Summary: This paper provides a detailed theoretical analysis of the temperature rise near magnetite/gold and magnetite/silver core/shell nanospheres submerged in water, using the Lorenz theory and the electrostatic-thermal transfer analogy approach. Localized surface plasmon resonances are found to be the most efficient in photothermal effect. Gold and silver nanospheres allow a significant, almost uniform temperature rise at their vicinities, with spectrally localized stimulating light at 389 nm and 535 nm, respectively. Magnetite/gold and magnetite/silver core/shell nanospheres also exhibit an important photothermal effect, with the interesting ability to tune the frequency of stimulating light from ultraviolet to near infrared by adjusting the global diameter and relative thickness of the nanosphere's shell. The distribution of temperature rise over the plasmonic shell-water interface becomes non-uniform for a decreasing relative shell thickness.

Summary: An ultrasensitive and dual-recognition surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor has been developed for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The biosensor utilizes teicoplanin (Tcp) functionalized gold-coated magnet nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Au-Tcp NPs) as the capture probe and S. aureus aptamer (Apt) functionalized silver coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag-DTNB-Apt NPs) as the signal probe. The biosensor demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity due to the SERS enhancement from the hot spot effect between Au NPs and Au@Ag NPs, as well as the dual-recognition ability based on Tcp and Apt. The biosensor is capable of detecting S. aureus in milk and orange juice samples.

Summary: Cu-precipitation in reactor pressure vessel steels is a major concern for the degradation of mechanical properties. This study develops and implements a non-local phase-field model to investigate the equilibrium morphology of precipitates in the over-aged state. The model confirms that the precipitates should have an oblate lath-like shape, which is supported by experimental data. The orientation of the precipitates is consistent with literature. The mechanism of morphology accommodation is explained using the invariant-line method. However, the equilibrium values of elongation significantly deviate from experimental data, likely due to the metastable state of the precipitates during the coarsening process.

The microstructure and dynamic recrystallization mechanisms were analyzed using SEM and EBSD techniques. A strain-compensated Arrhenius constitutive equation and a PSO-BP ANN model based on machine learning were established to analyze the flow behavior. The experimental results showed that the flow stress decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. The PSO-BP ANN model demonstrated good accuracy in predicting flow stress.
