来源：ACS PublicationsMaterials science has an important role to play in the successful establishment of quantum technologies as they are expected to develop suitable material platforms for these highly demanding applications. Among different promising solid-state materials, rare-earth ions embedded in some host crystals show outstandingly narrow optical line widths and long-lived spin states at cryogenic temperatures. In this manuscript, we explore a promising rare-earth (RE)-based material for use in quantum applications: monazite-phase LaPO4:Eu3+ crystals, providing the first comprehensive, hi...

来源：ACS PublicationsLithium intermetallics with channel structures are of interest for energy storage applications. As a major subset of these intermetallics, ternary tetrelides Li–M–Tt (M = metal; Tt = Si, Ge, Sn) were selected to apply machine learning approaches to predict whether they adopt channel vs nonchannel structures. Through the use of a conventional machine learning method (support vector classifier, SVC) and a more interpretable one (sure independence screening and sparsifying operator, SISSO), models were developed to perform this structural classification. By combining prediction...

来源：ACS PublicationsGermanate-based compounds are emerging as highly appealing candidates for nonlinear optical (NLO) applications due to their favorable electronic configurations, robust structural frameworks, and wide optical transparency. However, germanate NLO crystals with a short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge and high second-harmonic generation (SHG) response are urgently demanded. Here, a new noncentrosymmetric rare-earth germanate, K3YGe3O9 (KYGO), was successfully prepared via the spontaneous crystallization technique. KYGO crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group and features a thr...

来源：ACS PublicationsRare-earth iron garnet (RE3Fe5O12) films are promising insulating ferrimagnets. They can show low magnetic damping, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and ultrafast spin dynamics, which makes them ideal for spin transport applications. In this work, we investigate the interaction between the magnetic sublattices in Er3Fe5O12 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition on a Gd3Ga5O12 substrate. Structural and magnetic characterization reveals high-quality single-crystal growth, with a compensation temperature close to the reported bulk value (∼80 K). Magnetic phase diagrams b...
