Atomic‐Scale Detection of Néel Vector Switching in the Single‐Layer A‐Type Antiferromagnet Cr 2 S 3 ‐2D

ABSTRACT The detection of Néel vector switching in a single‐layer A‐type antiferromagnet marks an important step toward functional two‐dimensional spintronics. Here, ‐2D, grown on graphene on Ir(110), is established as a first single‐layer A‐type antiferromagnet. Spin‐polarized s...

Isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ Pairs as Structural Motifs that Enhance CO2-to-Methanol Conversion

Abstract Isolated dual-atom sites constitute a promising yet largely unexplored strategy for directing reaction intermediates in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. In this work, we identify isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ dual-atom motifs and provide a mechanistically consistent interpretation l...

Defect Topology Governs Lithiation Pathways in Graphite Anodes

ABSTRACT The electrochemical behavior of graphite anodes is strongly affected by structural disorder, yet graphite crystallinity is often described using averaged descriptors that do not resolve the underlying defect landscape. Here, we investigate a series of industrially releva...
