AbstractIn the present study, nematic liquid crystal (NLC) 4′-(Octyloxy)-4-biphenylcarbonitrile dispersed with three different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) is characterized by electro-optical and dielectric spectroscopy method. The dispersion of Ag NPs into NLC material leads to the change in physical parameters such as dielectric permittivity, photoluminescence, threshold voltage, response time and splay elastic constant.

AbstractA model is presented to study the random growth of the number of tumor cells. It contains deterministic growth and therapy terms, as well as a random term. The model is formulated as a Langevin equation and its corresponding Fokker–Planck equation is studied. Three forms for the time-dependence of the therapy are used and the […]
AbstractZinc selenide (ZnSe) thin films with various thicknesses were grown on ultrasonically clean glass substrates using vacuum evaporation of 99.99% pure ZnSe powder. Thickness dependence of the structural, optical and electrical properties was thoroughly investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed that (110) ZnSe plane is the dominant crystal plane for all the fabricated films. Both […]
AbstractInverse bremsstrahlung absorption (IBA) is the most efficient absorption mechanism in laser-fusion plasma. IBA is the process in which an electron absorbs a photon while colliding with an ion or with another electron. IBA of laser energy in homogeneous and unmagnetized plasma has been studied using the Fokker–Planck equation. The isotropic function is considered as […]
AbstractIn this work, the conventional chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique and its growth parameters were systematically studied to deposit CdS thin films on the glass substrate. The samples were prepared using a simple aqueous solution containing cadmium sulfate (CdSO4·8H2O), thiourea [SC(NH2)2], ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] as a source of cadmium, sulfur, and a complexing agent, respectively. […]
AbstractEffects of geometrical asymmetry on spintronic properties of Fe/ZnO/Fe magnetic tunnel junction based on zinc oxide barrier tunnel with rock-salt crystalline structure is studied. Simulations are performed using density functional theory, and substituted layers of C, Mg, Al, Mo, and Ta are used to make geometrically asymmetric structures. The results indicate that this asymmetry has […]
AbstractThe microstructure of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2), synthesized by chemical route, is studied from X-ray peak profile analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The broadening of the X-ray diffraction peaks indicates the presence of small crystallites with a significant amount of disorder. The progression of broadening at lower annealing temperatures, suggests the decrease in the strain […]
AbstractIn this work, the temperature dependence of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) of the body-centered cubic crystals was investigated based on the anharmonic correlated Einstein model using the classical statistical theory. The oscillation of the anharmonic EXAFS spectra presented in terms of the cumulant expansion up to the fourth order. Here, the thermodynamic parameters […]
AbstractSeveral theoretical and experiential studies of runaway electrons in the well-known Tokamaks of the world have been made over the past few decades. In the present study, the measurements of runaway electrons energy were carried out by a new runaway probe in the IR-T1 Tokamak. In the IR-T1 Tokamak, the hard X-ray diagnostic system is […]
AbstractMesoporous silicon (mesoPSi) layers fabricated by the photoelectrochemical etching (PECE) method in hydrofluoric acid (HF) are active as carbon monoxide gas sensors. The modified porous silicon (PSi) can be used with noble metals to manufacture an effective gas sensor. Embedded gold, platinum, and palladium nanoparticles Au, Pt, and Pd-NPs could modify the surface morphology of […]
