Template effect and kinetic control enable crystal‐phase engineering of Ru nanocrystals, granting access to either metastable fcc‐Ru or stable hcp‐Ru with distinct surface structures, thermal stabilities, and catalytic behaviors. Moreover, the hcp‐Ru can further serve as an epitaxial template to direct Pd and Rh nanocrystals into the metastable hcp ...

Giant Orbital Rashba–Edelstein Effect in Crystalline Cu2O/Cu Heterostructures
An enhanced orbital Rashba–Edelstein effect is demonstrated in a crystalline Cu2O/Cu heterostructure, compared to naturally oxidized CuOx structures, highlighting the critical role of crystallinity and interface control in orbital torque generation. The resulting spin torque conductivity exceeds that of Pt, indicating the potential of orbital torque ...

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric‐Like Two‐Dimensional Electron Gas at Room Temperature
We demonstrate the realization of a novel ferroelectric‐like two‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG) based on the epitaxial interface between SrO‐terminate SrTiO3 and ferroeletric KNb0.5Na0.5O3${\rm KNb}_{0.5}{\rm Na}_{0.5}{\rm O}_3$ thin films. We show nonvolatile control of the transport properties enabling spatially reconfigurable devices in which ...
