Functional characterization of orexin system by Chua, Peiling

“…Orexin, which has been known to be involved in feeding and sleep-wake cycle, might have antidepressant-like effects. Researches indicate that depression might be associated with nucleus accumbens and its dopaminergic inputs from ventral tegmental area, which make up the mesolimbic dopamine system. …”

Advanced nanostructured materials : wide-band-gap oxides based magnetic semiconductors by Xing, Guozhong

“…Semiconductor spintronics has already become a major research area. Spintronics is very likely to have a significant impact on future generations of devices.Operation of spintronic devices could consume much less energy because aligning spins is more efficient than redistributing charges. …”

Pulsed-laser-ablated gold-nanoparticles saturable absorber for mode-locked erbium-doped fiber lasers by Noor Zirwatul Ahlam, Naharuddin, M. H., Abu Bakar, Sadrolhosseini, Amir Reza, N., Tamchek, Alresheedi, Mohammed Thamer, Abas, A. F., Mohd Adzir, Mahdi

“…The resulting nanocomposite was deposited on the tapered region of a microfiber with a spin-coating method. The proposed Au-NPs SA recorded a modulation depth of 0.4% and low saturation intensity of 0.1 MW/cm2 leading to stable mode-locking operation in the erbium-doped fiber laser cavity at a low threshold pump power of about 45.6 mW. …”

Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”

Quantum tunneling of magnetization in ultrasmall half-metallic V3O4 quantum dots : displaying quantum superparamagnetic state by Xiao, Chong, Zhang, Jiajia, Xu, Jie, Tong, Wei, Cao, Boxiao, Li, Kun, Pan, Bicai, Su, Haibin, Xie, Yi

“…The quantum superparamagnetic state (QSP) as a high temperature signature of QTMs is observed at 16 K, which is beyond absolute zero temperature and much higher than that of conventional iron-based compounds due to the stronger spin-orbital coupling of V3+ ions bringing high anisotropy energy. …”
