The effect of Ge additive on the physical and dielectric properties of Se75Te25 and Se85Te15 glassy alloys has been investigated. It is inferred that on adding Ge, the physical properties i.e., average coordination number, average number of constraints and average heat of atomization increase but lone pair electrons, fraction of floppy modes, electronegativity, degree of crosslinking and deviation...
Thin films of Se85 − xTe15Znx (x = 0, 2, 4, 6 and 10) glassy alloys have been deposited onto a chemically cleaned glass substrate by thermal evaporation technique under vacuum. The analysis of transmission spectra, measured at normal incidence, in the spectral range of 400–2500 nm helped us in the optical characterization of thin films under study. From the analysis of transmission spectra, the...
In this paper we report the effect of Pb incorporation in the dielectric properties of a-Se75In25 glassy alloy. The temperature and frequency dependence of the dielectric constants and the dielectric losses in glassy Se75In25−xPbx (x = 0, 5, 10 and 15) alloys in the frequency range (1 kHz-5 MHz) and temperature range (300–340 K) have been measured. A detailed analysis shows that the dielectric...
This is a summary of the activities of the working group on cosmology at WHEPP-X. The three main problems that were discussed at some length by the group during the course of the workshop were (i) canceling a ‘large’ cosmological constant, (ii) non-Gaussianities in inflationary models and (iii) stability of interacting models of dark energy and dark matter. We have briefly outlined these problems...
Effect of doping in Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) with Ce3+ and Sm3+ at the A-site on dielectric behaviour, impedance and conductivity is being reported. Na0.5Bi0.5−xAxTiO3 samples (A being Ce and Sm) are studied with varying values of x. For Na0.5Bi0.5−xCexTiO3 samples x is 0.001, 0.005 and 0.007 and for Na0.5Bi0.5−xSm...
We discuss exact enumeration technique and its application to polymers and biopolymers. Using this method one can obtain phase diagram in thermodynamic limit. The method works quite well in describing the outcomes of single molecule force spectroscopy results where finite size effects play a crucial role.
Nanofluids are a new class of heat transfer fluids developed by suspending nanosized solid particles in liquids. Larger thermal conductivity of solid particles compared to the base fluid such as water, ethylene glycol, engine oil etc. significantly enhances their thermal properties. Several phenomenological models have been proposed to explain the anomalous heat transfer enhancement in nanofluids...
The present paper reports the DC conductivity measurements at high electric fields in vacuum evaporated amorphous thin films of a-Se100−xSnx (x = 0, 2, 4, 6) glassy alloys. Current-voltage (I–V) characteristics have been measured at various fixed temperatures. In these samples, at low electric fields, ohmic behaviour is observed. However, at high electric fields (E ∼ 104 V/cm), non-ohmic behaviour...
Einstein’s field equations are considered for a locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi Type-II space-time in the presence of a massless scalar field with a scalar potential. Exact solutions of scale factors and other physical parameters are obtained by using a special law of variation for Hubble’s parameter that yields a constant value of deceleration parameter. To get inflationary solutions, a flat...
This is the report of flavor physics and model building working group at WHEPP-9. While activites in flavor physics have been mainly focused on B-physics, those in model building have been primarily devoted to neutrino physics. We present summary of working group discussions carried out during the workshop in the above fields, and also briefly review the progress made in some projects subsequently.
