Abstract Our theoretical study focused on the spin-dependent electron transport characteristics in GaAs/Ga0.7Al0.3As resonant tunnel barriers. This system exhibits spin-splitting, which is a consequence of the Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction. Calculation of the transmission coefficient and spin-polarization efficiency relies on the matrix method. The pressure influences the barrier transparency and degree of polarization. The maximum of 72% spin-polarization is achieved in this work at critical pressure. The role of the Γ–X band crossover is accounted for in this theory. The spin-polarization increases without the Γ–X band crossover and the same decreases with the Γ–X band crossover. At the critical pressure, the degree of spin polarization is high. Analysis of the electron dwell time reveals that spin-down electrons spend more time in the system than spin-up electrons. We also found that the dwell time reaches its maximum when the heterostructure is subjected to the critical pressure.

Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics Institute, 2026
Abstract The Co-doped ZnO and Co-doped ZnO/CQDs nanoparticles are prepared by the chemical method. The incorporation of CQDs reduces the crystallite size, whereas the bond length remains the same. The chemical composition and elemental mapping are reported. The bandgap of Co-doped ZnO is reduced by the addition of CQDs. The Carbon quantum dots-supported Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity against B. subtilis, E. coli, and K. pneumoniae. Both samples exhibited an increase in antioxidant activity with the increase in concentration and the IC50 value was found to be 56.57 and 67.3 μg/mL for Co-doped ZnO/CQDs and Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles, respectively. The concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability with the visible morphological deterioration indicating cell death was observed in lung adenocarcinoma cells when treated with Co-doped and Co-doped ZnO/CQD with the IC50 value of 58.833 and 55.046 µg/mL, respectively.

Herein, we synthesize Co-doped SnS nanoparticles (NPs) using a simple solvothermal method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra determine the orthorhombic structure of the Co-doped SnS NPs. The Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirm the rod-like structure of the Co-doped SnS NPs. The surface area of 31, 225, 256 and 383 (m 2 /g) of Co-doped SnS NPs determines their tendency for electrical and supercapacitive properties. The deconvolution curves show the binding energy peaks of Sn, S and Co, confirming the doping of Co ions in the lattice of SnS compound. The 20%Co:SnS electrode retains 94% of its capacitance with a coulombic efficiency of 78% even after 3000 cycles of GCD curves. The SnS XRD peaks observed even after the cyclic stability test of 20%Co:SnS electrode determine the stability of the electrodes. The conductivity values of the AN1, AN2, AN3 and AN4 cotton electrodes are 9.6 × 10 −08 , 3.5 × 10 −07 , 5.8 × 10 −07 and 1.2 × 10 −06 , providing their tendency for future material in dielectric and microelectronic device applications.

Abstract The current endeavor chronicles the synthesis of praseodymium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles via the chemical precipitation method. SEM analysis examines the doping concentration role on the morphology of the nanoparticles. UV-Vis measurements indicate the optical band gap of the material ranges from 3.22 to 3.12 eV. The hole concentration and electron concentration are examined as a function of doping concentration. Diverse models are employed to ascertain the refractive index of the prepared nanoparticles. We also report the antibacterial activity of the nanoparticles against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which cause septicemia. The prepared photocatalyst has excellent photocatalytic activity against methylene blue dye. The maximum degradation of 76% is observed and reported in this work when the doping concentration of Pr is 5%.

Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics Institute, 2025
Abstract The present work reported the preparation of Sm-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Sm) nanoparticles using a chemical precipitation method. Particle size, morphology, luminescence and optical properties are studied. The role of doping concentration on the antibacterial and photocatalytic properties is explored. The atomic doping concentration of Sm is chosen as 0, 1, 3, and 5%. The uniformity and grain sizes of the prepared nanoparticles are effectively controlled by doping. Violet, blue and greenish yellow emissions are observed in the photoluminescence spectrum. The band gap of the material ranges from 3.322 to 3.143 eV as the doping concentration of Sm changes from 0 to 5%. The electron and hole concentrations are examined. The prepared nanoparticles have a high refractive index and are examined using various models. Antibacterial studies against the bacteria that cause the disease septicemia have been reported. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is observed. A maximum of 94% of the degradation of methylene blue is obtained using ZnO:Sm (5%) nanoparticles.

Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics Institute, 2025
Abstract Vanadium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles are synthesized by the hydrothermal method with different doping concentrations. The main objective of the research is to analyze the role of doping concentration against septicemia and human colon cancer. The prepared nanoparticles are extensively characterized by the X-ray diffraction technique. The crystallite size, stain, lattice constants, and bond lengths are examined. The vanadium doping enhances the antibacterial activity against bacterial strains. The in vitro anticancer activity of the prepared nanoparticles is tested by MTT assay, EtBr and DAPI staining. The concentration-dependent enhancement in the antitumor activity is observed in human colon cancer cells by inducing apoptosis. The change in cell morphology and the induction of apoptosis is also observed in our study. This interesting finding will undoubtedly make substantial contributions to developing successful therapeutic agents for septicemia and colon cancer.
