In 1940s M.G. Mayer discovered that the number of protons and neutrons is 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and 126 and soon. These kinds of nuclides are stable in a special way. This characteristic is called “the magic number” law. The existence of “the magic number” indicates that the nuclide is characteristic of a shell structure. Afterwards, M.G. Mayer and J.H.D Jensen proposed, with the nuclide indepen...

This study focused on the fabrication, characterization, and release properties of electrospun tea polyphenol (TPP) loaded porous core-shell structured fibers. The morphology, structure and properties of the electrospun TPP loaded porous core-shell fibers were investigated by a combination of Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle ...

Coherent X-ray diffraction imaging at symmetric hhh Bragg reflections was used to resolve the structure of GaAs/In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs core-shell-shell nanowires grown on a silicon (111) substrate. Diffraction amplitudes in the vicinity of GaAs 111 and GaAs 333 reflections were used to reconstruct the lost phase information. It is demonstrated that the structure of the core-shell-shell nanowire ca...

We calculate the unpolarised deep inelastic structure function of a relativistic deuteron within a covariant framework. An exact treatment of nucleon off-shell effects is shown to give corrections to the widely-used convolution model, even in impulse approximation. Neglecting off-shell effects in the extraction of the neutron structure function from deuterium data introduces errors of order 1 −...

The remarkable regularity of rotational spectra of superdeformed nuclei has prompted many investigations into the contribution of higher multipoles on the formation of shell structure [1]. Related questions have arisen for other mesoscopic systems. In particular, it appears that octupole deformation has the same importance for two-dimensional systems like quantum dots and surface clusters [2] a...

We address consequences of strong tensor and weak spin-orbit terms in the local energy density functional, resulting from fits to the f5/2 − f7/2 splittings in Ca, Ca, and Ni. In this study, we focus on nuclear binding energies. In particular, we show that the tensor contribution to the binding energies exhibits interesting topological features closely resembling that of the shell-correction. W...

SM1. Introduction. This supplement contains details that were omitted from the main paper [SM2] because of page limitations. SM2. The Model for the Shell Structure Acoustic Interaction. To avoid switching between the main paper and this supplement, we have included the entire expanded version of Section 2, not only the details and proofs missing from Section 2 of the main paper. SM2.1. Naghdi S...

Ground state properties of the superheavy elements (SHE) with 108≤Z≤128 and 150≤N≤192 are investigated using both the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method with a density-independent contact pairing interaction and the macroscopic-microscopic approach with an average Woods-Saxon potential and a monopole pairing interaction. Detailed analysis of binding energies, separation energies, shell effects, single ...

Here we report a biomimetic method to synthesize core-shell CdSe/ZnS semiconductor nanocrystals using a bi-functional peptide; the resulting nanocrystals had a defect free crystallinity and a clearly observed core-shell structure; the results are significant as this is the first report of core-shell semiconductor nanocrystal synthesis using a peptide template.
