The present report describes the deposition of SiC-NiCr films on Zr substrates under an H2 gas environment by plasma focusing (PF). Using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method, the anode for the plasma focus device was made from SiC, Ni, and Chromium powders. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of SiC-NiCr samples shows a change in the position and […]
The present experimental study aims to synthesize and evaluate the magneto-plasmonic properties of metallic nanoparticles to introduce a hybrid of core-shell nanoparticle that can be used in biomedical and optical applications. For these core-shell nanoparticles, gold (Au) was used as the plasmonic material and iron (Fe) as the partner in the magnetic parts. The core-shell […]
The study explores the use of nanofibers for enzyme immobilization, leveraging their high contact area and controlled cavities. By employing ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on a polymeric blend of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and poly acrylonitrile (PAN) during electrospinning, nanofibers were fabricated for glucose oxidase (GOD) immobilization. UV treatment enhanced carboxyl group presence on nanofiber surfaces, as […]
In this study, a theoretical model was presented to calculate current and current density to investigate the efficiency of the heterogeneous ruthenium 620-TiO2 device using a propanol solvent. This work examines the effect of concentration carriers on the current density and performance of ruthenium 620-TiO2 devices for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) in the presence of […]
In this paper, we study obliquely propagating of small amplitude ion acoustic waves (IAWs) in non-relativistic cold plasma in which the ions are viscous fluid, electrons distribution is Maxwellian and external magnetic field varies in space. Using the reductive perturbation method, a nonlinear equation which complies with Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (KdVB) equation is derived for this […]
An atmospheric pressure plasma microjet device with a tapered ground electrode and dielectric barrier is developed. The effects of the powered electrode geometry and input power on the specifications of the launched RF plasma jets are investigated. Needle-powered electrodes with different types, shapes, lengths, and diameters, such as perforated and un-perforated hollow cylindrical tubes with […]
The plasma filamentation instability (FI), also known as the beam-Weibel instability, is responsible for the generation of magnetic fields and the acceleration of particles within collisionless astrophysical plasmas. In the present study, we employ Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation to model the filamentation instability driven by sub-relativistic electron-positron counter-streaming pairs in one spatial dimension moving with velocity […]
In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are combined with a mixture of polymers (polyvinylalcohol PVA, polyethylene-glycol PEG and polyvinylpyrrolidone PVP). Titanium dioxide (TiO2) NPs was formulation by sol-gel process, nanocomposites were prepared with concentration (1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 wt%). TiO2 NPs after subjecting them to a calcination process at a temperature […]
The use of clay-based nanocomposites as bioadsorbents was considered in this research due to their high mechanical and chemical stable properties, cheapness, compatibility, and abundance in nature. Thermal solution method was used to produce montmorilonite-alginate-zein (MMTALgZ) nanocomposites to remove tartazine dye. Zein and alginate polymers were used to modify the surface of clay. The samples […]
In this research, we investigate the bending of photon light and/or time-like geodesics within the context of four-dimensional space-time geometry, specifically in the presence of topological defects. These topological defects manifest as cosmic string space-time configurations, encompassing screw dislocation, spiral dislocation, and spacelike dislocation. Our primary objective is to determine the extent of deflection experienced […]
