The proposed design consists of silicon rods with a diameter of 200 nm in the X and Z directions, which are 61 × 61 silicon rods. The Refractive Index (RI) of silicon is n = 3.48 at λ = 1.55 mm and the number of air holes along the direction is 33 × 33. It was found that the photonic crystal fibers used the photonic band gap phenomenon to guide light but rather an area of the fiber core with a lower refractive index of 0.9 nm. It is important to note that there are low bend losses in 2D photonic crystal fibers, enabling response to small changes in the magnetic fluid viscosity, refractive index, and other physical parameters. The flow of electromagnetic energy, indicated by the Poynting vector (s), indicates that the magnitude of the power carrier per unit area in the direction of S is approximately 1.23 W/m 2 .

Research paper thumbnail of Hybrid Nickel Ferrite Nanotubes Doped Polyaniline Nanocomposite and Its Dielectric Properties

The structural and surface morphology characterizations were carried out by Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. FTIR spectra show the characteristic peaks of benzenoid ring, quinoid ring, and nickel ferrite stretching of tetrahedral and octahedral sites. XRD pattern shows the cubic spinal structure of NiFe 2 O 4 nanotubes and it remaining undistorted even after dispersion in a polyaniline matrix. The SEM image of 15 wt.% nanocomposite shows that the polyaniline coated nickel ferrite nanotubes form a length about 100 nm. Furthermore, the DC conductivity shows three steps conductivity feature and among all prepared nanocomposites, the 15 wt.% shows high conductivity of 1.89 S/cm. This is due to high absorption at activation energy of 0.213 9 10 À2 J/mol and elongation of nanocomposites chain length which is confirmed from the negative thermal coefficient (NTC) graph. The vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) study shows the saturation magnetization decrease after formation of polyaniline nanocomposite. The dielectric properties were analyzed by impedance analyzer, and it was found that 15 wt.% nanocomposite shows the lowest dielectric constant and dielectric loss as a result of high ac conductivity of about 1.32 S/cm which is due to the sharp drop in bulk resistance and low relaxation time of 0.1375 ls as evidenced from the cole-cole plot.

The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction for molecular and crystal structures. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images show the tubular structure of polyaniline nanocomposite with embedded metal oxides. The electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites increases with increase in temperature as well as with concentration of Nd 2 O 3 :Al 2 O 3 particles in polyaniline. This is because of the hopping of charge polarons and extended chain length of the nanocomposites as evidenced by the negative thermal coefficient (NTC) characteristic. A high NTC value of 2.67 was found in nanocomposites with 15 wt% of oxide particles. These nanocomposites show low dielectric constant and dielectric loss; the electrical conductivity is higher than 0.3 S/cm as confirmed by Cole-Cole plot that indicates a decrease in both grain resistance and bulk resistance of the nanocomposites. The current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements were also carried out. The carrier mobility μ values of pure polyaniline and nanocomposites were found to be 4.27 × 10 À3 and 1.45 × 10-2 H.M À1 , respectively. A significant enhancement in carrier mobility was observed in comparison with the literature.

The properties of these composites have been discussed based on different characterizations such as scanning electron microscopy, FTIR, and dielectric studies. The important peaks of benzenoid and quinoid rings in the spectrum confirm the formation of composites. Scanning electron microscopic studies indicate that the morphology of the prepared composites was influenced by different weight ratios of GO in OPANI and the resulting micrographs of these composites exhibited flaky and folded structures. The electrical conductivity study was carried out and found that 6 wt% of GO in PANI shows high conductivity value of 20 Â 10 À2 S/cm. The obtained results suggest an easy approach to prepare such novel nanocomposites with excellent dielectric properties which can be used in many technological applications.

The prepared composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. FTIR study shows the characteristic vibrational bands of the PEO and dopant metal chlorate, confirms the formation polymer composites.

From dielectric studies it is observed that the permittivity and dielectric loss value decreases with increase in frequency. Electrochemical cells parameters shows that 25 wt% of PEOMg(ClO3�2 composite has high charge density, open circuit voltage and polarization current with respective to the charging time.

Antibacterial activity, structural, dielectric and magnetic properties were investigated. An assay showed the broad spectrum antibacterial activity of Cu-Cd-Ni-FeO 4 against Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic bacterial strains. The existence of single phase cubic spinel structure of ferrites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurement. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy shows the two main absorption bands at lower frequency region. Surface morphology and compositional features were studied by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis, respectively. Results indicated that the nanosize particles greatly influenced the antibacterial activity, as well as structural, dielectric and magnetic properties of the samples. Magnetic measurements of the samples were carried out by means of vibrating sample magnetometry and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Magnetic properties are strongly affected by Ni 2+ substitution.

The composites were prepared by a solution casting technique. The dispersion and functionalization of the ZnO nanoparticles in the composite films were characterized by spectroscopic technique. The surface morphology of the PVA/ZnO nanocomposites films were elucidated using AFM. The charge transport properties were evaluated based on the dielectric and impedance spectroscopy techniques. Low ZnO loading composite shows low dielectric value at higher frequency and behaves as a lossless material. The complex impedance spectra suggest the change in conductivity, due to the change in bulk resistance of the materials and less relaxation time. Thus, all PVA/ZnO nanocomposites behave as lossless materials above 10 6 Hz indicating the composites are useful in microwave application.

The filter process is to remove the noise in original signal or image. THE LEAST MEAN SQUARE (LMS) adaptive filter is the most popular and most widely used adaptive filter because of its simplicity and also for satisfactory convergence performance. But conventional LMS adaptive filter involves a long critical path due to an inner-product computation to obtain the filter output. That critical path is required to be reduced by pipelined implementation called delayed LMS (DLMS) adaptive filter. The conventional delayed LMS adaptive filter architecture occupies more area, more power wastage and less performance then compare with this proposed architecture. From the critical path evaluation, it is shown that no pipelining is required for implementing a direct form LMS adaptive filter for most practical cases, and can be realized with a very small adaptation delay in cases ...
