X-ray diffraction patterns show that the obtained samples are single crystalline phases at the condition of an annealing temperature of 900 °C for 5 h and a heating rate of 2 degrees/min. FESEM images of the samples show particle sizes from the submicron to the micrometer. The magnetization of the samples decreases as the doping concentration increases. I-V characteristics and complex impedance spectra at room temperature of samples were measured. The results show that the resistivity value of the doped samples decreases in the range of 5-6 orders in magnitude compared with that of the pure YIG sample. The contribution of the grain boundaries to the impedance was analyzed. The conducting process is explained due to the tunneling of charge carriers across the grain boundary.","PeriodicalId":303178,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Mathematics - Physics","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128694601","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}

However, there are still many challenges to measuring the local temperature generated by a single nano gold in a complex media. In this work, a gold magnetic nanocrescent (G-MNC) has been studied, it composed of a superparamagnetic iron oxide core and gold shell with a size of 170 nm in glycerol/water (80:20), under 650 nm laser irradiation. Using rotational scattering correlation spectroscopy (RSCS), a sophisticated technique has been developed, the local temperature generated by only single magnetic nanocrescent was measured. The dependence of the heat generation according to the power of the laser shows that the heat generated by the gold NC is proportional to the power of the laser, and the maximum temperature was 19.5 oC, corresponding to the laser power was 29×103 W.cm-2. Under using the proper laser irradiation to the plasmon resonance, G-MNCs act as nano thermometers. The photothermal effect of the single G-MNC was implemented in a mixing solution of glycerol and water.","PeriodicalId":303178,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Mathematics - Physics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132198606","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}

However, a small reactor usually has a higher neutron leakage, and a good neutron reflector is essential to maintain the neutron economy. The main objective is selecting potential reflectors materials for the LOTUS reactor using Monte Carlo code, Serpent. The various candidate reflector materials, including Al2O3, BeO, MgO, PbO, SiO2, and ZrO2 are calculated from the neutronics characteristics to determine a good neutron reflector. In this work, we have investigated the parameters of neutronics characteristics, such as core neutron flux spectrum, evolution of keff due to burn-up, power distribution, and lead coolant void reactivity with each reflector. From the comparison of those parameters, MgO material was found to be a good candidate for the relector of LOTUS reactor.","PeriodicalId":303178,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Mathematics - Physics","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128386393","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 numerical result for the GaAs/AlAs cylindrical semiconductor quantum wire showed the presence of the resonant absorption peaks. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) decreased with increasing the wire radius and increases with increasing temperature. In particular, in the limit of large wire radius, the contribution of transitions between electronic subbands to the absorption spectrum becomes identical, t meaning that the system tends to behave as a bulk (there-dimensional) system when the confinement length is large. The obtained results are of significance for further studies and applications of the low dimensional systems in nano-optoelectronic devices.","PeriodicalId":303178,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Mathematics - Physics","volume":"423 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116169772","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 dispersion of the square lattice fibers is a flatter and smaller value at the pump wavelength than the circular lattice fibers. Square lattice fibers with Ʌ = 0.9 µm, d1/Ʌ = 0.4 and Ʌ = 1.0 µm, d1/Ʌ = 0.45 are proposed for supercontinuum generation which has anomalous and all-normal dispersion, respectively.

By using our recently developed α optical model potential (α-OMP), the (α, γ) cross sections were calculated within six models of radiative strength functions (RSF) which consisted of the microscopic HFB-QRPA model based on the BSk-14 Skyrme force, the HF-BCS theory using Skyrme parameters, the EGLO model, SMLO model, the empirical SMLO (SMLOg) and global semi-microscopic (D1M-QRPAg) models. The numerical results is then compared to the measured data of (α, γ) cross sections. For the considered (α, γ) reactions, the EGLO, SMLO, and HFB results are typically greater than the measured data. In addition, the comparison has indicated that the RSF models of SMLOg and D1M-QRPAg best fit the measured data with rms smaller than 0.2 within our proposed α-OMP. Therefore, for the (α, γ) reactions on the selected targets, RSF models of SMLOg and D1M-QRPAg are strongly recommended. The results are significant for a further systematic examination to evaluate which RSF model is most appropriate for studying (α, γ) reactions on p-nuclei in general.
