AbstractThe recent discovery of the persistence of long-range magnetic order when van der Waals magnets are thinned towards monolayers provides a tunable platform for engineering of novel magnetic structures and devices. Here, we study the evolution of the electronic structure of CrGeTe3 as a function of surface electron doping.

AbstractSpin-orbit coupling in noncentrosymmetric crystals leads to spin-momentum locking – a directional relationship between an electron’s spin angular momentum and its linear momentum. Isotropic orthogonal Rashba spin-momentum locking has been studied for decades, while its counterpart, isotropic parallel Weyl spin-momentum locking has remained elusive in experiments.

AbstractIn half-metallic systems, electronic conduction is mediated by a single spin species, offering enormous potential for spintronic devices. Here, using microscopic-area angle-resolved photoemission, we show that a spin-polarised two-dimensional hole gas is naturally realised in the polar magnetic semiconductor AgCrSe2 by an intrinsic self-doping at its CrSe2-terminated surface.

Landmark clinical studies, including the NLST and NELSON trials, have done much to progress international discussions among leading health authorities, establishing lung screening's potential to improve patient outcomes. A major development this year, however, was the European Union (EU)'s official recommendation for lung screening programs at national and regional levels across its 27 members. Now, many member states are entering the implementation phase of their respective programs.
