A model was presented for linear susceptibility in ladder-plus-Y configuration of double quantum dot system using density matrix theory and including spontaneously generated coherence of Λ-type system. Wetting layer and quantum dot inhomogeneity were considered in the calculations, which gives a practical description of double quantum dot structures well. With increasing spontaneously generated coherence from Λ-component, the dispersion was increased and shifted under spontaneously generated coherence. The inclusion of wetting layer under spontaneously generated coherence increases gain which coincides with the published results. A possibility of slow light was predicted.

In this article, the fully developed steady state flow of an incompressible fluid pertained to as viscoelastic nanofluid model with radiation effects through a penetrable plate is studied. Continuity, momentum and energy equations are elaborated to comprehend the nature of the fluid flow. By using similarity transformations, the solution of arising governing equations is obtained numerically with the assistance of a shooting technique. Furthermore, the consequences of different parameters, that is, Brownian motion parameter, Weissenberg number, thermophoresis parameter, permeability parameter, non-Newtonian parameter and radiation parameter on concentration, velocity and temperature fields, are canvassed with the help of graphs. The effects of Pr and γ on Nusselt number and N b and γ on Sherwood number are also discussed with the assistance of graphs and tables for different values of dimensionless parameters.

To provide a deeper insight of the transport phenomena inherent to the manufacturing of magnetic nano-polymer materials, in the present work a mathematical model is developed for time-dependent hydromagnetic rheological nano-polymer boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a stretching sheet in the presence of a transverse static magnetic field. Joule heating (Ohmic dissipation) and viscous heating effects are included since these phenomena arise frequently in magnetic materials processing. Stokes’ couple stress model is deployed to simulate non-Newtonian microstructural characteristics. The Tiwari–Das nanoscale model is adopted which permits different nanoparticles to be simulated (in this article, both copper–water and aluminium oxide–water nanofluids are considered). Similarity transformations are utilized to convert the governing partial differential conservation equations into a system of coupled, non-linear ordinary differential equations with appropriate wall and free stream boundary conditions. The shooting technique is used to solve the reduced non-linear coupled ordinary differential boundary value problem via MATLAB symbolic software. Validation with published results from the literature is included for the special cases of non-dissipative and Newtonian nanofluid flows. Fluid velocity and temperature profiles for both copper and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nanofluids are observed to be enhanced with greater non-Newtonian couple stress parameter and magnetic parameter, whereas the opposite trend is computed with greater values of unsteadiness parameter. The boundary layer flow is accelerated with increasing buoyancy parameter, elastic sheet stretching parameter and convection parameter. Temperatures are generally increased with greater couple stress rheological parameter and are consistently higher for the aluminium oxide nanoparticle case. Temperatures are also boosted with magnetic parameter and exhibit an overshoot near the wall when magnetic parameter exceeds unity (magnetic force exceeds viscous force). A decrease in temperatures is induced with increasing sheet stretching parameter. Increasing Eckert number elevates temperatures considerably. With greater nanoparticle volume fraction, both skin friction and Nusselt number are elevated, and copper nanoparticles achieve higher magnitudes than aluminium oxide.

A mathematical model is presented for the nonlinear steady, forced convection, hydromagnetic flow of electro-conductive magnetic nanopolymer with magnetic induction effects included. The transformed two-parameter, non-dimensional governing partial differential equations for mass, momentum, magnetic induction and heat conservation are solved with the local non-similarity method subject to appropriate boundary conditions. Keller’s implicit finite difference “box” method is used to validate solutions. Computations for four different nanoparticles and three different base fluids are included. Silver nanoparticles in combination with various base fluids enhance temperatures and induced magnetic field and accelerate the flow. An elevation in magnetic body force number decelerates the flow, whereas an increase in magnetic Prandtl number elevates the magnetic induction. Furthermore, increasing nanoparticle solid volume fraction is found to substantially boost temperatures. Applications of the study arise in advanced magnetic solar nanomaterials (fluids) processing technologies.

The influence of doping level of tin oxide films with different amounts of CuO additives (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) on structural, optical, and electrical properties is investigated. The films were prepared by pulsed-laser deposition method. X-ray diffraction patterns show the polycrystalline structure for all films with tetragonal phase for SnO2 and monoclinic phase for CuO, and no reaction between them. The surface morphology of films was analyzed and it revealed nano-sized grains for samples doped with 10% and 15% CuO. Hall’s effect measurements show increasing conductivity with increase in the CuO ratio and transfer the type of charge carriers from n- to p-type with 20% CuO. The H2S sensing properties are influenced by the CuO ratio in the SnO2 films as well as the operation temperature. The SnO2 sensor loaded with 10% CuO is extremely sensitive to H2S and the best operation temperature is 50°C, and it exhibits fast response speed of 7 s and recovery time of 20 s for trace level (10 ppm) H2S gas detection.

The present study investigates the interfacial behavior of functionalized carbon nanotube–polyethylene nanocomposite at different temperatures using molecular dynamics simulations, utilizing the second-generation polymer consistent force field. The carboxylic acid group is used to functionalize the carbon nanotube. In order to calculate interfacial interaction energy and interfacial shear strength of the nanocomposite, various pull-out tests are performed at different temperatures in the range of 1–400 K. The effect of functionalization on the interfacial interaction energy, interfacial shear strength, and glass transition temperature of the nanocomposite are studied in comparison to pristine carbon nanotube–reinforced nanocomposite. Results reveal that for all temperatures and degrees of functionalization, the chirality (i.e. armchair and zigzag) of carbon nanotube has a significant effect on interfacial interaction energy and interfacial shear strength of the nanocomposite. It is also found that functionalizing the carbon nanotube in carbon nanotube–polyethylene nanocomposite enhances its interfacial shear strength at different temperatures. Furthermore, a sudden drop in the value of interfacial interaction energy and interfacial shear strength of the pristine as well as functionalized carbon nanotube–reinforced nanocomposite is observed at a temperature near to its glass transition temperature.

Unsteady three-dimensional laminar stagnation point forced convective boundary layer magnetohydrodynamic flow of a bionanofluid with variable transport properties is studied theoretically and numerically. Thermal convective and zero mass flux boundary conditions are incorporated in this study. The transport properties are assumed to be a function of nanoparticle volume fraction to get physically realistic results. The dimensional boundary layer equations along with the coupled boundary conditions are transformed via similarity transformations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth-, fifth-order numerical method. The effect of selected governing parameters, namely, viscosity, thermal conductive, mass diffusivity, microorganism diffusivity, magnetic field and bioconvection Schmidt number, on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction, microorganism, skin friction coefficient, heat transfer rate, mass transfer rate and microorganism transfer rate, is illustrated graphically and interpreted in detail. Comparisons with previous works are carried out for some limiting cases and found to be in good agreement.

In this article, the steady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting bio-nanofluid over a stretching/shrinking wedge in the presence of passively control boundary condition, Stefan blowing and multiple slips is numerically investigated. Magnetic induction is also taken into account. The governing conservation equations are rendered into a system of ordinary differential equations via appropriate similarity transformations. The reduced system is solved using a fast, convergent Chebyshev collocation method. The influence of selected parameters on the dimensionless velocity, induced magnetic field, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction and density of motile microorganisms as well as on the local skin friction, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number and density of motile microorganism numbers is discussed and presented graphically. Validation with previously published results is performed and an excellent agreement is found. The study is relevant to electromagnetic manufacturing processes involving bio-nanofluids.

This article is intended to study the peristaltic motion of a Prandtl nanoliquid through an inclined tapered asymmetric channel. The simultaneous effects such as magnetic field, thermal radiation and chemical reactions have been considered. The geometrical model is considered as tapered asymmetric channel because this situation is observed in the flow of uterine fluid in the uterus. The equations governing the flow are simplified under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The simplified equations are complex in nature, so that the numerical solutions are presented for the simplified nonlinear partial differential equations considering slip and convective boundary conditions using computational software Mathematica via shooting method. The sundry parameters on the flow quantities have been discussed in detail through graphical and tabular forms. The observed results show that rise in the magnetic effects leads to a reduction in velocity. The radiation parameter decreases the temperature and there is an increment in the pressure gradient with an increase in energy Grashof number. This study is encouraged by exploring the nanofluid dynamics in peristaltic transport as symbolized by heat transport in biological flows, novel pharmacodynamic pumps and gastrointestinal motility enhancement.

A new technique to extract nanoscale powders from thin films deposited by a physical vapor deposition method on nonmetallic substrates is proposed. Powders were extracted from films of different materials, such as silicon, nickel, copper, iron, aluminum and cobalt, and compounds, such as aluminum nitride, aluminum oxide, copper oxide, iron oxide, nickel cobaltite, nickel ferrite, nickel oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride and silicon oxide. These thin films were deposited on glass substrates by magnetron sputtering, pulsed-laser deposition, spray pyrolysis or thermal evaporation, and the particle sizes of the extracted powders were comparable to those of film samples. This technique is fast, low cost, reliable, highly clean and appropriate for large-scale samples.
