This is of importance due to the applications in nuclear medicine and radiation therapy. Eight channels are observed in the production of bromine isotopes: 7634Se(p, 2n) 7535Br, 7734Se(p, 3n) 7535Br, 7634Se(p, n) 7635Br, 7734Se(p, 2n) 7635Br, 7734Se(p, n) 7735Br, 7834Se(p, 2n) 7735Br, 8034Se(p, 4n) 7735Br, and 8034Se(p, n) 8035mBr. The energy of the interacting protons ranging from the threshold is 2.20–84.20 MeV and is calculated by using an activation technique. For the proton-induced production of bromine isotopes from selenium target atoms, the stopping power and the yield have been calculated. The Zeigler formula was applied to investigate the cross-sections and to determine the yield for each reaction over the stopping power range. The total energy of each reaction and the corresponding crosssections are statistically analyzed. These energies are reproduced by the incident proton energy with acceptable errors at 0.01 MeV intervals. One of the most significant results of the current calculations is the stopping power of targets evaluated within the Ziegler and SRIM approaches.","PeriodicalId":23400,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Journal of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41961171","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}

Furthermore, the electronic specific heat and the entropy for electron and hole intra-band transitions have been determined. By using appropriate experimental data and some credible approximations of the parameters in the computed expressions, we have found the phase diagrams of superconducting order parameters versus the temperature, superconducting critical temperature versus the inter-band interaction potential, temperature dependences of the electronic specific heat and entropy for electron and hole intra-band transitions, and densities of states for the electron and hole intra-band transitions as functions of the excitation energy at different values of the temperature. Finally, the phase diagrams of the condensation energy versus the temperature, inter-band pairing potential at T = 0 K versus the condensation energy, and condensation energy versus the superconducting transition temperature (TC) have been drawn. In some of the phase diagrams, the comparison between theoretical and experimental values has been made. The results are in a good agreement with previous findings.","PeriodicalId":23400,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Journal of Physics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49616748","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}

We have determined the absorption coefficient, energy gap for indirect transitions (forbidden and allowed), optical constants (such as the dielectric constant with its imaginary and real parts, refractive index, and attenuation coefficient), and optical conductivity. The results indicate that there is a proportional relationship between the optical constants and the concentration of (MnO2–ZrO2) nanoparticles, which means that an increase of the concentration of (MnO2–ZrO2) nanoparticles leads to an increase of the optical constants, while the transmission decreases. Additionally, the optical energy gap decreases from 4.83 eV to 3.4 eV and from 4.65 eV to 3.28 eV with increasing the concentration of (MnO2–ZrO2) nanoparticles for allowed and forbidden indirect transitions, respectively.
