The effect of Cu impurities on the absorption cross section, the rate of hot exction thermalization, and on exciton recombination processes in InAs quantum dots was studied by femtosecond transient absorption. Our findings reveal dynamic spectral effects of an emergent impurity sub-band near the bottom of the conduction band. Previously hypothesized to explain static photophysical properties of this system, its presence is shown to shorten hot carrier relaxation. Partial redistribution of interband oscillator strength to sub-band levels reduces the band edge bleach per exciton progressively with the degree of doping, even though the total linear absorption cross section at the band edge remains unchanged. In contrast, no doping effects were detected on absorption cross sections high in the conduction band, as expected due to the relatively high density of sates of the undoped QDs.

Immobilizing organic chromophores within the rigid framework of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) augments fluorescence by effectively curtailing molecular motions. Yet, the substantial interspaces and free volumes inherent to MOFs can undermine photoluminescence efficiency, as they partially constrain intramolecular dynamics. In this study, we achieved optimization of both one- and two-photon excited fluorescence by incorporating linkers into an interpenetrated tetraphenylethene-based MOF (TPE-MOF).

The line list is essential for accurately modeling various astrophysical phenomena, such as stellar photospheres and atmospheres of extrasolar planets. This paper introduces a new line database for the PS molecule spanning from the ultraviolet to the infrared regions, covering wavenumbers up to 45000 cm and containing over ten million transitions between 150,458 states with total angular momentum J < 160. Accurate line intensities for rotational, vibrational and electronic transitions are generated by using the general purpose variational code DUO.

Enhance registration precision of transmission breast images utilizing improved Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm with normalized cross-correlation.

Transmission imaging may become a possible advance for breast cancer screening with non-invasive, cost-effective, and radiation-free approaches for early detection. Frame accumulation can successfully eliminate the issue of low SNR, low grayscale and poor quality in transmission image. However, frame accumulation accuracy can be diminished because of inherent human body instability during image acquisition and the light absorption characteristics of breast tissue, resulting in distorted and misplaced image sequences.

Modern radiotherapy frequently employs radiosensitizers for radiation dose deposition and triggers an immunomodulatory effect to enhance tumor destruction. However, developing glioma-targeted sensitizers remains challenging due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and multicomponent instability. This study aims to green-synthesize transferrin-bismuth nanoparticles (TBNPs) as biosafe radiosensitizers to enhance X-ray absorption by tumors and stimulate the immune response for glioma therapy.
