AbstractZnO nanoparticles were synthesized from chitosan and zinc chloride by a precipitation method. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction peak profile analysis, Scanning electron microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy and Photoluminescence. The X-ray diffraction results revealed that the sample was crystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite phase. We have investigated […]
AbstractOn the basis of the theory of thermodynamics, a new formalism of classical nonrelativistic mechanics of a mass point is proposed. The particle trajectories of a general dynamical system defined on a (1+n)-dimensional smooth manifold are geometrically treated as dynamical variables. The statistical mechanics of particle trajectories are constructed in a classical manner. Thermodynamic variables […]
AbstractPartial discharge (PD) taking place within narrow channels produces a large number of charged particles, causing degradation of the polymer. Additionally, PD pulses also produce UV photons due to decay of excited states (radiative states) in air. These may have enough energy to break C–C bonds and thereby add to the degradation of the dielectrics […]
Abstract Study of the microstructure of silicon carbide (SiC) membrane as a function of sintering temperature and the percentage amount of additive kaolin is the outcome of the experimental fabrications presented in this paper. The SEM micrographs are used to investigate the impact of above parameters on the porosity of membrane. The experimental results show […]
AbstractIn this research, for the first time, we synthesize magnesium nitride thin films on 304-type stainless steel substrates using a Mather-type (2 kJ) plasma focus (PF) device. The films of magnesium nitride are coated with different number of focus shots (like 15, 25 and 35) at a distance of 8 cm from the anode tip and at […]
AbstractIn this paper, an all-optical filter is proposed which employs a resonant cavity localized between input and output waveguides as wavelength selecting part of the filter. We study the impact of different parameters on the filtering of the structure using plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain methods. We also study the effect of […]
AbstractThe basic features of nonlinear ion acoustic (IA) waves are theoretically studied in a superthermal electron–positron–ion (e–p–i) plasma with weakly transverse perturbation. A three-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation governing evolution of weakly nonlinear IA waves is derived by means of a reductive perturbation method. The energy integral equation is used to study the existence domain of […]
AbstractThe basic properties and form factors of the deuteron system are investigated for the different forms of the Wood–Saxon potential. We have used the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method for analytical solution of the radial Schrodinger equation. A comparison of the calculated values with experimental results are given. It is shown that the obtained results for the […]
AbstractPoint reactor kinetics equations with one group of delayed neutrons in the presence of the time-dependent external neutron source are solved analytically during the start-up of a nuclear reactor. Our model incorporates the random nature of the source and linear reactivity variation. We establish a general relationship between the expectation values of source intensity and […]
AbstractThe present study deals with spatially homogeneous and totally anisotropic Bianchi type-VI0 bulk viscous cosmological models in Lyra geometry. The Einstein’s field equations have been solved exactly by taking the shear (σ) in the model proportional to expansion scalar (θ) which leads to A = Bn, where A and B are metric functions and n is a […]
