Distinct magneto-optical response of Frenkel and Wannier excitons in CrSBr

This study shows that CrSBr hosts Frenkel-like and Wannier-Mott-like excitons whose distinct spatial character explains their contrasting sensitivity to magnetic order and lattice vibrations, challenging the standard dichotomy in describing excitons.

Ultranarrow electroluminescence from magnetic excitons in the van der Waals antiferromagnetic semiconductor NiPS₃

NiPS₃ is a van der Waals antiferromagnetic semiconductor where the exciton formation is strongly influenced by the magnetic ordering. Previous studies have been limited to magneto-optical approaches, but here, Lebedev, Gish and coauthors succeed in making field effect transistors that operate below the Néel temperature and observe an ultranarrow electroluminescence with a high degree of linear polarization.

Six-electron-conversion selenium cathodes stabilized by dead-selenium revitalizer for aqueous zinc batteries

Developing chemistries for positive electrodes with large specific capacities and high operating potentials is highly desirable for aqueous zinc batteries. Here, authors report a reversible Se electrode that undergoes ZnSe↔Se↔SeCl₄ reaction, combined with Br⁻ /Br^{n –} redox couple as Se revitalizer to enhance cycling performance.

Magnon-mediated exciton–exciton interaction in a van der Waals antiferromagnet

Using pump-power-dependent exciton absorption spectroscopy, the authors reveal magnon-mediated exciton–exciton interactions and a consequent nonlinear optical response in CrSBr, an antiferromagnetic semiconductor.

Orthogonal photopatterning of two-dimensional percolated network films for wafer-scale heterostructures

A photoreactive crosslinker can be used to directly pattern thin films of exfoliated two-dimensional flakes, and the technique can be performed sequentially to create patterned van der Waals heterostructures at wafer scales.

A library of 2D electronic material inks synthesized by liquid-metal-assisted intercalation of crystal powders

Electrochemical molecular intercalation and exfoliation are established methods to obtain 2D semiconductor inks, but they usually require costly bulk layered crystals as starting materials. Here, the authors report a facile and general liquid-metal-assisted method to synthesize >50 types of 2D material inks from low-cost crystal powders.

Unconventional superconductivity in chiral molecule–TaS₂ hybrid superlattices

By incorporating chiral molecules into conventional superconductor lattices such as TaS₂ to form a hybrid superlattice, non-centrosymmetry could be introduced and can be shown to help lead to unconventional superconductivity.

Understanding how junction resistances impact the conduction mechanism in nano-networks

The electrical properties of nanostructured networks are often dominated by junctions between the particles. Here, Gabett et al. develop transport models and utilise impedance spectroscopy to quantify the factors limiting conduction in these systems.

Dipolar spin wave packet transport in a van der Waals antiferromagnet

Understanding the mechanism by which magnons—the quanta of spin waves—propagate is important for developing practical devices. Now it is shown that long-range dipole–dipole interactions mediate the propagation in a van der Waals antiferromagnet.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Air-stable superparamagnetic metal nanoparticles entrapped in graphene oxide matrix

Zero-valent metallic nanoparticles can exhibit superparamagnetism, due to quantum effects in magnetic nanomaterials, but their syntheses can be hindered by chemical instability. Here, the authors prepare air-stable superparamagnetic nanoparticles trapped between thermally reduced graphene oxide nanosheets.
