Plasmonic sensors exhibit high sensitivity due to enhanced local fields. But, their detectivity is poor because of their poor Q-factors. Using a plasmonic BIC, we experimentally demonstrate enhanced Q-factors in a pla...

Controlling zero-bias anomalies in magnetic atoms provides a promising strategy to engineer tunable quantum many-body excitations. Here we show how two different quantum impurities featuring spinaron and Kondo excitations can be controlled via quantum confinement engineering by using circular quantum corrals on a Ag(111) surface. In corrals built from both Ag and Co adatoms, the width of the zero-bias anomaly in the central Co adatom oscillates as a function of corral radius with a period of half of the Ag(111) surface state wavelength. Parameters extracted for Co/Ag(111) show only small differences in the extracted spinaron zero-bias anomaly between corral walls built from Ag or Co adatoms. In quantum corrals occupied by metal-free phthalocyanine, a S=1/2 Kondo system, we observe notable changes in the zero-bias anomaly line shape as a function of corral radius. Our results offer insight into many-body Kondo and spinaron resonances in which the electronic density is controlled by confinement engineering.

Hydrogen peroxide ($H_{2}O_{2}$) is an oxidant widely used in industrial and biomedical applications that requires a sensitive and selective quantification method. Despite being one of the most used methods for detecting this oxidant, enzyme-based reactions still exhibit low-cost efficiency and pose high environmental hazards. Optical biosensors have emerged as an attractive alternative, offering potential advantages such as rapid response time and ease of operation. Carbon dots (CDs) are a type of carbon-based nanoparticles that are particularly appealing for this purpose because of their low-cost synthesis procedures and favorable chemical and optical properties. In this study, fluorescent CDs were synthesized via a microwave-assisted method using urea, L-histidine, and citric acid as precursors. The optical properties of the CDs were characterized using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The CDs exhibited a fluorescence sensing range between 1 mM to 50 mM, with a limit detection (LOD) for $H_{2}O_{2}$ of 0.1 mM. The selectivity of the CDs was tested in the presence of various interferents, and the results confirmed their potential for further applications, particularly in metabolite quantification and biological processes. Overall, the low-cost synthesis procedure and favorable properties of the CDs make them a promising candidate for $H_{2}O_{2}$ detection and other biosensing applications.

Neutrinos are known to undergo flavor conversion among their three flavors. In the theoretical modeling of core-collapse supernova, there has been a great deal of attention to recent discoveries of a new type of neutrino flavor conversions, namely collisional flavor instability (CFI), in which the instability is induced by the flavor-dependent decoherence due to the disparity of neutrino-matter interactions among flavors. In this paper, we study how the appearance of on-shell muons and associated neutrino-matter interactions can impact CFIs based on linear stability analysis of flavor conversions. Some striking results emerge from the present study. First, we analytically show that breaking beta and pair equilibrium is a necessary condition to trigger CFIs. This also indicates that CFIs with on-shell muons could appear in eτ and μτ neutrino mixing sectors in very high-density region (≳1013 g/cm3), exhibiting a possibility of large impacts of CFIs on core-collapse supernova. Second, resonancelike CFIs, having a much higher growth rate than normal CFIs, can be triggered by muons. The resonance point of CFIs is different between eτ and μτ sectors; the former (latter) occurs at μe(μ)=μn−μp, where μi denotes the chemical potential of i constitute (n and p represent neutrons and protons, respectively). Our result suggests that the nonlinear evolution of CFI with on-shell muons would induce flavor conversions with the complex interplay among all three different neutrino-mixing sectors.
