The results of the study on the GS, β, and γ bands suggest that IBM-1, SEF, NEE, and existing empirical evidence show some agreement, albeit with some discrepancies. The NEE results for GS, β, and γ bands are more reliable with empirical data than the estimates derived from the IBM-1 and SEF models. The reduced transition probabilities B(E2) of the IBM-1 model correspond well to the experimental data. In the GSB, the energies of the 6+, 8+, and 10+ states are not precisely modeled in the IBM-1 model. The R4/2 values of low-lying energy levels of Os isotopes fluctuate gradually with increasing neutron numbers. The EPS counter indicates that the transition limit of the 170-180Os isotopes has a rotational–vibrational γ-soft transition.","PeriodicalId":512999,"journal":{"name":"MOMENTO","volume":"196 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140514523","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}

This work focuses on the effects of perpendicular uniaxial anisotropy, dimensions of permalloy nanodisks, and magnetostatic interactions on the annihilation and nucleation fields of magnetic vortices by means of micromagnetic simulations. Nanodisks with different diameters were evaluated, considering the effect of anisotropy generated by a platinum substrate for isolated nanodisks of 20 nm thickness. The effect of magnetostatic interactions for different arrays of identical nanodisks and a 10 x 10 array with random diameters from a normal distribution was also evaluated. The results show that the annihilation and nucleation fields are influenced by the perpendicular uniaxial anisotropy. The higher the anisotropy, the more the annihilation field decreases, and the nucleation field increases, thus favoring the monodomain magnetic configuration. It was also shown that the magnetic interaction between the nanodisks and the lattice geometry led to a variation of the annihilation and nucleation fields. The magnetostatic interaction in the lattice leads to a collective rotation of the magnetic moments, so that the closing of the magnetic flux occurs randomly in a series of nanodisks minimizing the energy.","PeriodicalId":512999,"journal":{"name":"MOMENTO","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140514858","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}

Starting from a detailed description of the semi-classical theoretical framework behind this nuclear reaction, quantities such as the cross section of compound nucleus formation and various evaporation residues after its formation, as well as their cross sections (proportional to the events number), were estimated by means of a Python code. The code splits the compound nucleus formation process and its subsequent decay into several residual nuclei, which occurs as a sequential particle emission. In order to prioritize a first approximation theory, different nuclear models, with semi-classical and statistical origin, related to projectile-target fusion, light particle evaporation (n, p, α) and fission, were described in detail.\u0000The values obtained with the computational routine developed were compared with experimental values and results from the PACE code. Cross sections were calculated for about 90 proposed reactions that produce residues with excess protons. In general, the results obtained show significant discrepancies, especially in heavy nuclei reactions, although some agreements are found even taking into account the limitations of the code. The main reason for this discrepancy may be associated with the lack or overestimation of some channels which may affect the proportion of events. This motivates a more sophisticated analysis in the future that could allow a wider range of channels.","PeriodicalId":512999,"journal":{"name":"MOMENTO","volume":"110 1-3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140515213","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}

Investigations were made on the morphological, optical, and electrical characteristics. According to the X-ray diffraction pattern, CdS nanoparticles have a cubic phase structure and diffraction peaks at 26.3◦, 43.8◦, and 51.8◦. UV-visible optical studies were used to characterize the absorbance of CdS, CuAlO2, and CdS/CuAlO2/ITO with redshift around 400 nm for the nanoparticles. Using the Tauc plot, the band gap energy of the prepared heterostructure showed a value of 3.1eV. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) images show homogeneous morphology with little agglomeration. I-V characterization reveals good properties with high forward current power.
