To study the effect of different anode tip geometries on the intensity of soft X-rays emitted from a 4 kJ plasma focus device (PFD), we considered five different anode tips which were cylindrical-flat, cylindrical-hollow, spherical-convex, cone-flat and cone-hollow tips. BPX-65 PIN diodes covered by four different filters are used to register the intensity of soft X-rays. The use of cone-flat anode...
Using direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh–Bénard convection (RBC), we perform a comparative study of the spectra and fluxes of energy and entropy, and the scaling of large-scale quantities for large and infinite Prandtl numbers in two (2D) and three (3D) dimensions. We observe close similarities between the 2D and 3D RBC, in particular, the kinetic energy spectrum Eu...
The effects of dust size distribution and dust charge fluctuation of dust grains on the small but finite amplitude nonlinear dust ion-acoustic shock waves, in an unmagnetized multi-ion dusty plasma which contains negative ions, positive ions and electrons, are studied in this paper. A Burgers equation and its stationary solutions are obtained by using the reductive perturbation method. The analytical...
Cosmic rays cause significant damage to the electronic equipments of the aircrafts. In this paper, we have investigated the accumulation of the deposited energy of cosmic rays on the Earth’s atmosphere, especially in the aircraft area. In fact, if a high-energy neutron or proton interacts with a nanodevice having only a few atoms, this neutron or proton particle can change the nature of this device...
With a view of exploring new vistas with regard to the nature of complex eigenspectra of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, the quasi-exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation are investigated for a shifted harmonic potential under the framework of extended complex phase-space approach. Analyticity property of the eigenfunction alone is found sufficient to throw light on the nature of the eigenvalues...
We explicitly derive the proper-time (τ) principal Lyapunov exponent (λp) and coordinate-time (t) principal Lyapunov exponent (λc) for Reissner–Nordstrøm (RN) black hole (BH). We also compute their ratio. For RN space-time, it is shown that the ratio is ( λ p / λ c ) = r 0 / r 0 2 − 3 M r ...
Lifetimes of excited states in the yrast band of the gamma-soft nuclei 131Ce and 133Pr have been measured using the recoil distance Doppler shift and Doppler shift attenuation methods. The yrast bands in 131Ce and 133Pr are based on odd decoupled neutron νh11/2 high Ω and proton πh11/2 low Ω orbitals, respectively. The triaxiality parameter extracted from the experimentally...
The mass attenuation coefficients (μm) have been measured for undecylic acid (C11H22O2), lauric acid (C12H24O2), tridecylic acid (C13H26O2), myristic acid (C14H28O2), pentadecylic acid (C15H30O2) and palmitic acid (C16H32O2) using 57Co, 133Ba, 137Cs, 60Co and 22Na emitted γ radiation with energies 122, 356, 511, 662, 1170, 1275 and 1330 keV, respectively. The accurate values of the effective...
We investigate the dynamics of entanglement given by the concurrence of a two-qubit system in the non-Markovian setting. A quantum master equation is derived, which is solved in the eigenbasis of the system Hamiltonian for X-type initial states. A closed formula for time evolution of concurrence is presented for a pure state. It is shown that under the influence of dissipation non-zero entanglement...
The aim of this work is to study the effect of barium (Ba) doping on the optical, morphological and structural properties of ZnO nanoparticles. Undoped and Ba-doped ZnO have been successfully synthesized via sonochemical method using zinc nitrate, hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) and barium chloride as starting materials. The structural characterization by XRD and FTIR shows that ZnO nanoparticles are...
Propagation of shock waves in soda lime glass, which is a transparent material, has been studied using the optical shadowgraphy technique. The time-resolved shock velocity information has been obtained (1) in single shot, using the chirped pulse shadowgraphy technique, with a temporal resolution of tens of picoseconds and (2) in multiple shots, using conventional snapshot approach, with a second harmonic...
A stochastic approach to fission dynamics based on two-dimensional Langevin equations was applied to calculate the anisotropy of the fission fragments angular distribution and average pre-scission neutron multiplicities for the compound nucleus 248Cf formed in the 16O+232Th reactions. Postsaddle nuclear dissipation strength of (12–14) × 1021 s−1 was extracted for Cf nucleus by fitting the results...
The static exchange model (SEM) and the modified static exchange model (MSEM) recently introduced by Ray in Pramana – J. Phys.83, 907 (2014) are used to study the elastic collision between two hydrogen-like atoms when both are in ground states by considering the system as a four-body Coulomb system in the centre of mass frame, in which all the Coulomb interaction terms in direct and exchange...
Nonlinear fractional differential equations are encountered in various fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering and in numerous other applications. Exact solutions of these equations play a crucial role in the proper understanding of the qualitative features of many phenomena and processes in various areas of natural science. Thus, many effective and powerful methods have been...
Additional sinusoidal and different non-sinusoidal periodic perturbations applied to the periodically forced nonlinear oscillators decide the maintainance or inhibitance of chaos. It is observed that the weak amplitude of the sinusoidal force without phase is sufficient to inhibit chaos rather than the other non-sinusoidal forces and sinusoidal force with phase. Apart from sinusoidal force without...
Smooth and non-smooth optical solitons in the nonlinearly dispersive Schrödinger equation are given by phase portraits. The Melnikov technique is used to detect conditions for chaotic motion of this deterministic system and to analyse conditions for the suppression of chaos. Our results show that the system is in a state of Melnikov chaos by external disturbances. After the implementation of the controlled...
Inclusive momentum distributions of charged particles are measured in dijet events. Events were produced at the AMY detector with a centre of mass energy of 60 GeV. Our results were compared, on the one hand to those obtained from other e+e−, ep as well as CDF data, and on the other hand to the perturbative QCD calculations carried out in the framework of the modified...
Laser energy absorption results in significant heating of metallic nanoparticles and controlling the heating of nanoparticles is one of the essential stages of selective cell targeting. It is necessary to note that the laser action should be done by laser pulses with a wavelength that is strongly absorbed by the particles and it is important to select wavelengths that are not absorbed by the medium...
The spin-Hamiltonian parameters (g factors g∥, g⊥ and hyperfine structure constants A∥, A⊥) and the local structure for the tetragonal Cu2+ centre in trigonal ZnGeF6⋅6H2O crystal are theoretically studied using the perturbation formulae of these parameters for a 3 d9 ion in tetragonally elongated octahedra. In the calculations, the contributions...
