来源：ACS PublicationsThe growing demand for nonreciprocal optical devices has intensified the need for high-performance magneto-optical materials. Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) stands out for its excellent magnetic and magneto-optical characteristics. In this work, centimeter-sized dysprosium-doped YIG single crystals were successfully synthesized via the top-seeded solution growth method. The integration of Dy3+ ions significantly reduces both coercivity and saturation magnetization compared with pure YIG, enabling magnetic saturation under lower external fields. The as-grown crystal exhibits ferri...

来源：ACS PublicationsThe selective separation of rare-earth elements (REEs) from uranium tailings is essential for radioactive waste management and the sustainable development of nuclear energy. This study demonstrates the highly selective electrochemical separation of erbium (Er) and europium (Eu) employing a liquid zinc cathode in molten LiCl-KCl. Through a suite of electrochemical techniques coupled with semi-integral and semidifferential analyses, we systematically elucidated the reduction pathways, product solubility, and underpotential deposition behavior of Er(III) and Eu(III) on the liqu...

来源：ACS PublicationsWe investigated the photoelectrical conversion properties of various rare-earth ferrites (REFeO3) as photoelectrochemical capacitor cathode materials. Among electrodes of LaFeO3 with different crystallinities, the electrode using it prepared by solid-state synthesis showed the highest photovoltage. Its highest crystallinity probably suppressed the electron–hole recombination to promote the hole accumulation. In various REFeO3 (LaFeO3, NdFeO3, GdFeO3, and ErFeO3), electrical conductivity and photovoltage were increased with increasing rare-earth ion size. We consider that hol...

来源：ACS PublicationsWe describe the osteogenic potential and hemocompatibility of rare-earth-doped hydroxyapatite in a murine preosteoblastic (MC3T3-E1) cell line, aiming to assess the osteoblast differentiation effect of ytterbium-, terbium-, cerium-, and europium-doped hydroxyapatite through alkaline phosphatase activity and the expression levels of osteogenic marker genes, including Runx2, ALP, OPN, and BMP2. Our findings reveal various levels of enhancement in early osteogenic activity across the four dopants. Among the dopants tested, europium- and ytterbium-doped hydroxyapatites produce t...
