OICC PRESS Shifted Tietz–Wei oscillator for simulating the atomic interaction in diatomic molecules Volume 9 (2015) Issue 3 2022 12 26 Shifted Tietz–Wei oscillator for simulating the atomic interaction in diatomic molecules 10.1007/s40094-015-0173-9 EN Journal Article 2022 12 26 AbstractThe shifted Tietz–Wei (sTW) oscillator is as good as traditional Morse potential in simulating the atomic interaction in diatomic molecules. By using the Pekeris-type approximation, to deal with the centrifugal term, we obtain the bound-state solutions of the radial Schrödinger equation with this typical molecular model via the exact quantization rule (EQR).

In the nonlinear analysis, the modified Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (mKdV–Burgers) equation is derived via the reductive perturbation method. Bifurcation analysis is discussed for non-dissipative system in the absence of Burgers term. In the case of dissipative system, the tangent hyperbolic method is used to solve mKdV–Burgers equation, and yield the shock wave solution. The obtained results may be helpful in better understanding of waves propagation in the astrophysical plasmas as well as in inertial confinement fusion laboratory plasmas.

OICC PRESS Surface modification of Raw and Frit glazes by non-thermal helium plasma jet Volume 9 (2015) Issue 3 2022 12 26 Surface modification of Raw and Frit glazes by non-thermal helium plasma jet 10.1007/s40094-015-0176-6 EN Journal Article 2022 12 26 AbstractIn this study, non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) was utilized to improve the adhesion of Raw and Frit glazes. These glazes are widely used in industry to make chinaware, decorative dishes and tiles applied at wall and floor. As they should be painted before use, increasing their adhesive properties leads to a better paint durability. Electrical and optical characteristics of the plasma jet are investigated to optimize for efficient treatment. Contact angle measurement and surface energy calculation demonstrate a drastic increase after the plasma treatment indicating wettability and paintability enhancement. Moreover, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses were performed on the specimens to explore the influence of helium plasma jet on the physical and chemical properties of the glazes, microscopically. AFM analysis reveals surface etching resulted from the bombardment of the solid surfaces by the APPJ using helium fed gas. The process aims to enhance adhesive properties of glaze surfaces.

OICC PRESS Effect of substrate temperature on ZnS films prepared by thermal evaporation technique Volume 9 (2015) Issue 3 2022 12 26 Effect of substrate temperature on ZnS films prepared by thermal evaporation technique 10.1007/s40094-015-0177-5 EN Journal Article 2022 12 26 AbstractThe nanocrystalline ZnS semiconducting thin films of 500 nm thickness have been deposited on glass substrate at different substrate temperatures (Ts) by thermal evaporation technique. The structural property of deposited thin films has been measured by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Energy dispersive analysis of X-ray. The electrical and optical properties of thin films have been determined by D.C. two point probe and ultra-violet visible spectroscopy measurements. The X-ray diffraction patterns show that thin films have cubic structure. The electrical resistivity of thin films has decreased from 0.36 × 106 to 0.15 × 106 Ω cm as substrate temperature increases from 300 to 400 K. It shows that films have semiconducting in nature. The grain size and electrical conductivity of the thin films have increased as the deposition temperature increased while dislocation density, activation energy, and band gap decreased. The minimum band gap 3.43 eV has been found.

OICC PRESS Antibacterial effect, structural characterization, and some applications of silver chiral nano-flower sculptured thin films Volume 9 (2015) Issue 3 2022 12 26 Antibacterial effect, structural characterization, and some applications of silver chiral nano-flower sculptured thin films 10.1007/s40094-015-0178-4 EN Journal Article 2022 12 26 AbstractSilver chiral nano-flowers with 3-, 4-, and 5-fold symmetry were produced using oblique angle deposition method in conjunction with the rotation of sample holder with different speeds at different sectors of each revolution. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were employed to obtain the nanostructure and morphology of the films. Their antibacterial, electrical, and hydrophobic properties were investigated. Antibacterial properties were investigated against a range of microorganisms including Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, and Candida albicans PTCC 5027. Electrical conductivity of these films relative to that of bulk sample is reduced by a factor of about 103 due to porosity, surface roughness, and anisotropic structure of these films. Hydrophobicity results show dependence on the symmetry of these chiral nano-flowers.

OICC PRESS Relation of the nonlinear Heisenberg algebras in two dimensions with linear ones Volume 9 (2015) Issue 3 2022 12 26 Relation of the nonlinear Heisenberg algebras in two dimensions with linear ones 10.1007/s40094-015-0179-3 EN Journal Article 2022 12 26 AbstractIn this paper, we discuss the relation of the nonlinear Heisenberg algebras in two dimensions with linear ones following the Nowicki and Tkachuk’s approach for one-dimensional case. For one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, we obtain the solution explicitly. For the nonlinear Heisenberg algebras in two dimensions, we introduce two generators to transform this algebra into the linear one. For the linear version of the nonlinear Heisenberg algebras in two dimensions, we obtain the eigenfunction for the position and angular momentum operator and solve the harmonic oscillator problem in two dimensions.

OICC PRESS Micromagnetic analysis of Heusler alloy-based perpendicular double barrier synthetic antiferromagnetic free layer MTJs Volume 9 (2015) Issue 3 2022 12 26 Micromagnetic analysis of Heusler alloy-based perpendicular double barrier synthetic antiferromagnetic free layer MTJs 10.1007/s40094-015-0181-9 EN Journal Article 2022 12 26 Abstract We investigate spin transfer torque switching in a perpendicular double barrier synthetic antiferromagnetic free layer MTJ stack using micromagnetic simulations. For the material used in free layers, we use two different Cobalt-based Heusler alloys and compare their performance on the basis of switching speed, thermal stability and Tunnel magnetoresistance. We show that for Heusler alloys switching from one state to other is significantly faster but they suffer from the drawback of low thermal stability.

OICC PRESS First principle study of the effect of defects on performance of single-molecule pentacene field effect transistors Volume 9 (2015) Issue 3 2022 12 26 First principle study of the effect of defects on performance of single-molecule pentacene field effect transistors 10.1007/s40094-015-0182-8 EN Journal Article 2022 12 26 AbstractIn this work, we have performed first principle study on a single-molecule pentacene field effect transistor and studied various oxygen- and hydrogen-induced defects in the same device configuration. Further, we have investigated the effect of these defects on the various electronic transport properties of the device and compared them with those of the original device along with reporting the negative differential region window and the peak-to-valley ratio in different cases. For this purpose, we have applied the density functional theory in conjugation with non-equilibrium green’s function (NEGF) formalism on a 14.11 Å pentacene device to obtain the I–V characteristics, conductance curves and transmission spectra in various device scenarios.

OICC PRESS Elastic and thermodynamical properties of cubic (3C) silicon carbide under high pressure and high temperature Volume 9 (2015) Issue 3 2022 12 23 Elastic and thermodynamical properties of cubic (3C) silicon carbide under high pressure and high temperature 10.1007/S40094-015-0183-7 EN Journal Article 2022 12 23 AbstractPressure-dependent first-order phase transition, mechanical, elastic, and thermodynamical properties of cubic zinc blende to rock-salt structures in 3C silicon carbide (SiC) are presented. An effective interatomic interaction potential for SiC is formulated. The potential for SiC incorporates long-range Coulomb, charge transfer interactions, covalency effect, Hafemeister and Flygare type short-range overlap repulsion extended up to the second-neighbour ions, van der Waals interactions and zero point energy effects. The developed potential including many body non-central forces validates the Cauchy discrepancy successfully to explain the high-pressure structural transition, and associated volume collapse. The 3C SiC ceramics lattice infers mechanical stiffening, thermal softening, and ductile (brittle) nature from the pressure (temperature) dependent elastic constants behaviour. To our knowledge, these are the first quantitative theoretical predictions of the pressure and temperature dependence of mechanical and thermodynamical properties explicitly the mechanical stiffening, thermally softening, and brittle/ductile nature of 3C SiC and still awaits experimental confirmations.
