Sulfur compounds are an important class of chemical molecules. It can be used in various areas of chemistry. As a result of the widespread of pharmaceutical compounds containing sulfur, it gave great importance, as there are many drugs that have been developed, such as mafenide, sulfacetamide, Sulfadiazine, sulfamethazine, Sulfasalazine, sulfisoxazole. The study dealt with collecting the most important methods of preparing organic sulfur compounds. The focus was on thiols, thiones and sulfones, and a comparison was made between the pharmaceutical compounds that are included in their compositions in terms of synthesis and medical uses as antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer cells.","PeriodicalId":20803,"journal":{"name":"Rafidain journal of science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75819227","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}

In this paper, four designs of three-element cylindrical electrostatic lenses in the acceleration and deceleration mode with different geometrical shapes were created to prove how the operational characteristics of the lenses are affected by the electrode geometry according to potentials, the electron beam diameter in the image plane, kinetic energy, velocity, and acceleration before and after the electron beam passes through each of the four lenses. The best lens is chosen from the four lenses based on its optical performance. It has been found that the lens with the concave outer electrode surface has the best optical performance as an accelerating lens, and the lens with the concave inner electrode surface has the best optical performance as a decelerating lens. It was discovered that the geometry of the electrodes plays a major role in minimizing the beam electron diameter at the image plane and in accelerating and decelerating the electron beam. The calculations are carried out by using the SIMION8.0 and SL Tools Programs package.","PeriodicalId":20803,"journal":{"name":"Rafidain journal of science","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75010470","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}

In this work, the fusion cross-sections of closed-shell heavy-ion fusion systems have been calculated and analyzed in the framework of coupled channel theory, using the code CCFULL, by fixing the potential depth value = 102.9 MeV and the fusion radius = 1.096 , while, the diffuseness parameter of Wood--Saxon potential is varied from 0.6 to 1.1 to fitting the fusion cross-section data at energies near and below the Coulomb barrier.
