AbstractIn this study, we investigate the optical bistability of graphene-coated nanoparticles with cylindrical core–shell structure at terahertz frequency, because graphene displays optical bistability and multistability in a broad range of incident optical intensity. The choice of core–shell system is due to its larger local electric field enhancement, where this characteristic is important for the optical […]
AbstractResonant third harmonic generation of super-Gaussian laser beam in rippled density plasma is studied. Both the relativistic and ponderomotive nonlinearities are included in the analysis, and the study is done for self-guided laser beam. The quasi-static component of ponderomotive force creates electron density depression in the beam region while the second harmonic component leads to […]
AbstractIn this study, effects of the variation in the dielectric barrier discharge’s (DBD) gap distance and the nature of dielectric layers which cover both of the reactor electrodes on the electron density, mass fraction of excited argon atoms across the discharge gap, mean electron energy, ion and electron current density, and electron temperature are investigated […]
AbstractRecently, one-dimensional periodic ternary photonic crystals have shown outstanding properties when compared to one-dimensional periodic binary photonic crystals. In this work, a ternary photonic crystal is proposed as a temperature sensor. The structure of the ternary photonic structure is considered Si/polymer/SiO2. The transmission spectra of the proposed ternary photonic structure are studied for different temperatures. […]
AbstractThe objective of this work is to study the effect of using nanofluids as coolant on divertor system of fusion reactors which is known to be subjected to high heat loads coming from the plasma. Turbulent force convective heat transfer of water-based Al2O3 nanofluid flowing through the CuCrZr cooling tube of a small scale of […]
AbstractThe study focused on the production of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films as a dielectric material for use in metal–insulator–semiconductor capacitors. The objective of this study has demonstrated the frequency dependence of conductivity and capacity. Zinc oxide (ZnO) was thin films deposited by a silicon wavelength sputteringmagnetron cathode sputtering. The capacitive properties of ZnO zinc […]
AbstractIdentification and quantification of human fingernail calcium is demonstrated by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) using the modified external standardization. Since cow’s horn and hoof have structures very similar to the fingernail, either of them is individually selected as the matrix of standard samples. In total, 12 standard samples for each matrix are prepared using CaCO3 […]
AbstractIn this work, the impact of six different anti-reflection coating (ARC) layers has been investigated using PC1D simulation software. Simulation shows that the range of 500–700 nm would be suitable for designing an ARC. Designing a single-layer silicon nitride (Si3N4) ARC for 600 nm wavelength and with a thickness of 74.257 nm, a silicon solar cell with 20.35% […]
AbstractZinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are prepared by sol–gel process, using both polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as surfactant and propyltrimethoxysilane (PTMS) as capping agent. Surface modification is performed in situ procedure. The physical parameters such as strain and stress values are calculated via the Williamson–Hall plot (W&H) assuming a uniform deformation model (UDM) and uniform stress […]
AbstractHexylcyanobiphenyl liquid crystal was doped with graphene oxide at ratios %0.25GO, %0.5GO, %1GO and %2GO, and the change in physical properties of pristine and the doped liquid crystals has been investigated. The phase transitions of prepared samples were studied by differential scanning calorimeter and polarized optical microscopy. The differential scanning calorimeter and polarized optical microscopy results are in good […]
