Tuning the Surface State and Zeta Potential of Aged CuO Nanoparticles by Additive‐Free Surface Treatments as Guided by XPS

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Aging of CuO nanoparticles (NP) involves a surface reconstruction induced by hydroxylation and concurrent organic‐O adsorption, which introduces O defects in the NP subsurface region. The defective surface results in a diffuse surface space region, as reflected by a low ζ‐potential of the aged NPs in ethanol solvent.

Quadruple Helix Inversions of Liquid Crystals Orchestrated by Direct Chirality Transmission of an Intrinsically Chiral Light‐Driven Molecular Machine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A molecular motor with four‐state dynamic chirality is integrated into liquid crystals, enabling quadruple sequential helix inversions and high helical twisting power. Due to high motor efficiency, the supramolecular helicity can be controlled by near‐infrared light via upconversion nanoparticles, resulting in a robust, multistate, photoresponsive soft

Giant Berry‐phase‐Driven X‐Ray Beam Translations in Strain‐Engineered Semiconductor Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the Berry‐phase effect, X‐rays propagating in deformed crystals undergo large translations, interesting for X‐ray optics applications. Here, the lattice expansion observed upon H irradiation of dilute‐nitride semiconductors is exploited to engineer the deformation landscape of selectively hydrogenated GaAsN epilayers.

Atomistic Mechanisms Triggered by Joule Heating Effects in Metallic Cu‐Bi Nanowires for Spintronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bi doped metallic Cu nanowires are promising for spintronics thanks to the stabilization of a giant spin Hall effect. However, heat resulting from current injection forces Bi to leave solution, forcing segregation into monoatomic decorations which evolve into coherent crystalline aggregates.

Magnetic Domain Texture in Fe3O4 Thin Films on SiO2 Nanospheres

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Fe3O4 thin films grown on ordered SiO2 nanospheres form curved nanocaps with 3D geometry, inducing magnetic domain texture. X‐ray spectromicroscopy (XMCD‐PEEM), cross‐sectional electron microscopy (STEM), and polarized grazing‐incidence small‐angle neutron scattering (GISANS) reveal how topography modulates magnetization.
