The latest generation gamma-ray detection system, GAMMASPHERE, coupled with the Microball charged-particle detector, has made possible a new class of nuclear lifetime measurement. For the first time differential lifetime measurements free from common systematic errors for over 15 different nuclei ( >30 rotational bands in various isotopes of Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, and Sm) have been extracted at high spin within a single experiment. This comprehensive study establishes the effective single-particle transition quadrupole moments in the A approximately 135 light rare-earth region. Detailed comparisons are made with theoretical calculations using the self-consistent cranked mean-field theory which convincingly demonstrates the validity of the additivity of single-particle quadrupole moments in this mass region.

The prospect of constructing global electric quadrupole moment functions (EQMFs) of diatomic molecules by morphing their theoretical approximants within the framework of the reduced radial curve (RRC) approach is explored by performing model calculations for the ground electronic states of H and HF. The reduced quadrupole moment curves probed, constructed for a set of differently accurate theoretical EQMFs, coincide with their best many-parameter analytic counterparts so closely that they can be used as their accurate few-parameter representations. No other such functional representation is available in the literature.

- The study introduces a new metastructure made of silicon nanoblock tetramer clusters aimed at enhancing surface sensing capabilities by utilizing polarization-independent properties through bound states in the continuum (BICs).
- Three quasi-BIC modes were identified at specific wavelengths, achieving high sensitivity and quality factors, confirming the effectiveness of the design for precision sensing applications.
- The research utilized advanced simulation methods to explore electromagnetic field behaviors and demonstrated the system's robustness and performance through experimental verification involving varying concentrations of CaCl solutions.
In this paper, we study the optical properties of a planar array consisting of nanodisks using the coupled multipole model (CMM). As we demonstrate, this model shows its advantages in uncovering the complex inter-particle mutual interaction mechanisms, which are usually obscured by direct numerical simulations. We first propose a method to compute the polarizabilities of the individual non-spherical particles up to the magnetic quadrupole.

The quadrupole moment of a non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) generated by the constituent electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) units is a significant factor that affects the charge separation (CS) and charge recombination (CR) processes in organic photovoltaics (OPVs). However, its impact on p-type polymer domains remains unclear. In this study, we synthesized p-type molecules, namely acceptor-donor-acceptor (ADA) and donor-acceptor-donor (DAD), which are components of the benchmark PM6 polymer (D: benzodithiophene and A: dioxobenzodithiophene).
