The aim of this work is to increase the magnitude of the fast neutron flux inside the flux trap where radionuclides are produced. For this purpose, three new designs of the flux trap are proposed and the obtained fast and thermal neutron fluxes compared with each other. The first and second proposed designs were a sealed cube contained air and DO, respectively. The results of calculated production yield all indicated the superiority of the latter by a factor of 55% in comparison to the first proposed design. The third proposed design was based on changing the surrounding of the sealed cube by locating two fuel plates near that. In this case, the production yield increased up to 70%.

Microplastic (MP) pollution has reached the remotest areas of the globe, including the polar regions. In the Arctic Ocean, MPs have been detected in ice, snow, water, sediment, and biota, but their temporal dynamics remain poorly understood. To better understand the transport pathways and drivers of MP pollution in this fragile environment, this study aims to assess MPs (≥ 11 μm) in sediment trap samples collected at the HAUSGARTEN observatory (Fram Strait) from September 2019 to July 2021.

A series of Tb, Pr and Dy monodoped CaTaO(CTO) persistent luminescence (PersL) phosphors have been successfully synthesized using the molten salt method with KCl flux. The PersL color is green and orange for Tb and Pr or Dy doped samples, respectively. The trap depth of Tb, Pr and Dy monodoped CTO is 0.

We generate an atomic beam of titanium (Ti) using a "Ti-ball" Ti-sublimation pump, which is a common getter pump used in ultrahigh vacuum systems. We show that the sublimated atomic beam can be optically pumped into the metastable 3d3(4F)4s a5F5 state, which is the lower energy level in a cycling optical transition that can be used for laser cooling. We measure the atomic density and transverse and longitudinal velocity distributions of the beam through laser fluorescence spectroscopy.

Article Synopsis
- Studying the impacts of climate change on oceanic carbon cycling is crucial for improving carbon sequestration efforts, particularly in the Ulleung Basin.
- From 2011 to 2017, research showed that particulate organic carbon (POC) flux increased significantly during the El Niño years, with rises of 37%, 56%, and 43%.
- Analysis of water current data indicated that current variability plays a key role in enhancing particle transport, influencing the increased flux of sinking particles during the El Niño phase.

The lack of dense random-access memory is one of the main obstacles to the development of digital superconducting computers. It has been suggested that AVRAM cells, based on the storage of a single Abrikosov vortex-the smallest quantized object in superconductors-can enable drastic miniaturization to the nanometer scale. In this work, we present the numerical modeling of such cells using time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations.
