Abstract A chiral meta‐optics platform that incorporates hologram‐multiplexing with low phase distortion and wide‐incident angle tolerance over the broad spectral range of ultraviolet‐visible (UV–vis) regimes holds great potential for photonic‐encryption‐based applications, particularly in next‐generation 3D displays, high‐resolution biomedical imaging, holographic anti‐counterfeiting labeling, multi‐channel optical communication. However, design incorporating giant chirality from UV–vis...
Abstract The FAMU experiment aims to measure for the first time hyperfine splitting of muonic hydrogen ground state. From this measurement proton Zemach radius can be derived and will shed light on determination charge radius. In paper, we describe scientific goal, method detailed preparatory work. This includes outcome preliminary measurements, subsequent refined simulations evaluation expected results. experimental setup being built performed at RAL laboratory muon facility is also described.
In this study the adsorption and photodegradation capabilities of modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), using tartrazine as a model pollutant, is demonstrated. MWCNT-COOH/Fe3O4 MWCNT-COOH/Fe3O4/NiO nanocomposites were prepared by precipitation metal oxides in presence MWCNTs. Their properties examined X-ray diffraction powder (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, synchrotron-based...
Structured beams carrying orbital angular momentum carry significant potential for various applications, including optical trapping, manipulations, communications, microscopy, and so on. Among these, perfect vortex (PV) are highly attractive due to their immunity topological charge variations nondiffracting properties. However, conventional PV beam generation methods typically operate at a single wavelength rely on bulky components, complicating photonic device integration. To address this,...

The use collimated probe beam in presence focused excitation optimizes experiment. signal becomes independent from Rayleigh waist positions beams. apply this method to determine absolute value diffusivity distilled water 533 nm.
In this study we investigated the population genetic structure of queenless ant Diacamma cyaneiventre. This species, lacking winged queens, is likely to have a restricted female dispersal. We used both mitochondrial and microsatellite markers assess consequence such dispersal at three geographical scales: within given locality (< 1 km), between localities region 10 km) regions (> 36 km). Within locality, strong was observed for DNA (mtDNA) whereas weak or nonexistent microsatellites (around...

This paper unwraps nanofluids' particle dynamics with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in base fluids such as acetone, water, and ethylene glycol. Having confirmed the morphology structure of MWCNTs by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopic analyses, nanofluids are prepared three different concentrations. The nonzero absorbance at laser wavelength, revealed through UV–visible spectrum, makes thermal diffusivity study sample sensitive...
