An effective approach to sulfate separation from aqueous solutions was developed based on crystallization of sulfate-water clusters with a simple ligand self-assembled in situ from water-soluble subcomponents.
A hypercrosslinked polymer was synthesized by a Friedel-Crafts alkylation of a phenolic resin with a robust mesoporous framework to avoid framework shrinkage and maximize retention of organic functional groups.
ORNL researchers successfully developed a so
Spatial localization of distinct photoexcited species were identified in light harvesting perovskite based materials using ultrafast transient absorption microscopy (TAM).
Thallium-doping (5%) of BaFe2As2 crystal causes a surprising rise of the antiferromagnetic transition temperature (TN), related to magneto-elastic coupling. This is the first example of the increase of TN with chemical doping in BaFe2As2.
Helium implantation allows for continuous control of optical band gaps in semiconducting films through the resultant strain — an impossibility with traditional strain engineering.

Compositional complexity is found to strongly affect electrical, thermal, and magnetic properties of nickel-containing face-centered cubic concentrated alloys.
Compared to pure nickel, tuning chemical composition in binary alloys has altered migration barriers of defects, and significantly affected defect dynamics under ion irradiation.
The detection of local phase transitions remains challenging, and to date most techniques can detect properties that change at macroscopic scales or at atomic scales, but virtually no technique offers the ability to monitor and map bias-induced phase trans
