We have measured the ion yields for helium ionized by 120 fs, 614 nm laser pulses intensities near ${10}^{16}$ W/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$. found that these ultrashort ${\mathrm{He}}^{+2}$ data exhibit a feature which saturates in parallel with ${\mathrm{He}}^{+}$ signal indicating ionization may proceed nonsequentially. propose new mechanism, can exist only tunneling regime, such nonsequential ionization.
Abstract Obtaining a burning plasma is critical step towards self-sustaining fusion energy 1 . A one in which the reactions themselves are primary source of heating plasma, necessary to sustain and propagate burn, enabling high gain. After decades research, here we achieve burning-plasma state laboratory. These experiments were conducted at US National Ignition Facility, laser facility delivering up 1.9 megajoules pulses with peak powers 500 terawatts. We use lasers generate X-rays radiation...
In this paper, a kind of core–shell composite microsphere was prepared based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (P(NIPAM-co-MAA)) coated magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (M-MSN) via precipitation polymerization. The presented thermo/pH-coupling sensitivity and the volume phase transition could be precisely regulated by molar ratio MAA to NIPAM or concentration NaCl. At physiological conditions (37 °C, 0.15 M NaCl), P(NIPAM-co-MAA) shell underwent distinct from swollen...
Abstract In a burning plasma state 1–7 , alpha particles from deuterium–tritium fusion reactions redeposit their energy and are the dominant source of heating. This has recently been achieved at US National Ignition Facility 8 using indirect-drive inertial-confinement fusion. Our experiments use laser-generated radiation-filled cavity (a hohlraum) to spherically implode capsules containing deuterium tritium fuel in central hot spot where occur. We have developed more efficient hohlraums...
The design of bioresponsive controlled drug delivery systems is a promising approach in cancer therapy, but it still major challenge capable optimum therapeutic efficacy, i.e. no premature leakage blood circulation while having rapid and complete release tumor tissues. In this work, kind PEGylated core/shell structured composite nanoparticle was developed via precipitation polymerization, where disulfide-cross-linked poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-methacrylic acid) (P(VCL-s-s-MAA)) polymer shell...
Poly(vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL)-based biodegradable microgels were prepared for the biomedical application as drug delivery system via precipitation polymerization, where N,N-bis(acryloyl) cystamine (BAC) served cross-linker, methacrylic acid (MAA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) methyl ether methacrylate acted comonomers. The with excellent stability had distinct temperature sensitivity largely observed in case of PVCL-based particles their volume phase transition (VPTT) shifted to higher...
The modified sol–gel approach to the synthesis of well-structured magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (M-MSNs) was described, which comprised resided within nanoparticles. A diversity surface modification subjected systematic investigation using organic silanes, eventually resulting in decoration with carboxyl (–COOH), methyl phosphonate (–PO3−), amino (–NH2) and phenyl (–Ph) groups on M-MSNs. careful characterizations demonstrated that M-MSNs displayed specifically charged surfaces...
Recently, various second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorophores have been synthesized for in vivo imaging with nonradiation, high resolution, and low autofluorescence. However, most of the NIR-II fluorophores, especially inorganic nanoprobes, are mainly retained reticuloendothelial system (RES) such as liver spleen, leading to long-term safety concerns. Herein, a type lanthanide-based excretable nanoparticle, RENPs@Lips, which can be quickly cleared out body after...

We report on the polarization dependence of ionization helium and neon by 120-fs pulses at 614 nm. For linearly polarized data for ${\mathrm{He}}^{2+}$ ${\mathrm{Ne}}^{2+}$ show enhancements over sequential tunneling. circularly no distinct enhancements. Dynamic resonances, which produce similar in multiphoton regime, do not explain tunneling regime. Two direct-ionization models are considered: a shake-off model, semiclassical model rescattering an electron ion core. The exhibited yield...
By employing poly (tert-butylacrylate) (PTBA) nanospheres as the dissolvable core templates, we develop a new method to synthesize hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSN). Both PTBA and structure-directing surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), can be easily synchronously removed through solvent extraction in ethanol, which ensures complete structure ideal dispersibility of products compared with previous template synthesis that often needs calcination remove templates....
