Substituting rare-earth Eu ions with a large atomic number into 3d transition metal oxides can precisely control their magnetic properties through significant spin-orbit coupling, leading to noncollinear magnetism. Experimental investigations are combined density functional theory explore site-selective Eu3+ substitution as strategy enhance the of Fe3O4 thin films. The location Eu3+, that is, octahedral versus tetrahedral, is confirmed by electrical resistivities and valence band...

The stable performance of organic photodiodes (OPDs) is crucial for realizing reliable photosensing and their facile integration into larger systems. However, OPDs with the commonly used ZnO electron transport layer (ETL) suffer from photoinstability, where dark current increases by several orders magnitude after light irradiation, thereby affecting stability photodetection. Herein, increase in irradiation ETL suppressed to approximately twice its initial value. This suppression achieved...
