We obtained a significant modulation efficiency of the switching field, Δμ0HSW/ΔV (Δμ0HSW/ΔE), reaching a maximum of −500 mT/V (−4.80 T nm/V); this value was more than 50 times greater than that of the ferromagnetic-based counterparts. From the temperature dependence of the modulation efficiency, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements and first-principles calculations, we showed that the origin of the giant modulation efficiency relied on the electric field modulation of the net magnetization due to the magnetoelectric effect. From the first-principles calculation and the thickness effect on the offset electric field, we found that the interfacial magnetoelectric effect emerged. Our demonstration reveals the energy-efficient and widely applicable operation of an antiferromagnetic spin based on a mechanism distinct from magnetic anisotropy control. We demonstrate the magnetic-field induced reversal of antiferromagnetic spins and the electric field modulation of the switching field. The modulation efficiency is significantly high, greater than 4 T nm/V, and this giant modulation efficiency is attributed to the magnetoelectric effect of the antiferromagnetic Cr2O3. The magnetoelectric (ME) based mechanism provides a scheme for the energy-efficient, nonvolatile, deterministic 180° switching of the magnetic state in the pure antiferromagnetic (AFM) component. This study represents a great advancement in the AFM-based ME random access memory with ultralow writing power, an inherently fast switching speed and superior robustness to the magnetic state.","PeriodicalId":19382,"journal":{"name":"Npg Asia Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41427-024-00541-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140561078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In view of this issue, artificial intelligence has recently been used to investigate and optimize thermoelectric materials. Here, we used Bayesian optimization to improve the thermoelectric properties of multicomponent III–V materials; this domain warrants comprehensive investigation due to the need to simultaneously control multiple parameters. We designated the figure of merit ZT as the objective function to improve and search for a five-dimensional space comprising the composition of InGaAsSb thin films, dopant concentration, and film-deposition temperatures. After six Bayesian optimization cycles, ZT exhibited an approximately threefold improvement compared to its values obtained in the random initial experimental trials. Additional analysis employing Gaussian process regression elucidated that a high In composition and low substrate temperature were particularly effective at increasing ZT. The optimal substrate temperature (205 °C) demonstrated the potential for depositing InGaAsSb thermoelectric thin films onto plastic substrates. These findings not only promote the development of thermoelectric devices based on III–V semiconductors but also highlight the effectiveness of using Bayesian optimization for multicomponent materials.

The viscosity of magnetic materials causes the resistive force acting on magnetic domain walls through strain due to magnetostriction, and magnetic energy is eventually dissipated by friction even without eddy currents. This energy loss mechanism explains the frequency dependence of the excess loss observed in the experiments, and the excess loss is dominated by the contribution of magnetostriction when the magnetostriction constant exceeds approximately 20 ppm. The random anisotropy model was extended by considering the effect of local magnetostriction as a correction to the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The effect of magnetostriction was considerably suppressed by the exchange-averaging effect. The estimated effective random magnetoelastic anisotropy for nanocrystalline α-Fe reached as low as 18.6 J/m3, but this static effect could not explain the high excess loss at high frequencies observed in the experiments. The results of this research could provide new design criteria for high-performance soft magnetic materials based on low magnetostriction to reduce the excess loss. The energy loss mechanism due to magnetostriction was clarified by analytical formulation considering the viscosity of magnetic materials. Effects of magnetostriction have been focused on contributions to magnetic anisotropy. However, our formulation shows that the magnetic anisotropy due to magnetostriction cannot explain excess losses in nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials, and the viscosity causes resistance forces acting on domain wall motions. This viscous resistance dissipates the magnetic energy and generates the energy loss, which has the same frequency dependence as anomalous eddy current loss. The results of this research provide new design criteria for ultra-efficient soft magnetic materials.","PeriodicalId":19382,"journal":{"name":"Npg Asia Materials","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41427-024-00538-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140298485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The utilization of physical factors to promote the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells has been established as a new strategy for developing bone tissue engineering scaffolds. In this context, scaffolds with multiscale anisotropy are considered to possess biomimetic properties, which are advantageous for their biological performance. In the present study, a novel magnetic anisotropic hydrogel (MAH) with magnetic and topographic anisotropy was designed by combining static magnetic field-induced magnetic nanomaterials and a hydrogel. In in vitro studies, the MAH exhibited excellent biocompatibility and osteogenic bioactivity. The alkaline phosphatase activity and the expression of osteogenic-related genes and proteins induced by the MAH were greater than those induced by the pure PEGDA–GelMA hydrogel (PGH) and the magnetic isotropic hydrogel (MIH). In addition, the present study revealed that the dual anisotropic properties of the MAH activated the NOTCH1/2 pathway by upregulating SNHG5 and downstream SIRT6, which modulates the level of NOTCH1/2 by antagonizing DNMT1 protein stability, ultimately inducing the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Furthermore, the MAH, MIH, and PGH were tested for in vivo bone regeneration in rabbits with femur defects, and the results demonstrated that the MAH effectively stimulated bone regeneration. Taken together, these findings suggest that this magnetically and topographically anisotropic biomimetic hydrogel might be a promising candidate for application in the field of bone tissue regeneration.

Small skyrmions were theoretically and experimentally confirmed to be generated under the influence of external fields in ferrimagnetic films via Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions (DMIs). However, this topological state has yet to be verified in ferrimagnetic crystals, especially in the absence of external fields and DMIs. Here, spontaneous biskyrmions were directly observed in the Tb0.2Gd0.8Co2 ferrimagnetic crystal with a Kagome lattice using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. The high-density biskyrmions exhibited a small size (approximately 50 nm) over a wide temperature range, were closely related to subtle magnetic interaction competition, and coexisted with some broken stripes that could be easily converted into zero-field biskyrmions by utilizing proper field-cooling manipulation. These results can be used to establish a platform for investigating functional sub-50-nm skyrmions in ferrimagnetic crystals and to facilitate advanced applications in magnetic devices. Scientists have found a new method to control small skyrmions, which are tiny magnetic patterns, in ferrimagnetic materials (materials that have a net magnetic moment even without an external magnetic field arising from the two opposite magnetic sublattices). The research, led by S.L. Zuo and K.M. Qiao, revealed that these skyrmions can be maintained in ferrimagnetic materials without requiring an external magnetic field. The researchers used a technique called Lorentz transmission electron microscopy to observe the skyrmions in a specific ferrimagnetic crystal, Tb0.2Gd0.8Co2. They discovered that the skyrmions remained stable across a broad temperature range and could be easily controlled by altering the temperature or applying a minor magnetic field. This finding could be crucial for the creation of future spintronic devices, devices that use the rotation of electrons to store and process data.

However, the current cryoMNs require cold-chain transportation and storage and do not permit the loading of autologous cells in situ. This article introduces the second generation of cryoMNs (S-cryoMNs) that address these limitations. Specifically, S-cryoMNs are made by dipping a porous MN scaffold in the cell suspension before cryopreservation. The porous scaffold can be transported at room temperature, and researchers can load any cells with the optimized cryogenic medium. As a proof-of-concept, we examined the loading and intradermal delivery of three cell types in clinically relevant in vitro and in vivo models, including mesenchymal stem cells for wound healing, melanocytes for vitiligo treatment, and antigen-pulsed dendritic cells for cancer vaccination. This research presents a novel way to transport healing cells to the skin using a tool known as a cryomicroneedle.

Understanding and controlling the coupling effects at the oxide interface are prerequisites for designing emergent interfacial phases with desired functionalities. Here, we report the dimensional control of the interface coupling-induced ferromagnetic (FM) phase in perovskite-CaRuO3/infinite-layered-SrCuO2 superlattices. Structural analysis reveals the occurrence of chain-type to planar-type structural transitions for the SrCuO2 layer as the layer thickness increases. The Hall and magnetoresistance measurements indicate the appearance of an interfacial FM state in the originally paramagnetic CaRuO3 layers when the CaRuO3 layer is in proximity to the chain-type SrCuO2 layers; this superlattice has the highest Curie temperature of ~75 K and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Along with the thickness-driven structural transition of the SrCuO2 layers, the interfacial FM order gradually deteriorates and finally disappears. As shown by the X-ray absorption results, the charge transfer at the CaRuO3/chain-SrCuO2 and CaRuO3/plane-SrCuO2 interfaces are different, resulting in dimensional control of the interfacial magnetic state. The results from our study can be used to facilitate a new method to manipulate interface coupling and create emergent interfacial phases in oxide heterostructures. Perovskite transition-metal oxides, known for their complex electron interactions, exhibit unique physical properties like superconductivity and magnetoresistance. However, layering these materials can result in new, unexpected behaviors at their interfaces. This study focuses on a layered structure of perovskite ruthenate and strontium cuprate.
