Phase control of spin waves in the van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS 3

Here we demonstrate phase control of magnons in the van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS3 using optical excitation by polarized light. The sign of the coherent precession of spin amplitude changes upon (i) reversing the helicity of a circularly polarized pump beam, or (ii) rotating the polarization of a linearly polarized pump by π/2. Because these two excitation pathways have comparable generation efficiency, the phase of spin precession can be continuously tuned from 0 to 2π by controlling the polarization state of the pump pulse. The ability to excite magnons with a desired phase has potential applications in the design of a spin-wave phased array and ultrafast spin information processing.

Manipulation of Emergent Collective Excitations via Composition Control in Mixed MPX 3 Correlated 2D Antiferromagnets

Transition metal (i.e., Mn, Fe, Cr) and chalcogen (Se) substituents are introduced into single-crystalline NiPS 3 , and the evolution of the two emergent quasi-particle excitations characteristic to the XXZ correlated antiferromagnetism of NiPS 3 (i.e., spin orbit entangled exciton (SOX) and two-magnon scattering (2M )) are investigated as functions of substituent concentration through comprehensive room- and low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectroscopy studies. These findings are further correlated with the magnetic properties of the same set of compounds reported in prior studies. The work revealed that the SOX emission intensities and linewidths are mainly controlled by the magnetic anisotropy and spin orientations, and are strongly suppressed by the introduction of substituents. The suppression depends on the type of substituent, with Fe affecting the SOX emission more than Mn and Cr. The 2 M scattering is linked to short-range correlations and exhibits greater resiliency against metal atom substitution. While the 2M peak at low temperature gets suppressed and red-shifted in frequency with increasing concentrations of all the substituents, Fe induces the weakest suppression compared to all other substituents. Altogether, these findings revealed the introduction of substituents as a powerful route to control the emergent collective excitations in NiPS 3 and mixed-MPX 3 materials.

Preparation of defect-free asymmetric gas separation membranes with dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene TM ) as a greener polar aprotic solvent

Nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) is widely used to prepare asymmetric gas separation membranes. Most industrial NIPS casting solution formulations are limited to a small group of glassy polymers and, importantly, require toxic polar aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Growing restrictions on the use of such solvents are spurring the search for more benign casting solution formulations that do not compromise membrane performance. Herein this study reports high-flux, defect-free asymmetric polysulfone (PSf) gas separation membranes prepared using dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene TM ), a polar aprotic solvent that is believed to be safer than DMAc, DMF, and NMP, as the majority casting solution component. Optimized formulations and casting conditions produce membranes with hydrogen permeances exceeding 100 gas permeance units (GPU) and selectivities at or above those of dense PSf films. Dry/wet NIPS membrane performance improved with shorter dry step times and increased Cyrene TM loadings relative to the volatile solvent, tetrahydrofuran (THF), in the casting solution. The high water-Cyrene TM Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, $\mathcal{X}12$ , and high casting solution viscosities help suppress the formation of skin layer defects and sublayer macrovoids. In some cases, membrane selectivities were influenced by substructure resistance, providing insight into the relationship between sublayer morphology and membrane performance.

Revealing Structural Evolution of Nickel Phosphide-Iron Oxide Core–Shell Nanocatalysts in Alkaline Medium for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Metal phosphide-containing materials have emerged as a potential candidate of non-precious metal-based catalysts for alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER). While it is known that metal phosphide undergoes structural evolution, considerable debate persists regarding the effects of dynamics on the surface activation and morphological stability of the catalysts. In this study, we synthesize NiP x -FeO x core-shell nanocatalysts with an amorphous NiP x core designed for enhanced OER activity. Using ex-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we elucidate the local structural changes as a function of cyclic voltammetry cycles. Our studies suggest that the presence of corner-sharing octahedra in the FeO x shell improves structural rigidity through interlayer cross-linking, thereby inhibiting the diffusion of OH - /H 2 O. Thus, the FeO x shell preserves the amorphous NiP x core from rapid oxidation to Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 and Ni(OH) 2 . On the other hand, the incorporation of Ni from the core into the FeO x shell facilitates absorption of hydroxide ions for OER. As a result, the Ni/Fe(OH) x at the surface oxidizes to the active γ-(oxy)hydroxide phase under the applied potentials, promoting OER. This intriguing synergistic behavior holds significance as such synthetic route involving the FeO x shell can be extended to other systems, enabling manipulation of surface adsorption and diffusion of hydroxide ions. These findings also demonstrate that nanomaterials with core-shell morphology can be tuned to leverage the strength of each metallic component for improved electrochemical activities.
