Magnetic relaxometry methods have been shown to be very sensitive in detecting cancer cells and other targeted diseases. Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensors are one of the primary sensor systems used in this methodology because of their high sensitivity with demonstrated capabilities of detecting fewer than 100,000 magnetically-labeled cancer cells. The emerging technology of atomic magnetometers (AMs) represents a new detection method for magnetic relaxometry with high sensitivity and without the requirement for cryogens. We report here on a study of magnetic relaxometry using both AM and SQUID sensors to detect cancer cells that are coated with superparamagnetic nanoparticles through antibody targeting. The AM studies conform closely to SQUID sensor results in the measurement of the magnetic decay characteristics following a magnetization pulse. The AM and SQUID sensor data are well described theoretically for superparamagnetic particles bound to cells and the results can be used to determine the number of cells in a cell culture or tumor. The observed fields and magnetic moments of cancer cells are linear with the number of cells over a very large range. The AM sensor demonstrates very high sensitivity for detecting magnetically labeled cells, does not require cryogenic cooling and is relatively inexpensive. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Covert MOF-Based Photoluminescent Tags via Tunable Linker Energetics

Jacob Deneff, Lauren E. S. Rohwer, Kimberly S. Butler, Nichole R. Valdez, Mark A. Rodriguez, Ting S. Luk, Dorina F. Sava Gallis

Summary: Optical anticounterfeiting tags utilize the photoluminescent properties of materials to encode unique patterns for identification and validation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on polynuclear rare earth clusters are ideal materials for this purpose due to their fine control over structure and composition. In this study, we designed and synthesized heterometallic MOFs using Eu, Nd, and Yb with a specific linker. The resulting optical tags have multiple covert elements, with invisible emissions from Eu and infrared emissions from Nd and Yb. We also discovered a previously unobserved 11-metal cluster correlated with the presence of Yb in the MOFs. These materials demonstrate great potential as intricate optical tags and highlight the importance of linker selection in controlling their photoluminescent properties.

Dorina F. Sava Gallis, Kimberly S. Butler, Charles J. Pearce, Nichole Valdez, Mark A. Rodriguez

Summary: This study presents a rapid and facile design strategy to create a highly complex optical tag with programmable, multimodal photoluminescent properties using intrinsic and DNA-fluorophore hidden signatures. A novel heterometallic near-infrared (NIR)-emitting metal-organic framework (MOF) was designed and synthesized as the first covert feature of the tag. The NIR-emissive MOF was post-synthetically modified via a fluorescent DNA oligo labeling design strategy to achieve controlled, multimodal, and tailorable emission with difficult to counterfeit features.

Summary: The electronic structure and ferroelectric-ferromagnetic coupling properties of Y-doped and vacancy-containing GaN-ZnO heterojunctions are systematically investigated. The magnetism in vacancy-containing systems is generated by the spin polarization of unpaired electrons induced by cationic vacancies, while in Y-doped systems, bound magnetic polarons are formed by the orbital hybridization of s-state and d-state electrons of Y-doped elements.

Oleg I. Utesov

Summary: The elementary excitations spectrum of anisotropic frustrated antiferromagnets in the fan phase is discussed. It is found that the low-energy part of the spectrum consists of a gapless phason branch with linear dispersion and a gapped optical branch corresponding to the fan structure amplitude oscillations. In the high-energy part of the spectrum, the excitations are similar to the magnons of the fully polarized phase.

Vapor bubbles departure frequency at ferrofluid boiling on a single nucleation site in a uniform horizontal magnetic field

Alexander Ya. Simonovskii, Alexander A. Yanovskii, Arthur R. Zakinyan

Summary: In this study, the departure frequency of vapor bubbles during boiling of ferrofluid in a horizontal magnetic field is experimentally investigated. Two methods, visual and inductive, are used to measure the frequency of bubble departure. The results show that the bubble departure frequency can decrease with increasing magnetic field strength and increase with increasing temperature of the heat-emitting surface. A linear stability analysis is conducted to analyze the influence of the magnetic field on the frequency of bubble formation during ferrofluid boiling.

Thermodynamic, entanglement and spin Hall conductivity on kagome-honeycomb lattice system

Leonardo S. Lima

Summary: This study investigates the thermodynamic quantities, such as entropy, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility, in the next-nearest-neighbors Heisenberg model on a honeycomb-kagome lattice. The linear spin-wave approach is applied to obtain the temperature-dependent behavior of these quantities. Additionally, the entanglement negativity, a quantifier of quantum entanglement, and the spin Hall conductivity are also studied. The results show that all the thermodynamic quantities, as well as the entanglement negativity and spin Hall conductivity, exhibit an increasing trend with temperature. Furthermore, it is found that all the analyzed quantities approach zero in the low-temperature limit, consistent with experimental observations.
