Magnetism of two-dimensional chromium tellurides by Yang, Jiefu, Zhu, Chao, Deng, Ya, Tang, Bijun, Liu, Zheng

“…2D ferromagnets have garnered considerable attention for their potential applications in spintronics, magnonics, and spin-orbitronics. Chromium tellurides (CrxTey), in particular, have drawn interest due to their exceptional magnetic properties and diverse range of chemical stoichiometries, attributed to the phenomenon of chromium self-intercalation. …”

Pressure-Dependent Polymorphism and Band-Gap Tuning of Methylammonium Lead Iodide Perovskite by Jiang, Shaojie, Fang, Yanan, Li, Ruipeng, Xiao, Hai, Crowley, Jason, Wang, Chenyu, White, Timothy John, Goddard III, William A., Wang, Zhongwu, Baikie, Tom, Fang, Jiye

“…We report the pressure-induced crystallographic transitions and optical behavior of MAPbI3 (MA=methylammonium) using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and laser-excited photoluminescence spectroscopy, supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the hybrid functional B3PW91 with spin-orbit coupling. The tetragonal polymorph determined at ambient pressure transforms to a ReO3-type cubic phase at 0.3 GPa. …”
