Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The problem of asymmetry and symmetry in Applied Physics is a paradigm of the development of this field. The study of asymmetry and symmetry has become more and more in-depth and has been widely used in various branches of physics: quantum theory, high-energy physics, atomic and molecular physics, and crystal and structural physics. For example, many researchers are focusing on the structural and phase symmetry of organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite to study the origin of its instability.

Researchers in various fields of Applied Physics and related disciplines (physics, chemistry, and materials science) are welcome to submit their works on this topic in our Special Issue “Asymmetric and Symmetric Study on Applied Physics”.

All types of papers (full papers, short communications, reviews, mini-reviews and technical notes, and highlights) are welcome for consideration.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

An analysis of optical effects exhibited by blood plasma under healthy/unhealthy conditions, and of the penetrating evolution of nanovehicles conformed by nanodiamonds (NDs) encapsulating liposomes (L) within these biofluids, is presented. Optical ablation of liposome clusters was actuated and controlled by a standard two-wave mixing (λ = 532 nm, τp = 4 ns) laser light method. Radiant time exposure effects (30 min) and threshold laser energy parameters (250 mJ/cm2 numerical; 181 mJ/cm2 experimental) necessary to release NDs were identified and confirmed with similar experiments in the literature. Interactions during the sedimentation process between nanovehicles and the laser beams barrier were considered as the principal thermal damage process to achieve the release and transportation of drugs within these static fluids. The mechanical response during the release of NDs focuses on the temperature propagation, dynamic effects of nanovehicles associated with the diffusion coefficient, and some agglomeration effects. The principal findings of this research concern the threshold temperature (51.85 °C) of liposomes for the release of NDs with respect to that typically quoted in the literature (40–70 °C) for pure liposomes. The assessment of the release of NDs focuses on the numerical magnitude of Quantum Yield. Furthermore, the optical contrast enhancement was associated with NDs size agglomerations and the healthy/unhealthy conditions of fluids. This research aims to be a first proof approximation for delivery and transportation approaches to guide and interpret outcomes when combined with the vectorial nature basis of laser light and further effects once the cargo is retained in the fluids.
