospheric pressure ∼19.5 GPa) and temperature (80-690 K) with first-principles calculations, we systematically studied the lattice dynamics and phonon dispersion of FeGaTe. Our results show that the phonon energies of FeGaTe located at 126.0 and 143.5 cm originate from the anharmonic and harmonic vibration modes, respectively. Furthermore, the first room-temperature spin-phonon coupling in the vdW ferromagnet is observed with a strength of ∼0.81 cm at 300 K, by identifying Raman anomalies in both phonon energy and full width at half-maximum of below the Curie temperature of FeGaTe. Our findings are valuable for fundamental and applied studies of vdW materials under variable conditions.

Transition metal and metal oxide heterojunctions have been widely studied as bifunctional oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER) electrocatalysts for Zn-air batteries, but the dynamic changes of transition metal oxides and the interface during catalysis are still unclear. Here, bifunctional electrocatalyst of Co─CoNbO is reported, containing lattice interlocked Co nanodots and CoNbO nanorods, which construct a strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) interface. Unlike the recognition that transition metals mainly serve as ORR active sites and metal oxides as OER active sites, it is found that both ORR/OER sites originate from CoNbO, while Co acts as an electronic regulatory unit.

A critical feature of microtubules is their GTP cap, a stabilizing GTP-tubulin rich region at growing microtubule ends. Microtubules polymerized in the presence of GTP analogs or from GTP hydrolysis-deficient tubulin mutants have been used as GTP-cap mimics for structural and biochemical studies. However, these analogs and mutants generate microtubules with diverse biochemical properties and lattice structures, leaving it unclear what is the most faithful GTP mimic and hence the structure of the GTP cap.

Two-dimensional polar materials with adjustable polarization hold significant potential to improve photocatalytic water-splitting performance. However, due to the distinct mechanism for regulating polarization and photocatalysis, achieving efficient polarization modulation for enhanced photocatalytic efficiency remains challenging. Herein, using first-principles calculations with non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations, we identify four single-layer materials of MoXX'NY (X and X' = Si and Ge; X ≠ X'; and Y = P and As), whose catalytic activity can be well-tuned by polarization switching.

The ability to dynamically manipulate the optoelectronic and magnetic properties in functional materials under nonequilibrium conditions is essential for the advancement of quantum technologies and energy-related applications. Here, we demonstrate a novel method to regulate the optoelectronic and magnetic properties of YCoO, a representative perovskite oxide, using ultrafast vortex laser pulses coupled with nonlinear phonon interactions. Vortex light, characterized by its helical phase front and topological charge, allows selective excitation of infrared phonon modes, enabling anisotropic lattice distortions and precise modulation of material properties.
