Visualizing atomic structure and magnetism of 2D magnetic insulators via tunneling through graphene

In this work Qiu et al. demonstrate that the application of van der Waals technology to STM/STS will dramatically expand the capabilities of the latter, allowing STM/STS to investigate the structure, electronic properties and magnetism of 2D magnetic insulators at the atomic scale.

Ordered clustering of single atomic Te vacancies in atomically thin PtTe₂ promotes hydrogen evolution catalysis

Precisely regulating Pt catalytic sites is important and challenging. Herein the authors engineer the clustering of single atomic Te vacancies in atomically thin PtTe₂ to optimize the electronic structure, adsorption energy, and catalytic performance of atomically defined Pt sites.

Quantum tunnelling with tunable spin geometric phases in van der Waals antiferromagnets

It is difficult to control the geometric phase of particles as they undergo quantum tunnelling. Now tuning of the geometric phase of electron spin is demonstrated in tunnelling in a multilayer van der Waals antiferromagnet.

Evidence for electron–hole crystals in a Mott insulator

Scanning tunnelling microscopy of doped RuCl₃ shows distinct charge orderings at the lower and upper Hubbard bands, which can be attributed to a correlation-driven honeycomb hole crystal composed of hole-rich Ru sites and a rotational-symmetry-breaking paired electron crystal composed of electron-rich Ru–Ru bonds.

Atomically-precise dopant-controlled single cluster catalysis for electrochemical nitrogen reduction

The fabrication of singly dispersed metal cluster catalysts with atomic-level control of dopants is a long-standing challenge. Here, the authors report a strategy for the synthesis of a precisely doped single cluster catalyst which shows exceptional activity for electrochemical dinitrogen reduction.

Defects controlled hole doping and multivalley transport in SnSe single crystals

Knowledge of the electronic structure of group-IV monochalcogenides is essential for their application in high-performance thermoelectric energy harvesting. Here, using photoemission spectroscopy, the authors reveal the impact of doping, and the anisotropic nature of the band structure of SnSe.
