Gallium-67 is a cyclotron produced radionuclide and ⁶⁷Ga-citrate complex scans are performed in a variety of applications in Nuclear Medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new method for the chemical separation of ⁶⁷Ga from Zn targets. The method has 2 steps, first the thermal diffusion of ⁶⁷Ga with concentrated acetic acid and then purification by cation exchange in ammonium medium. The final ⁶⁷Ga solution was obtained in 0.1 mol L⁻¹ HCl with the desirable high purity.

investigations on hydrodynamic phonon transport: From diffusion to convection.

In classical theory, heat conduction in solids is regarded as a diffusion process driven by a temperature gradient, whereas fluid transport is understood as convection process involving the bulk motion of the liquid or gas. In the framework of theory, which is directly built upon quantum mechanics without relying on measured parameters or phenomenological models, we observed and investigated the fluid-like convective transport of energy carriers in solid heat conduction. Thermal transport, carried by phonons, is simulated in graphite by solving the Boltzmann transport equation using a Monte Carlo algorithm.

Thermally Stable Anthracene-Based 2D/3D Heterostructures for Perovskite Solar Cells.

Bulky organic cations are used in perovskite solar cells as a protective barrier against moisture, oxygen, and ion diffusion. However, bulky cations can introduce thermal instabilities by reacting with the near-surface of the 3D perovskite forming low-dimensional phases, including 2D perovskites, and by diffusing away from the surface into the film. This study explores the thermal stability of CsFAPbI 3D perovskite surfaces treated with two anthracene salts─anthracen-1-ylmethylammonium iodide (AMAI) and 2-(anthracen-1-yl)ethylammonium iodide (AEAI)─and compares them with the widely used phenethylammonium iodide (PEAI).

Microscopic mapping of infrared modulated photoluminescence spectra with a spatial resolution of ∼2 μm.

State Key Laboratory of Infrared Physics, Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 200083 Shanghai, China.

Infrared photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with micron-scale spatial resolution is essential for the optoelectronic characterization of narrow-gap microstructures and single defects, yet it poses significant challenges due to the exceedingly weak PL signal and strong background thermal emission. This work introduces an infrared micro-PL (μPL) mapping system that achieves a spatial resolution of ∼2 μm, leveraging the inherent advantages of the step-scan Fourier transform infrared spectrometer-based modulated PL technique in the mid- and far-infrared regions. The configuration of the experimental system is described, and a theoretical upper limit of spatial resolution is derived to be about 1.

Laser-induced graphene (LIG) has gained significant attention, with over 170 publications in 2023 alone. This surge in popularity is due to the unique advantages LIG offers over traditional thermal methods, such as fast, solvent-free, scalable production and its ability to scribe intricate patterns on various substrates, including heat-sensitive materials like plastics. In recent developments, metal-embedded LIG (M-LIG) has expanded the potential applications of LIG, particularly in energy storage, microelectronics, and sensing.
