In the present paper, authors have studied the effect of light absorption and critical beam power on self-focusing of Gaussian laser beam propagating through collisionless magnetized plasma. The field distribution in the medium is expressed in terms of beam-width parameter and absorption coefficient. Usual parabolic equation approach under WKB and paraxial approximations is employed to obtain the differential equation for beam width parameter. It is found that critical critical beam power and absorption coefficient play vital role in propagation of Gaussian laser beam in collisionless magnetized plasma. The behavior of beam-width parameter with the normalized distance of propagation is studied at various values of critical beam power with different absorption levels in magnetized plasma. The results are presented in the form of graphs and discussed.In the present paper, authors have studied the effect of light absorption and critical beam power on self-focusing of Gaussian laser beam propagating through collisionless magnetized plasma.

Organic pollutants such as pesticides, dyes used in agriculture and industries pollute the water on large scale. In order to solve the problem of water pollution caused by the agricultural pesticides its degradation process has been studied. For this purpose, pure-ZnO and La doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation method to observe photocatalytic response. Synthesized nanoparticles were unambiguously examined using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques for morphological and structural characterization. UV-visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) techniques for optical characterization. The average crystallite sizes of ZnO and La-doped ZnO NPs were ∼55 nm and 35 nm, respectively. For photocatalytic activity, monocrotophos which is an insecticide is aimed to degrade in normal water under u.v light illumination. Enhancement in photocatalytic degradation efficiency is observed in La-doped ZnO due to enhancement in the surface area.Organic pollutants such as pesticides, dyes used in agriculture and industries pollute the water on large scale.

The pastes of MWCNTs and Pt/MWCNTs CEs were coated on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates with doctor blade method whereas the Pt CE is prepared by drop casting method. The structural and catalytic properties of the CEs under reference were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Cyclic voltammetry (CV), respectively. Three DSSCs with these three different CEs having ZnO as a photoanode material were assembled in a sandwiched arrangement and the photovoltaic performance of these cells were measured with the help of solar simulator under standard conditions (1.5 Sun, 100 mW cm−2). The DSSC based on mixed Pt/MWCNTs CE exhibited the highest performance (η =3.78%) as compared to the cells based on Pt (η =2.69 %) and MWCNTs (η =2.26 %) CEs which are higher than the DSSCs made with conventional Pt CE.DSSCs based on three different counter electrodes (CEs) viz. platinum (Pt), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and mixed Pt/MWCNTs were prepared and their photovoltaic performance is compared.

Integration of polyaniline (PANI) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) resulting in PANI/rGO seems to be an effective way to eliminate the concern of cyclic stability attributed to the fragile back bone of polyaniline (PANI). Also, presence of aniline fibrils in the intervening layers of reduced graphene oxide enhances the conduction of the electrolytic ions in the resulting composite. The as-synthesized PANI/rGO composite shows an enhanced specific capacitance of 268 F g−1. All these results project PANI/rGO as an attractive electrode material for supercapacitor application.

Optical glasses with enhanced third order nonlinear attributes are promsing materials for photonic applications, particularly for optical limiting and switching devices. With the aim of obtaining enhanced nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, Eu3+ doped borate glasses have been prepared through method of melt quench. NLO properties of fabricated glasses were investigated using Z‒scan techinique as a function of Eu2O3 concentration at near-infrared (NIR) wavelength (800 nm) by utilising 150 femtosecond (fs) laser pulses generated at a repetetion rate of 80 MHz from sapphire laser. The investigated glasses demonstrated a reverse saturable absorption (RSA) type of behaviour in open aperture (OA) configuration and positive nonlinear refraction in closed aperture (CA) configuration. The retrieved NLO coefficients evidently demonstrate the studied glasses are competing materials for photonic applications under fs regime.Optical glasses with enhanced third order nonlinear attributes are promsing materials for photonic applications, particularly for optical limiting and switching devices.

Polymer composite from biowaste material have gained enough interest by its unique light weight, high strength, high corrosion resistance, affordability, pollution free, renewability and ecofriendly natures. These important factors are relevant to form an energy efficient domain which will boost the fuel economy in many engineering and industrial sectors. In present study, composite material has developed from waste chicken eggshells (CES). Existing hydrophilic semipermeable membrane in eggshell create trouble during the development of composite with hydrophobic matrix. So (CES)/matrix interface was modified by treating CES with sodium hydroxide chemical which better known as “Mercerization”. Structural, morphological, vibrational and mechanical properties were investigated both for untreated and treated CES particle as well as composites. Structural result showed an increase in crystallite size of ESP which indicated the additional crystal growth in crystalline region. A smooth surface with porous membrane were spotted from morphological study. Combinely, porous membrane and crystallite size increment facilitated the interfacial bonding between ESP/matrix which may cause the improvement in mechanical properties of composites.Polymer composite from biowaste material have gained enough interest by its unique light weight, high strength, high corrosion resistance, affordability, pollution free, renewability and ecofriendly natures.

The Fluorescence intensity ratio is investigated with laser pump power. The color CIE coordinates of the calcinedsample at different wavelength (380 and 976 nm) are calculated which shows almostinvariant and applicable as display device.

The prepared samples further calcined at 800 °C for better emission intensities. The FESEM image of calcined NChas used to analyse for the shape and size of particles. The agglomerated particles are investigated. The comparatives study of down conversion and up conversion behaviour of calcined NC are monitored, consequently, the red band dominated over the green band assigned at 656, 548 and 523 nm corresponding to 4F9/2 → 4I15/2, 4S3/2→4I15/2 and 2H11/2→4I15/2 transition, respectively. The Fluorescence intensity ratio is investigated with laser pump power. The color CIE coordinates of the calcinedsample at different wavelength (380 and 976 nm) are calculated which shows almostinvariant and applicable as display device.","PeriodicalId":7262,"journal":{"name":"ADVANCES IN BASIC SCIENCE (ICABS 2019)","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89579466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
