In this paper, considering the plasma electronic exchange intraction effects, first, Thomas–Fermi equation has been solved numerically. Then, employing the results of these equations, the amount of exchange corrections for pressure and internal energy of the plasma (electron gas with specific atomic number) has been calculated based on variation of plasma density and temperature. The results of the calculations can be used in both quantitative and qualitative description of changing the phase of matter in high temperature and density, encountered with in theoretical and experimental studies of inertial fusion and astro physical phenomena as well.

In recent years, development of highly sensitive biosensors is the main purpose of researchers to diagnose and prevent diseases. Accordingly, in this paper, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor has been designed based on one dimensional layered structures. With regard to the fact that the quality of SPR sensors strongly depends on the reflectance amplitude and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the SPR curves, a novel structure, AWT IMAGE, is presented using transfer matrix method (TMM), to satisfy these two condition. Besides, the sensitivity of this biosensor has been calculated and it has been employed to diagnose leukemia for Jurkat cells.

In this study, drying process is modeled in porous media using random walk theory. In this line, first the effect of microscopic quantities derived from random walk theory has been studied on drying rate. Then, the relationship between drying rate and moisture content is obtained taking convection into account. The results obtained in this study indicates the effect of convection on the process of drying in porous media.

Expansion of one dimensional collision less plasma into vacuum is studied under different initial ions temperature. In this study, a simulation code is used, in which the electrons dynamic is determined by Vlasov equation and the ions dynamic is determined by fluids equations. Finally, the effect of initial ions temperature on the expansion of plasma into vacuum is investigated and the obtained results are compared with self-similar solutions associated with plasma expansion including thermal ions. It is shown that in the area behind the ion front, in which quasi-neutrality conditions exists, the self-similar solutions coincide with the simulation results.

In this paper, spin-dependent electrical transport properties are investigated in a single-crystal magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) which consists of two ferromagnetic Fe electrodes separated by an MgO insulating barrier. These properties contain electric current, spin polarization and tunnel magneto resistance (TMR). For this purpose, spin-dependent Hamiltonian is described for D1 and D5 bands in the transport direction. The transmission is calculated by Green' s function formalism based on a single-band tight-binding approximation. The transport properties are investigated as a function of the barrier thickness in the limit of coherent tunneling. We have demonstrated that dependence of the TMR on the applied voltage and barrier thickness. Our numerical results may be useful for designing of spintronic devices. The numerical results may be useful in designing of spintronic devices.

In this paper, formulation of Modified Ginsberg – Landau theory of second grade phase transitions has been expressed. Using this theory, termodynamic properties, such as heat capacity, energy, entropy and order parameters of AWT IMAGE and AWT IMAGE nuclei has been investigated. In the heat capacity curve, calculated according to tempreture, a smooth peak is observed which is assumed to be a signature of transition from the paired phase to the normal phase of the nuclei. The same pattern is also observed in the experimental data of the heat capacity of the studied nuclei. Calculations of this model shows that, by increasing tempreture, expectation value of the order parameter tends to zero with smoother slip, comparing with Ginsberg – Landau theory. This indicates that the pairing effect exists between nucleons even at high temperatures. The experimental data obtained confirms the results of the model qualitatively.

In this study, TiO2 nanocrystals were prepared by sol-gel method through the hydrolysis of the titanium tetraisopropoxide in n-heptan solution. The beneficial role of n-heptan solvent was the dilution of the reacting precursors. This could consequently create smaller TiO2 nanocrystals and a better powder effective area. The anatase phase TiO2 nanopowder was achieved by performing an annealing process at 450oC for 1h. Then, the TiO2 nanocrystals were added to an aqueous solution of polyethylene glycol with suitable concentration, as a pastiness factor, to form a viscous TiO2 paste. Finally the prepared paste was deposited on glass FTO substrates by standard doctor blade method and the photoanode of the dye sensitized solar cells was prepared. Then other steps, consisting of dye adsorption, preparation of platinum counter electrode and injection of AWT IMAGE electrolyte were performed. The results demonstrated that the energy conversion efficiency was maximum for the cell with 15 mm photoanode thickness. The photovoltaic parameters of this cell were measured as 12.44 mA/cm2 , 655 mV, 0.55 and 4.4 % for the Jsc, Voc, FF and efficiency, respectively.

It is expected that advanced fuels be employed in the second generation of nuclear fusion reactors. Theoretical calculations show that in such a fuel, a high plasma temperature about 100 keV is a requisite for reaction rate improvement of nuclear fusion. However, creating such a temporal condition requires a more powerful driver than we have today. Here, introducing an optimal fuel configuration consisting of DT and D-3He layers, suitable for inertial fusion reactors and driven by heavy ion beams, the optimal energy gain conditions have been simulated and derived for 1.3 MJ system. It was found that, in this new fuel configuration, the ideal energy gain, is 22 percent more comparing with energy gain in corresponding single DT fuel layer. Moreover, the inner DT fuel layer contributed as an ignition trigger, while the outer D3He fuel acts as particle and radiation shielding as well as fuel layer.

In this paper, relativistic Cherenkov radiation was studied in a 3-D magneto-dielectric medium. Electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of the medium as functions of frequency, are assumed to satisfy Kramers- Kronig equations. A new interaction Hamiltonian, which is different from Hamiltonian term in non-relativistic state, was introduced by the quantized vector potential field and particle field operator obtained from the second quantization method. The rate of electron energy dissipation was calculated using Fermi’s golden rule.

Gravitational waves are the last unconfirmed prediction of the general relativity. These waves are tiny fluctuations in world frame that dessipate energy throghout space. The gravitatinal waves spectra of fluctuations can be originated from the non-linear effects during different cosmic evolution periods, especially from initially non-linear and excited vacuum state in the very early universe. Based on this fact, in this paper introducing "excited-de Sitter vacuum" as a fundamental mode, the obtained power spectrum has been investigated. Corrected spectra obtained from Hilbert and Krein spaces are compared. The renormalization approach presented in this work, preserves the curved space-time symmetry and stimulates us to use excited de Sitter mode. Also, the corrections obtained from the non-linear mode includes the second-order corrections and in the linear limit accords with the results from conventional methods.

Using mean-field and semi-classical approximation of Thomas-Fermi, within a statistical model, equation of state and critical properties of symmetric nuclear matter is studied. In this model, two body and phenomenological interaction of Myers and Swiatecki is used in phase space. By performing a functional variation of the total Helmholtz free energy of system with respect to the nucleonic distribution function in phase space to reach an equilibrium state according to the second low of thermodynamics, we obtain expressions for the effective mass which is only density dependent and the effective one-body potential whereby the key quantity of the extended effective mass with both density and temperature dependency is determined. Accordingly, we reach to the explicit form of distribution function. In this mode, extensive thermodynamic quantities such as, inner energy, entropy and Helmholtz free energy are determined as the functionals of the distribution function for given temperature and density. In this research special attentions has been paid to the critical behavior and stability of symmetric nuclear matter. Our findings about the quantities which describe critical behavior of symmetric nuclear matter are in good agreement with other proposed models.

Coronal dimmings in both micro and macro scales, can be observed by extreme ultraviolet images, recorded from Solar Dynamics Observatory or Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (SDO/AIA). Mini-dimmings are sometimes associated with wave-like brightening, called coronal mass ejections. Here, the sun full disk images with 171  Å wavelenght, cadence of 2.5, and 0.6 arcsec cell size, were taken on 3 March 2012, then the obtained data were analyzed. Using Zernike Moment and Support Vector Machine (SVM), mini dimmings are detected.538 active region events, 680 coronal hole events and 723 quiet sun events have been recognized using algorithm. The position, time duration and spatial expansion of these events were computed.The eruptive dimmings have a more spatial development than thermal dimmings after eruptions. This is evident in their graph characteristics length. Then, using graph theory, eruptive and thermal mini-dimmings were classified, with 13% error, for 200 dimmings.68 dimmings were classified as thermal, and 132 as eruptive. To do this, evolution of graph characteristic length were used.

In this paper, the electronic transport of a graphene nanoribbon including a bond defect as well as a polyacetylene nanowire, including an extra bond, has been studied based on Green's function technique at the tight-binding approach. The results show that the behavior of electronic conductance is different in resonance and nonresonance cases with respect to variation of bond defect position. The conductance value at the zero energy tunes by variation of defect position, only for the cases which includes double bonds. These changes is more observable especially at the polyacetylene nanowires. The amount of antiresonance shift with respect to bond defect position, in conductance spectrum, strongly depends on type and shape of center wire structure.

In this paper, the propagation of a Gaussian and femtosecond laser pulse through a plasma channel is considered and the amount of induced chirp, as well as it’s type, on laser pulse frequency has been investigated. The group velocity dispersion (GVD) and relativistic effects has been taken into account in propagation equations. It is concluded that the relativistic effect induces positive chirp on laser pulse propagating into plasma channel for every initial chirp, while the GVD effect can induce a negative or positive chirp on laser pulse depending on initial chirp. As the relativistic effect overcomes on GVD in nonlinear region, the induced chirp would be positive. Comparing the results, it is concluded that propagating a laser pulse with initial positive chirp is more effective than a negative and un-chirped pulse for generating a higher wake field.
