https://www.selleckchem.com/ Topological materials that possess spin-momentum locked surface states provide an ideal platform to manipulate the quantum spin states by electrical means. However, an antisymmetric magnetoresistance (MR) superimposed on the spin-polarized transport signals is usually observed in the spin potentiometric measurements of topological materials, rendering more power loss and reduced signal-to-noise ratio. Here we reveal the mechanism of surface-bulk interaction for the observed antisymmetric linear MR in the spin transport of Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 nanoplates. The antisymmetric linear MR can be eliminated through sample surface modifications. As a consequence, clean signals of charge current induced spin-polarized transport are observed, robust up to room temperature. The purification of spin signals can be attributed to the isolation of surface and bulk transport channels via forming a charge depletion layer with surface modifications. This surface engineering strategy should be valuable for high-performance spintronic devices on topological materials.A direct and efficient palladium-catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenative fluoroalkoxylation of benzaldehydes is reported here for the first time. The method features mild reaction conditions, good tolerance of functional groups, and a broad substrate scope. The protocol employs the transient directing group strategy, thereby avoiding the additional installation and removal of directing groups, endowing the method with great advantages of atom and step economy. The approach should find broad applications in drug synthesis and discovery processes.Ammonia borane (NH3BH3) has long attracted considerable interest for its high hydrogen content and easy dehydrogenation conditions which make it a promising hydrogen storage material. Here, we report on a computational study of the structural stability and phase transition sequence of NH3BH3 and associated lattice dynamics and electronic properties in a wid
