The pyrite-structure transition-metal disulfide NiS2 is in principle a model cubic antiferromagnetic Mott insulator that can be doped through insulator-metal transitions with both electrons and holes (in Ni1–xCuxS2 and Ni1–xCoxS2), eventually inducing superconductivity and ferromagnetism, respectively. Magnetism and transport have proven challenging to understand in NiS2, however. The antiferromagnetic spin structure below ∼39K is complex due to frustration, while unexplained weak ferromagnetism emerges below ∼30K. Surface conduction is also now understood to dominate in NiS2 at low temperatures, raising questions about the interpretation of decades of prior data. Here, we present a complete study of the surface magnetotransport phenomena that emerge at low temperatures in high-quality single-crystal NiS2, which turn out to be strikingly rich. On cooling, isotropic magnetoresistance due to a field-induced shift of the first-order weak ferromagnetic ordering transition is first uncovered, i.e., metamagnetic magnetoresistance. At lower temperatures, larger, anisotropic magnetoresistance effects arise due to distinct switching events associated with the weak ferromagnetism. Strong evidence is presented that this is due to a field-driven in-plane to out-of-plane reorientation of surface spins, likely correlated with surface steps and terraces. In-plane exchange bias accompanies these effects, further supporting this interpretation. At the lowest temperatures, the spin reorientation field eventually exceeds the 9-T measurement window, generating strongly field-asymmetric magnetoresistance. Some of these unusual phenomena also manifest in the Hall channel, culminating in a sizable anomalous Hall effect at low temperatures. These results significantly demystify recent magnetoresistance and magnetic microscopy observations in NiS2 crystals and nanoflakes, and constitute an important step in elucidating the complex electronic and magnetic properties of this pivotal antiferro

Recently, the twist-angle effect on two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials, such as bilayer graphene, has attracted great attention. Many novel electronic, magnetic, and even optical properties induced by such effects have been discovered. However, the twist-angle effect on a phononic property is not so remarkable. By investigating the thermal conductivity of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), we reveal that the trivial twist-angle effect on a phononic property observed in previous studies is owing to the nonlocalization nature of phonons. This characteristic makes phonons hardly trapped by the weak interlayer potentials induced by the twist-angle dependent moiré pattern. We propose that the twist-angle effect can be effectively enhanced by increasing the interface coupling. Using a sandwich structure composed of hexagonal boron nitride and TBG, we demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of TBG can be either significantly increased or dramatically decreased under the synergistic modulation of interlayer-coupling strength and twist angle. Particularly, the twist-angle effect can lead to a nontrivial reduction of thermal conductivity by up to 78% when a strong interlayer coupling is applied. The reduction is several times larger than that observed in the freestanding TBG originating from the twist-angle dependent phonon scatterings induced by the edge phonons. The underlying mechanism for the giant twist-angle dependent thermal conductivity is further revealed based on phonon transport theory. Our findings provide a platform for achieving efficient twist-angle modulation on the phonon transport property of vdW materials.

Multiphasic scaffolds with tailored gradient features hold significant promise for tissue regeneration applications. Herein, this work reports the transformation of two-dimensional (2D) layered fiber mats into three-dimensional (3D) multiphasic scaffolds using a ‘solids-of-revolution’ inspired gas-foaming expansion technology. These scaffolds feature precise control over fiber alignment, pore size, and regional structure. Manipulating nanofiber mat layers and Pluronic F127 concentrations allows further customization of pore size and fiber alignment within different scaffold regions. The cellular response to multiphasic scaffolds demonstrates that the number of cells migrated and proliferated onto the scaffolds is mainly dependent on the pore size rather than fiber alignment. In vivo subcutaneous implantation of multiphasic scaffolds to rats reveals substantial cell infiltration, neo tissue formation, collagen deposition, and new vessel formation within scaffolds, greatly surpassing the capabilities of traditional nanofiber mats. Histological examination indicates the importance of optimizing pore size and fiber alignment for the promotion of cell infiltration and tissue regeneration. Overall, these scaffolds have potential applications in tissue modeling, studying tissue-tissue interactions, interface tissue engineering, and highthroughput screening for optimized tissue regeneration.
