Based on the Monte-Carlo simulation, magnetic dynamic properties of magnetic clusters and quasi two-dimensional quantum dots with hexagonal lattice arrays have been calculated. It has been found that the saturation fields for the cluster and quantum dot increase with increasing dipolar interaction. However, hysteresis loops of the quantum dots are different from those in clusters. Hysteresis behavior of quantum dot array is associated closely with the radius of quantum dot and the distance between quantum dots. The calculated results are consistent with experimental results. Finally, the step effect of hysteresis loops has been explained by the competition roles among the configurational anisotropy energy, Zeeman energy and thermal energy.

Violet phosphorus (VP) is a phosphorus allotrope first discovered by Hittorf in 1865, which has aroused more attention in the biomedical field in recent years attributed to its gradually discovered unique properties. VP can be further categorized into bulk VP, VP nanosheets (VPNs), and VP quantum dots (VPQDs), and chemical vapor transport (CVT), liquid-phase/mechanical/laser exfoliation, and solvothermal synthesis are the common preparation approaches of bulk VP, VPNs, and VPQDs, respectively. Compared with another phosphorus allotrope (black phosphorus, BP) that is once highly regarded in biomedical applications, VP nanomaterial (namely VPNs and VPQDs) not only exhibits tunable bandgap, moderate on/off current ratio, and good biodegradability, but shows enhanced stability and biosafety as well, allowing it to be a promising candidate for a variety of biomedical applications like antibacterial therapy, anticancer therapy, and biosensing and disease diagnosis.

Breast cancer remains the second most prevalent cancer among women in the United States. Despite advancements in surgical, radiological, and chemotherapeutic techniques, multidrug resistance continues to pose significant challenges in effective treatment. Combination chemotherapy has emerged as a promising approach to address these limitations, allowing multiple drugs to target malignancies via distinct mechanisms of action.

To realize the optical transfer of electron spin information, developing a semiconductor layer for efficient transport of spin-polarized electrons to the active layers is necessary. In this study, electron spin transport from a GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice (SL) barrier to InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) is investigated at room temperature through a combination of time-resolved photoluminescence and rate equation analysis, separating the two transport processes from the GaAs layer around the QDs and SL barrier. The electron transport time in the SL increases for a thicker quantum well (QW) of SL due to the weaker wavefunction overlap between adjacent QWs.

Herein, highly fluorescent sulfur and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (N, S-CDs) had been employed as a fluorescent probe to analyze Cu in drinking water. The biogenic creatinine is known to form a stable complex with Cu; hence, it was rationally selected as a bioinspired nitrogen substrate for the first time to enhance N, S-CDs selectivity towards Cu. Moreover, the literature was surveyed to guide the selection of sulfur and carbon sources to optimize N, S-CDs quantum yield (QY), so thiourea and disodium edetate are co-carbonized with biogenic creatinine at 270°C for 40 min and characterized using different techniques.

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is dangerous and can cause serious skin diseases if skin is excessively exposed to it. Thus, it is highly desirable for human health to monitor the UV radiation intensity. In this report, a flexible and stretchable dual-response UV radiation detector is reported by integrating UV-responsive color-switchable WO quantum dots (QDs) with an electrical hydrogel.
