Herein, we report the fabrication of uniform nanofilm substrates composed of Au–Ag alloy hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) with tunable sizes, demonstrating exceptional performance as SERS platforms. Using crystal violet (CV) as a Raman probe, the substrates exhibit densely and uniformly distributed “hot spots” across the nanofilm surface, enabling a detection limit as low as 10[Formula: see text] M for CV with excellent signal reproducibility (relative standard deviation, RSD [Formula: see text] 6.61%). Notably, the substrates achieve quantitative detection of thiram pesticides at ultratrace concentrations (0.01 ppb). Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations elucidate that the observed SERS enhancement originates from the synergistic contribution of two factors: (1) the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects mediated by the Au–Ag HNPs and (2) the formation of abundant, spatially homogeneous “hot spots” within the nanofilm architecture. This study highlights the potential of size-engineered Au–Ag HNP nanofilms as robust, and high-performance SERS substrates for environmental and analytical applications.","PeriodicalId":14108,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics B","volume":"39 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147903954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mn doping results in a shift in the absorption spectrum because of the changes in the band structure of the doped films. I–V curves indicate about a 50% reduction in the photocurrent onset voltage for the Mn-MoS 2 film under different light intensities. The results demonstrate that Mn doping improves the electronic structure of MoS 2 film, which is of significant importance for applications in optoelectronic sensing and photocatalysis.","PeriodicalId":14108,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics B","volume":"39 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147893732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, in the stable chimera state distributions of oscillators perform a simple rotation after a certain (sufficiently large) moment. However, a closer look unveils that dynamics are subtler that what can be observed from evolution of densities of oscillators’ phases. In order to gain the full picture, one needs to investigate dynamics on the transformation group that acts on these densities.

Thus, sperm cells swimming through non-Newtonian fluids is not vital only for physiology, but also for the fabrication of swimming micro-robots. Inspired by these remarkable applications, we examine the basic mechanics of spermatozoa motility using an undulating sheet model. This undulating sheet is bounded between two rigid walls which is self-propeling in the negative axial direction. The liquid around the spermatozoa is taken as Carreau fluid with electro-osmotic properties. The application of the lubrication approximation results in the reduction of momentum equations. The resulting ODE is solved numerically via the finite difference method and MATLAB’s built-in routine bvp5c. The unknowns that are present in the boundary conditions are refined by the root-finding algorithm.
