The hydrothermal conditions, such as temperature and time, were varied to optimize the morphological characteristics of the NRs. After undergoing filtration, washing, and drying, the resulting material was characterized using several techniques, including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Our findings reveal that the NRs exhibit diverse morphologies, depending on the hydrothermal conditions, with the smallest aspect ratio observed when prepared at 200 °C for 24 hours. In addition, we investigated the gas sensing capabilities of the NRs to ammonia under these conditions.","PeriodicalId":10571,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Physics","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85208136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The multi-band transfer-matrix formalism is applied for numerically solving the Schrodinger equation to derive the hole wave transmission. We then calculate the transmission asymmetry and discuss its dependence on the right electrode magnetization magnitude, as well as the angles determining relatively the orientation of two magnetization vectors.

Currently, there is greater focus on the investigation to control the size and shape of nanomaterials, including the nanospherical form, which allows for precise labeling by only one nanoparticle. This paper demonstrates, for the first time, the construction of a biological nanospherical probe (BNSP) Gd2O3: Yb3+, Er3+/Silica/NH/mAb^CD133 for diagnostic labeling of cancer stem cells (CSCs) NTERA-2. The BNSP was constructed using highly monodisperse spheres with around 200nm uniform size of Gd2O3: 7.6% Yb3+, 1.6% Er3+. They were functionalized by an amine group-contained shell coating and conjugated with CD133 monoclonal antibody. The functionalized nanosphere Gd2O3: Yb, Er/silica/NH2 showed strong upconversion luminescence in red color upon laser excitation in the near-infrared region at 975 nm. The Gd2O3: Yb3+, Er3+/silica/NH2 was carefully implemented to conjugate mAb^CD133 via a linker, glutaraldehyde, to obtain the predictable probe Gd2O3: Yb3+, Er3+/Silica/NH/mAb^CD133. Then, this BNSP was tested in vitro for its capacity to label NTERA-2 cancer stem cells. The efficient labeling based on the fluorescent immunoassay method was detected by incorporating a nanophotometer, Field Energy Scan Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and precisely determined by fluorescent microscopy. The study shows that the BNSP is highly efficient with targeting capacity and specificity in the labeling of cancer stem cells. These advanced results open up promising avenues for the development of precise imaging diagnostics in cancer cellular biomedicine, and beyond.","PeriodicalId":10571,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Physics","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87691931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides, the inverse susceptibility is confirmed to follow Curie-Weiss's law above another critical temperature $T_{CW}$. By increasing the FM interaction probability, we have observed the FM-PM critical temperature $T_c$ shifted to the higher value while the Curie-Weiss critical temperature $T_{CW}$ moves to the lower.

In this study, we investigate the potential of using reactor neutrino detectors for nuclear safeguards in Vietnam, specifically at the Dalat Nuclear Reactor, a future research facility, and presumably commercial reactors with 500~kW, 10~MW, and 1000~MW thermal powers, respectively. We compute the rate of observed inverted beta decay events, as well as the statistical significance of extracting isotope composition under the practical assumptions of detector mass, detection efficiency, and background level. We find that a 1-ton detector mass can allow us to detect the reactor's on-off transition state from a few hours to a few days, depending on the standoff distance and reactor thermal power. We investigate how background and energy resolution affect the precision of the extracted weapon-usable (^{239})Pu isotope. We conclude that in order to distinguish the 10% variation of the (^{239})Pu in the 10~MW thermal power reactor, a 1-ton detector placed 50~m away must achieve 1% background level.
