Two-dimensional (2D) chromium telluride Cr2Te3 exhibits strong ferromagnetic ordering with high coercivity at low temperatures and paramagnetic behavior when approaching room temperature. The spin states of monolayer Cr2Te3 show ferromagnetic ordering in the ground state. In situ Raman analysis reveals a reversible structure transformation and hence proves ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition during low-temperature heating cycles (0–25 °C). The magnetic phase transition near room temperature in 2D Cr2Te3 prompted an exploratory study of these layered materials for energy application. We demonstrate that the low-temperature ferromagnetic behavior can be used to magnetically deice material surfaces using an external magnetic source, avoiding the use of harsh chemicals and high temperatures. The hydrophobic nature and dipole interactions of H2O molecules with the surface of the 2D Cr2Te3 coating aid in the condensation of ice droplets formed on the surfaces. First-principles calculations also confirm the observed crystal structure, surface interaction, and magnetic properties of 2D Cr2Te3.

Novel cobalt bis(dicarbollide) based terminal alkynes with charge-compensated group in a spacer were synthesized by the nucleophilic ring-opening reactions of cyclic oxonium derivatives of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) with N,N-dimethylbut-3-yn-1-amine. A series of zwitterionic conjugates of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) with BODIPY were synthesized using the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The absorption-emission spectra of the synthesized fluorescent conjugates of cobalt ...

Pyruvylation is one of the immunochemically relevant modifications of O-antigens in bacterial and fungal cells. Therefore, fast and relatively simple analytical methods for identifying this modification are highly demanded. 13C NMR spectroscopy is the best candidate for this purpose, but its successful application requires using reference structures and reliable databases. In this work, we collected ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...
