AbstractThis paper presents a theoretical model for the generation of terahertz radiation by cosh-Gaussian laser beams of high intensity, which are capable of creating relativistic–ponderomotive nonlinearity. We find the components of the terahertz radiation for the relativistic laser plasma interaction, i.e. beating of the two lasers of same amplitude and different frequency in under dense […]
AbstractMn sculptured thin films were fabricated in form of graded helical square tower-like terraced sculptured Mn thin films (GHSTTS) using oblique angle deposition together with rotation of substrate about its surface normal with fixed rotation angle (90°) and a shadowing block which was fixed at the centre of the substrate holder. The anisotropy of the […]
AbstractCarbon dots (C-Dots) from mangosteen peel has been synthesized by pyrolysis method. Synthesis of C-Dots is done using precursor solution which is prepared from extract of mangosteen peel as carbon source and urea as passivation agent. C-Dots is successfully formed with absorbance spectra at wavelength 350–550 nm. Urea affects to the formed C-Dots, while the absorbance […]
AbstractThe nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) that describes the propagation of high intensity laser pulse through plasma is obtained by employing the multiple scales technique. One of the arresting solution for NLS equation is soliton like envelope for vector potential that is called electromagnetic soliton. The type and amplitude of electromagnetic soliton (EM) depends on the […]
AbstractThe effect of linear ion Landau damping on weakly nonlinear as well as weakly dispersive low-frequency waves in a dusty plasma is investigated. The standard perturbative approach leads to the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation with a linear Landau damping term for the dynamics of the low-frequency nonlinear wave. Landau damping causes the wave amplitude to […]
AbstractInteraction of high power circularly polarized short laser pulses with a cold underdense magnetized thin plasma lens is analyzed in the sub-relativistic regime. The magnetic field is applied along the direction of the laser field propagation. The evolution equation of the beam spot size is derived and solved by making use of the variational principle […]
AbstractElectron states in a sinusoidally deformed cylindrical nanowire are probed within the effective mass approximation. The nanowire is immersed in a homogeneous magnetic field applied parallel to the axis of the wire. The sinusoidal deformity affects quantum properties of electrons considerably. The deformity introduces energy dependence on the axial position, enhancing (decreasing) confinement energies in […]
AbstractThis research addresses a detailed study on the sensitivity and selectivity of ZnO thin film to volatile organic compound (VOC) vapors that can be used for the development of VOC sensors. The ZnO thin film of 100 nm thickness was prepared by post-annealing of e-beam evaporated Zn thin film. The sample was structurally, morphologically, and chemically […]
AbstractThis paper presents a possible solution to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells. An external electric field is applied on a silicon photovoltaic solar cell, inducing band-trap ionization of charge carriers. Output current is then monitored and the thermodynamic efficiency is calculated. Results show on the one hand a significant increase in efficiency for […]
AbstractThe length of insulator sleeve is varied to investigate its effect on the pinch formation in the plasma focus facility. In this paper, the effect of insulator length on the time to pinch at various pressures and working voltages in the 1.15 kJ Mather type plasma focus is investigated. The results show that with 4.5 cm insulator […]
