Energy migration and scintillation kinetics in compositionally complex (Gd 1/4 Y 1/4 Tb 1/4 Lu 1/4 ) 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce single crystal scintillator
It is well-established that compositional tuning through binary admixture can improve scintillation performance in several materials systems, including Ce-activated garnets. Although recent work on ternary or quaternary cation admixture shows promise, the impact of this increased compositional complexity on thermal stability and carrier-defect dynamics has not been addressed. Here, we investigate a compositionally complex garnet, (Gd 1/4 Y 1/4 Tb 1/4 Lu 1/4 ) 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce (GYTLAG), grown by the Czochralski method using temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL), PL decay, and thermoluminescence (TL). PL and PL decay measurements support a thermally activated Tb 3+ -Ce 3+ energy transfer, where Tb 3+ emission dominates below 60 K, but Ce 3+ emission increases from 20-300 K. Thermal quenching of Ce 3+ emission occurs around T 50 = 508 K, with an activation energy of 0.6 eV. TL and wavelength-resolved TL spectra from 20–500 K show that GYTLAG contains similar trap groups to LuAG but with a broader distribution of glow peaks below room temperature, possibly caused by quaternary cation mixing. A combination of dose dependence, partial cleaning and initial rise, and glow curve fitting to a first order continuous Gaussian distribution model are used to understand the contribution of electronic point defects to scintillation decay and afterglow at room temperature. Furthermore, these results inform how increased compositional complexity influences recombination dynamics in garnet scintillators.

RNA methyltransferase NSUN2 promotes hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma proliferation and migration by enhancing TEAD1 expression in an m5C-dependent manner
Highlights: • NSUN2 is highly expressed in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. • NSUN2 knockdown in vitro and in vivo decreased cell proliferation and invasion. • NSUN2 promotes tumor proliferation and invasion through TEAD1. RNA methyltransferase NSUN2 is involved in cell proliferation and invasion in a variety of tumors. However, the expression, function, and mechanism of NSUN2 in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) remains unknown. We used a bioinformatics database, polymerase chain reaction, cell culture and transfection, immunohistochemistry, cell proliferation assay, wound healing experiments, transwell assays, western blotting, RNA-seq detection, dual-luciferase reporter assay, in vivo experiments, and a dot blot assay to evaluate the role of NSUN2 in HPSCC. NSUN2 mRNA and protein were highly expressed in HPSCC; NSUN2 knockdown in vitro and in vivo decreased cell proliferation and invasion. Studies have shown that TEAD1, a transcription factor, may act downstream of NSUN2 in HPSCC. NSUN2 was found to promote the proliferation and invasion of HPSCC by upregulating TEAD1 in an 5-methylcytosine-dependent manner, thereby representing an oncogene and potential new target for treating HPSCC.
