Nanocomposites were fabricated using a sol-gel method and exposed to varying gamma radiation doses. Characterization techniques, including XRD, EDX, FTIR, EPR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and EELS, were employed to elucidate the effects of irradiation. Gamma irradiation induced significant structural modifications, such as a reduction in crystallite size (from 15 nm to 8 nm at 150 kGy) and lattice strain. The PLA matrix underwent chain scission and crosslinking, altering the material's properties. The optical bandgap narrowed from 3.2 eV to 2.8 eV at 100 kGy, leading to increased light absorption and changes in refractive index and extinction coefficient. The tunable light response, evidenced by changes in optical conductivity and electron energy loss, offers potential applications in optoelectronic devices. Gamma irradiation emerges as a versatile tool for tailoring the properties of PLA/MnFe₂O₃/ZnO nanocomposite films. The findings pave the way for the development of novel nanocomposite-based materials with tailored optical, electronic, and magnetic properties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37875,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Physics","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100098"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143141192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Being one of the key characteristics of non-Hermitian physics, the realization of NHSE could pave the road to future applications. In this work, in analogy to the Hatano-Nelson (HN) model, we successfully construct a feasible design of photonic NHSE by using the topological ring cavities composed of photonic crystals with distinct topological properties, where the topological interface states replace the bulk states in HN model. By introducing material loss into the linkers, we propose a feasible way to tune the non-reciprocal coupling between topological ring cavities as well as the corresponding NHSE. The localization of topological interface states can be influenced by NHSE whose localization strength can be manipulated with the difference of material losses introduced. Owing to its topology nature, we verify the robustness of the proposed structure against local defects. Our proposal can also be extended to two-dimensional (2D) NHSE and higher-ordered NHSE, where we believe it will be an ideal platform to study non-Hermitian physics and intriguing applications in topological photonics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37875,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Physics","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100102"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find the controlled quasi-periodic synchronization regions. When dynamic chaos control of the network is achieved by shifting the external light injection, the network obtains quasi-periodic parallel synchronization in two chains. We provide a bifurcation diagram of the closed network, a bifurcation diagram of the open network, and a bifurcation diagram varying with the external light injection, displaying routes to chaos after passing double-periodic bifurcation through four-period or quasi-period. We find that there are clear, different routes to chaos operated in the closed network and the open network and that external light injection can guide a route away from chaos, while chaos control is achieved in the open network. The results have important reference value for the study of the control and synchronization of optical networks, laser technology, complex systems, and chaos.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37875,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Physics","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143350845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, an overview of biological analysis and biological geometries that have been developed are discussed, highlighting the latest developments and future possible development avenues for GEANT4-DNA for this application. An overview of the biological organisation levels, namely DNA, cellular, and population levels, and how GEANT4-DNA models the physical, chemical, and biological processes are also described. This review emphasises the need for persistent development of specific biological geometry accompanied by personalised DNA damage analysis parameters dependent on the biological processes considered within a specific model. It also provides an in-depth understanding of the advances at all the biological organisation levels (DNA, cellular, and population) and the use of co-operative platforms developed to model alongside GEANT4 to provide further detailed geometries and or biological damage analysis. The developments presented have been analytically discussed along with their key findings and prospects for GEANT4-DNA. Finally, a perspective on future necessary developments is portrayed since many of the advancements in the biological analysis and biological geometries discussed have not been exploited to their full potential. The development of GEANT4-DNA, using the advances discussed in this review, provides a favourable method for the evaluation of biological damage comparable to radiobiological studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37875,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Physics","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143463452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
