Abstract

Predictions based on the Fusion by Diffusion model in a version adapted for calculating xn channels, with the ground-state masses, shell effects and barrier heights as given by Muntian, Patyk and Sobiczewski are presented. Sensitivity of the model to uncertainties in determination of the theoretical fission barriers is discussed. Predictions concerning formation of the element Z = 120 include comparison of fusion of the most asymmetric systems, Ti-50 + Cf-249 and Cr-54 + Cm-248, with less asymmetric combinations Fe-58 + Pu-244 and Ni-64 + U-238.

Possibility to synthesize Z=120 superheavy nuclei with Z > 20 projectiles

S. H. Zhu, Xiao Jun Bao

Summary: Evaporation residue cross sections for heavy-ion fusion reactions were calculated using the dinuclear system model combined with the statistical model. The calculated results reproduced the experimental trends of various 3n and 4n channel cross sections. The 54Cr + 248Cm reaction was found to be the optimal choice for synthesizing superheavy nuclei with maximum cross sections of 17.58 and 1.09 fb in the 3n and 4n channels, respectively. However, the predicted cross sections for the 54Cr + 248Cm reaction channel are below the detectable limit of currently available facilities, requiring improvements in beam intensities, detection techniques, and efficient separation.

Quasifission and fusion-fission lifetime studies for the superheavy element Z=120

H. C. Manjunatha, L. Seenappa, P. S. Damodara Gupta, N. Manjunatha, K. N. Sridhar, N. Sowmya, T. Nandi

Summary: This study examines the quasifission and fusion-fission lifetimes of fusion reactions used to synthesize the superheavy element Z = 120 using a statistical method within the dinuclear system model framework. The results show good agreement with experimental data, but indicate a slight decrease in fusion-fission lifetime with increasing angular momentum and beam energy.

Understanding the Principles and Applications of Dual Z-Scheme Heterojunctions: How Far Can We Go?

Mope E. Malefane, Potlako J. Mafa, Muthumuni Managa, Thabo T. I. Nkambule, Alex T. Kuvarega

Summary: In the past seven years, dual Z-scheme hetero-junctions have emerged as favorable approaches for enhancing charge carrier separation through direct or indirect charge transfer. Understanding the dynamics of charge transfer is crucial for comprehending their photoactivity and stability, and a universal charge transfer-based classification of dual Z-schemes is proposed for different energy and pollution remediation strategies. Additionally, the existence of dual Z-schemes is confirmed using methods for determining charge transfer, and a new macroscopic N-scheme and triple Z-scheme heterostructures composed of four semiconductors are suggested for generating both oxidatively and reductively empowered systems, with potential applications in solar-driven chemical reactions.

Predictions for the synthesis of the Z=120 superheavy element

Jia-Xing Li, Hong-Fei Zhang

Summary: This study investigates the possible stable and radioactive beam-induced hot fusion reactions for the production of a new superheavy element (SHE) with Z=120 using the dinuclear system model. The results show that the reaction 45Sc+252Es is a suitable choice for synthesizing the SHE Z=120 due to its larger mass asymmetry. Furthermore, the effects of fission barrier and neutron separation energy on the reaction cross-section are analyzed.

The One-Party Versus Third-Party Platform Conundrum: How Can Brands Thrive?

Zhiling Bei, Katrijn Gielens

Summary: Online platforms such as Amazon and Alibaba's Tmall have become powerful intermediaries for brands, but concerns are raised about how they interfere with the brand experience and performance. This study explores the market share implications of 1P and 3P operations on JD.com and Tmall respectively for nearly 2,000 brands. On average, 1P operations decrease shares while 3P operations lift shares, with these changes depending on various brand-specific factors.

Possibility to synthesize Z > 118 superheavy nuclei with 54Cr projectiles

Jia-Xing Li, Hong-Fei Zhang

Summary: The capture and evaporation residue cross sections for heavy ion fusion reactions were calculated using the dinuclear system model. The results were in good agreement with experimental data. A comparative analysis between different projectiles showed the possibility of synthesizing superheavy nuclei with Z = 114-118 using the Cr-54 projectile. However, to synthesize superheavy nuclei with Z > 118, experimental efforts must focus on increasing beam intensity and improving separation and detection techniques.

Research on α-decay for the superheavy nuclei with Z=118-120

Chen He, Zhong-Ming Niu, Xiao-Jun Bao, Jian-You Guo

Summary: This study explores the alpha-decay of superheavy nuclei using the generalized liquid-drop model (GLDM) with microscopic shell correction from relativistic Hartree-Fock (RHF) calculations. The results show that the calculated alpha-decay half-lives agree better with experimental data than those from the GLDM with the shell correction in the Weizsacker-Skyrme model. The influence of the decay energy Q(alpha) on alpha-decay is also investigated, and it is found that the Q(alpha) values obtained from the WS4 model with radial basis function (RBF) correction match the experimental data optimally. The GLDM with RHF shell correction and WS4+RBF Q(alpha) values is adopted to predict the alpha-decay life-time for unknown superheavy nuclei with Z = 118-120. The trend of the available alpha-decay half-lives according to the neutron number is similar to the trends of the values from the GLDM calculation without shell correction as well as the universal decay law (UDL) formula.
