Spin of light provides a route to control photons. Spin-based optical devices which can manipulate photons with different spin states are imperative. Here we experimentally demonstrated a spin-selected metasurface lens based on the spin-orbit interaction originated from the Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase. The optimized…

The identity and nomenclatural history of several small-celled naviculoid taxa are revisited. The species discussed here are important from the ecological point of view since they are often dominant in benthic freshwater communities. The original concepts of several species that have suffered major taxonomic drift due…

The reaction of a Schiff base ligand (LH3) with lanthanide salts, pivalic acid and triethylamine in 1:1:1:3 and 4:5:8:20 stoichiometric ratios results in the formation of decanuclear Ln10 (Ln = Dy (1), Tb (2), and Gd (3)) and pentanuclear Ln5 complexes (Ln = Gd (4), Tb (5), and Dy (6)), respectively. The formation of…

In our study, we aimed to develop a codelivery nanoparticulate system of pirarubicin (THP) and paclitaxel (PTX) (Co-AN) using human serum albumin to improve the therapeutic effect and reduce systemic toxicities. The prepared Co-AN demonstrated a narrow size distribution around 156.9 ± 3.2 nm (PDI = 0.16 ± 0.02) and hi…

Thin porous materials that can spontaneously transport oil fluids just in a single direction have great potential for making energy-saving functional membranes. However, there is little data for the preparation and functionalities of this smart material. Here, we report a novel method to prepare one-way oil-transport…

Phase transitions in the Hubbard model and ionic Hubbard model at half-filling on the honeycomb lattice are investigated in the strong coupling perturbation theory which corresponds to an expansion in powers of the hopping $t$ around the atomic limit. Within this formulation we find analytic expressions for the single…

Hexagonal-to-orthorhombic structural transitions in RAl$_3$C$_3$ have been studied by X-ray diffraction for R=Yb, Tm, Er, Dy, and Lu. We report how orthorhombic domains are controlled by adjusting external magnetic fields. It is shown that orthorhombic domains in RAl$_3$C$_3$ can be aligned by the field when the R ion…

We investigate how hybridization (single-quasiparticle scattering) between two superconducting bands induces odd-frequency superconductivity in a multiband superconductor. An explicit derivation of the odd-frequency pairing correlation and its full frequency dependence is given. We also find that the density of states…
