By varying the width of inserted material as well as the host material, we also calculate the effective parameters of NIM like effective permittivity and effective permeability. Using these parameters, we calculate the effective refractive index and impedance of the considered medium. Our results reveal that the negative index of materials can be achieved when the thickness of the host materials should equal to the thickness of the inserted materials.

The E7 LC parameters have positive as well as negative values of order parameter and birefringence under the influence for an electric field. The director angle of E7 LC shows fast fluctuations above the angle θ=45° and due to rapid change in the orientation of molecules, fast electro-optical switching devices based on E7 LC can be designed. The refractive index of the E7 LC maintains stability in THz frequency.

To understand the optical properties of the single NIM layer, we have studied the propagation of electromagnetic wave through a medium of single NIM layer which is sandwiched between two dielectric materials. By using simple translational matrix method, the optical properties of the structure have calculated in the effect of thickness and plasma frequency of the NIM layer. The zero-refractive index, transmittance and dispersion of the structure are controlled by the thickness and the separation between the electric and magnetic plasma frequencies of NIM layer. The study of the electromagnetic wave propagation through the single negative index material may help to study the unusual behavior of the periodic structure containing NIMs. The study reveals that the single NIM layer can be used to make controlled optical devices (like Omni-dir...

The sensing element is observed to be poorly responsive towards LPG in dark conditions at room temperature, while it reveals a good photo response in presence of visible light of 30 mW/cm2, and the visible light aids in improving the LPG sensing response up to a great extent at room temperature. Under the irradiation, the nanorods are found to detect the presence of LPG molecules of concentration as small as 0.5 vol.% at the response and recovery times ~5.02 sec and ~10.10 sec respectively. The sensitivity of the visible-light induced material was evaluated ~ 41.27 sensor response/vol.% with the maximum sensor response as high as 108, whereas, in dark, the same material showed a maximum response of ~6.64 with a sensitivity of merely 1.94 sensor response/vol.%. The photo-generated carriers are suggested to be responsible for achieving a significant, stable, fast response in presence of LPG. This is the first ferrite based visible light-induced LPG sensor.

Research paper thumbnail of Co-precipitation Synthesis with a Variation of the Sulphur Composition of Kesterite Phase Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZSS) without Annealing Process

Journal of Physical Science

Unstable sulphur and the co-existence of binary and ternary phases in CZSS are the main obstacles for a single-phase kesterite quaternary compound. To overcome these issues, the researchers are synthesising the CZSS in presence of sulphur and selenium environment. The sulphurization and selenization are the constraints for the synthesis of CZSS and these processes make it costlier. In the present work, the wet-chemical method (i.e., co-precipitation method) was used to synthesise CZSS without vacuum annealing where the sulphur constituent was controlled by changing the stoichiometric ratio. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman analysis confirm that the synthesised CZSS was in polycrystalline and single-phase kesterite nature. The average crystallite sizes for...

The refractive index expresses stability in the nematic, smectic, and isotropic phases. The director angle maintains stability for the nematic phase in the adverse order and smectic phase stable in positive order.

Here Ni0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4 (NZF) works as a highly sensitive LPG sensor which can detect LPG well below the lowest explosion limit (LEL) efficiently. The self-healing phenomenon has been achieved by urea-formaldehyde (U-F) microcapsules encapsulating NZF and linseed oil. The dual-layered self-healable sensing film is prepared by forming a lower layer using urea-formaldehyde (U-F) microcapsules capturing linseed oil and NZF, serving as healing layer, and an upper layer using NZF aiding sensing phenomenon. LPG sensing parameters like sensitivity, sensor response, recovery time and response time were investigated in case of both uncracked sample and healed sample to get a clear idea of how much sensing properties were recovered after healing took place. The minimum response and recovery times of the uncracked film corresponding to 0.5 vol.% LPG concentrations were found to be 28.08 s and 52.46 s respectively, whereas, the same after healing were as 34.39 s and 45.17 s respectively. After healing, ∼ 86.4 % sensitivity was restored. This is the first dual-layered microcapsule-based LPG sensor, which has healing property.

We argue that a type of syllogism judged as invalid by criteria of formal logics-denoted as Erasmus syllogism-could be rather common in reasoning, and that these logically invalid interferences may contribute to significant innovations. Situations where syllogisms are not recognized as invalid by the involved actors seem to be more prevalent when e.g. the actors are unfamiliar with the semantic content (as e.g. abstract symbols). We argue that understanding of semiotic conditions for occurrence of formal logically invalid syllogism, as well as of the neglect of their invalidity by involved actors in ongoing discourses and reasoning, may contribute to a better understanding of how ideas and objects are translated, within organizations as well as in general. The discussion is a contribution to better understanding of why and how ideas are altered as part of ongoing sense making processes within organizations.

The transmission spectra versus frequency have been analyzed for symmetric and asymmetric structure. Due to have a multiple band gaps in the asymmetric structure, we have taken the asymmetric structure for analysis with the parameters of MCP and the thicknesses of the dielectric materials. It is well known that magnetized cold plasma is an abnormal material because the permittivity changes with applied external magnetic field, and shows tunable photonic band gap for permittivity of the MCP. Now, the transmission spectra of the asymmetric structure versus frequency by inserting one or two magnetized cold plasma layer were analyzed with the variation of incident angles, the parameters of MCP, and the thicknesses of ZnS and TiO2 material. The analyzed transmission spectra of asymmetric structure with the variation of electron density, thicknesses of dielectric materials were obtained better results with defect of two plasma layers as compare to the defect of one layer of plasma. These obtained results reveal that the defect of two magnetized cold plasma layers of one dimensional asymmetric structure of ZnS, TiO2 may be used for the tunable multichannel filter at microwave region.
