    Abstract We calculate the frequency-dependent longitudinal and Hall conductivities and the Faraday and Kerr rotation angles for a single sheet of anisotropic Dirac semimetal protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry in the presence of a Zeeman term coupling to the out-of-plane component of the spin. While the Zeeman term causes a rotation of the plane of polarization of the light, the anisotropy causes the appearance of an elliptically polarized component in an initially linearly polarized beam. The two effects can be combined in a single complex Faraday rotation angle. At the zero-frequency limit, we find a finite value of the Faraday rotation angle, which is given by $2\alpha_F$, where $\alpha_F$ is the effective fine structure constant associated with the velocity of the linearly dispersing Dirac fermions. We also find a logarithmic enhancement of the Faraday (and Kerr) rotation angles as the frequency of the light approaches the absorption edge associated with the Zeeman-induced gap. While the enhancement is reduced by impurity scattering, it remains significant for an attainable level of material purity. These results indicate that two-dimensional Dirac materials protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry are responsive to Zeeman couplings and can be used as platforms for magneto-optic applications, such as the realization of polarization-rotating devices.

    Abstract Cancer immunotherapy is a treatment that uses the body's own immune system to fight against cancer. Malignant cells in the human body have the ability to mutate themselves in such a way that they can escape from immune system surveillance and proliferate. So, if the human immune system could be boosted or its surveillance and defensive mechanisms improved so that our bodies can detect cancer cells and kill them by combining all of the human body's defensive mechanisms, it would be much easier to deal with cancer. A recent trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York found that by using a drug called Dostarlimab, rectal adenocarcinoma could be cured by boosting the human immune system to detect and kill cancer cells. This could be considered a validated extension of cancer immunotherapy. This paper will explain how dostarlimab works on the body's immune system and destroys cancer cells in a simple way that anyone who is not in the medical field also can understand.

    Abstract Precisely probing heavy metal pollutants in water warrants novel methods and materials. To this end, functionalization of nanoparticles using biologically important substances through a green route is a novel aspect in the design of an optical sensor. In this article we report a green preparative strategy for the synthesis of cysteamine stabilized silver nanoparticles (Ag-Nps) in aqueous medium. The water-soluble Ag-Nps are found to be highly sensitive and selective for rapid colorimetric detection of Hg(II) ion with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.273 nM (55 ppt). This system also enables us to detect Hg(II) through the naked eye with an LOD of 2.73 nM (0.55 ppb) which is below the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible limit (10 nM or 2 ppb). Cysteamine undergoes cooperative coordination with the mercury ion leading to spontaneous formation of a mercury–cysteamine complex and consequently forms Ag–Hg nanoalloy, which in turn changes the surface plasmon property of Ag-Nps to allow detection of Hg(II) ion with subnanomolar precision. Furthermore, Ag-Nps were tested for detection of Hg(II) in different real water samples with satisfying recoveries over 96–102%.

    Abstract A two-dimensional (2D) Weyl semimetal featuring a spin-polarized linear band dispersion and a nodal Fermi surface is a new topological phase of matter. It is a solid-state realization of Weyl fermions in an intrinsic 2D system. The nontrivial topology of 2D Weyl cones guarantees the existence of a new form of topologically protected boundary states, Fermi string edge states. In this work, we report the realization of a 2D Weyl semimetal in monolayer-thick epitaxial bismuthene grown on SnS(Se) substrate. The intrinsic band gap of bismuthene is eliminated by the space-inversion-symmetry-breaking substrate perturbations, resulting in a gapless spin-polarized Weyl band dispersion. The linear dispersion and spin polarization of the Weyl fermion states are observed in our spin and angle-resolved photoemission measurements. In addition, the scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy reveals a pronounced local density of states at the edge, suggesting the existence of Fermi string edge states. These results open the door for the experimental exploration of the exotic properties of Weyl fermion states in reduced dimensions.

    Abstract Two fully oxidized [(n-Bu4N)2][Mo6O19], 7 and [(n-Bu4N)2][W6O19], 8 and one mixed-metal, mixed-valence one electron reduced [(n-Bu4N)3][MoW5O19], 9 cluster have been synthesized under biphasic reaction conditions from group VI metal carbonyls or Fischer carbene complexes, [(CO)5M=C(OMe)Me] (M = Mo, W) in yields of 73, 77 and 71% respectively. All the clusters have been characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra, and crystal structure determinations. Additionally, the composition of 9 has also been supported by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF), inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. This novel and mild route offers distinct improvements over earlier methods of synthesis for Lindqvist type mixed-valence mixed-metal polyoxometalate cluster.
