Magnetoelectric coupling in insulating multiferroic materials is invaluable for both fundamental research and multifunctional device applications. However, material realization remains a significant challenge. We employ first-principles calculations to predict an enhanced and stacking-robust magnetoelectric coupling in a multiferroic van der Waals heterostructure consisting of CrCl3 and CuCrP2S6. Within this heterostructure, the intralayer ferroic orders exhibit characteristics of a type-I multiferroic, while the interlayer ferroic orders resemble those of a type-II multiferroic, thus creating a hybrid-type multiferroic. Notably, the interlayer magnetic configuration can be switched upon electric-polarization reversal, while maintaining the insulating property without any nontrivial phase transitions. Our analysis reveals a strongly interfacial spin local-field effect and proximity polarization effect on band alignments. These factors work synergistically to decide the interlayer exchange interaction and drive enhanced magnetoelectric coupling. Finally, we show that this magnetoelectric effect is robust in multilayer structures, exhibiting a dependence on the layer number's parity. This research offers promising prospects for discovering enhanced magnetoelectric couplings in hybrid multiferroic van der Waals heterostructures.

Hexagonal ABC intermetallics are predicted to have tunable ferroelectric, topological, and magnetic properties as a function of the polar buckling of BC atomic planes. We report the impact of isovalent lanthanide substitution on the buckling, structural phase transitions, and electronic and magnetic properties of GdxLa1−xPtSb films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on c plane sapphire substrates. The GdxLa1−xPtSb films form a solid solution from x=0 to x=1 and retain the polar hexagonal structure (P63mc) out to x≤0.95. With increasing x, the PtSb buckling increases and the out-of-plane lattice constant c decreases due to the lanthanide contraction. While hexagonal LaPtSb is a highly conductive polar metal, the carrier density decreases with x until an abrupt phase transition to a zero band overlap semimetal is found for cubic GdPtSb at x=1. The magnetic susceptibility peaks at small but finite x, which we attribute to Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) coupling between localized 4f moments, whose concentration increases with x, and free carriers that decrease with x. Samples with x≥0.3 show antiferromagnetic Curie-Weiss behavior and a Neel temperature that increases with x. The GdxLa1−xPtSb system provides opportunities to dramatically alter the polar buckling and concentration of local 4f moments.

Phonon vibration excitation is an effective approach to enhance photoelectric conversion efficiency of g−C3N4-based heterostructures, yet the influencing mechanism on interlayer transfer of photogenerated charges remains unclear. Herein, we show first-principles evidence of using g−C3N4/ transition metal dichalcogenide (MoTe2 and WTe2) heterostructures to achieve ultrafast interlayer transfer of photogenerated electrons and holes at the timescales of 4 ps and 200 fs, respectively. Our findings reveal that the fast transfers of photogenerated electrons and holes are both promoted by a nonadiabatic (NA) mechanism, driven via the coupling of donor and acceptor electronic states with the same phonon state. Notably, this coupling in the valence bands is significantly stronger than that in the conduction bands, which enhances interface atom motion, reduces interface distance, and strengthens wave-function overlap of spatial localized electronic states, thereby synergistically producing much faster hole transfer. Moreover, the hole transfer is also enhanced by an adiabatic (AD) mechanism through phonon-induced crossing of valence bands. Our study identifies that the synergistic effects of phonon-induced NA and AD mechanisms play a key role in interlayer transfer of photogenerated charges within g−C3N4-based heterostructures.

Thermometry based on magnetic resonance has been extensively studied in the context of biomedical imaging. In our previous work, we showed that superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles induce a strong temperature dependence to the spin-spin relaxation time (T2) of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in water because T2 scales with the highly temperature-sensitive self-diffusion constant of water. In this work, in addition to the self-diffusion constant of a fluid, we utilize the temperature-dependent magnetization of 4-nm diameter superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to enhance T2 sensitivity (ξT2T=5.0) by 1.4 times over self-diffusion (ξDT=3.5) alone in hexane between 248 and 333 K. We extend the application of this NMR thermometry approach to engineering systems by investigating the temperature dependence of T2 in mineral oil, which exhibits a remarkably high sensitivity (ξT2T=12) between 273 and 353 K. NMR thermometry, however, is not generally applicable to solids. Therefore, we also evaluate the potential of electron spin resonance (ESR) thermometry with SPIONs in the temperature range of 100 to 290 K. The temperature-dependent linewidth follows a T−2 law for 4-nm SPIONs. The linewidth at 290 K at 9.4 GHz is 11 mT. For both NMR and ESR thermometry, SPIONs with a small magnetic moment, i.e., a small volume and reduced magnetization, enhance the temperature sensitivity of magnetic resonance thermometry.

The layer Hall effect describes electrons spontaneously deflected to opposite sides at different layers, which has been experimentally reported in the MnBi2Te4thin films under perpendicular electric fields. Here, we reveal a universal origin of the layer Hall effect in terms of the so-called hidden Berry curvature, as well as material design principles. Hence, it gives rise to zero Berry curvature in momentum space but non-zero layer-locked hidden Berry curvature in real space. We show that, compared to that of a trivial insulator, the layer Hall effect is significantly enhanced in antiferromagnetic topological insulators. Our universal picture provides a paradigm for revealing the hidden physics as a result of the interplay between the global and local symmetries, and can be generalized in various scenarios.
