Neutron-induced reaction cross section measurements on carbon at neutron energies up to 55 MeV at LANSCE
Background: Single-crystal chemical vapor deposited (sCVD) diamond detectors offer a unique method to study cross sections of reactions on carbon since they can be used as active targets. Previous studies analyzing neutrons on carbon using these detectors were primarily focused on lower energy neutrons and reactions, and some of these did not have sufficient energy resolution to isolate the contributions of reaction channels with similar Q values. Purpose: This work extends neutron-induced re…

Unlocking the hybrid piezo and pyroelectric nanogenerators performance by SiO2 nanowires confinement in poly(vinylidene fluoride)
We report on the development of a novel flexible piezo/pyro-electric nanogenerator (PPNG) that combines a uniform film of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) infiltrated over vertically supported SiO2 nanowires (NWs) to enhance both piezoelectric and pyroelectric energy harvesting capabilities. The synthetic procedure involves a low-temperature multi-step approach, including the soft-template formation of SiO2 NWs on a flexible substrate, followed by the infiltration of a PVDF thin film (TF). The …

Reliable Noninvasive Glucose Sensing via CNN-Based Spectroscopy
In this study, we present a dual-modal AI framework based on short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy. The first modality employs a multi-wavelength SWIR imaging system coupled with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to capture spatial features linked to glucose absorption. The second modality uses a compact photodiode voltage sensor and machine learning regressors (e.g., random forest) on normalized optical signals. Both approaches were evaluated on synthetic blood phantoms and skin-mimicking…

Numerical study of the radiation-matter interaction quantum systems through the time-dependent Schrödinger dynamics
Obtaining exact solutions to the Schrödinger equation in complex quantum systems poses significant challenges. In this context, numerical methods emerge as valuable tools for analyzing such systems. This article proposes a numerical approach using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, implemented in Python, to tackle radiation-matter interaction systems. This methodology is applicable to various Hamiltonians, including that of the Jaynes-Cummings model. The accuracy of the numerical results is …
