A Sagnac interferometer minimizes this sensitivity by having the two beams follow opposite trajectories, so that a mirror displacement gives a similar phase change for both paths, but makes it impossible to insert an element that affects only one path. We present a new kind of interferometer, the Star interferometer, where the two beams still interact with all the optical elements while having different trajectories. We obtain a common phase change in both trajectories by having a different number of turns for each path. Having independent access to both trajectories makes it possible to determine the phase change due to a sample inserted in one of the paths, opening new possibilities for interferometric configurations that maintain a reduced sensitivity to displacements of the optical elements.","PeriodicalId":21538,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana De Fisica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49454593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We see that the energy levels and the radial wave functions get modified by the topological defect of a point-like global monopole and the magnetic flux field that shows an analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm effect for the bound state.

This facile and effective approach has been proven to be very useful for the fabrication of inexpensive, high-performance electrochemical devices. To achieve uniform deposition of the nanocomposite films, the three components of the nanocomposites were mixed under controlled conditions. The impact of different GO loading on the PVP/Cu/GO composites was measured using UV–visible spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, SEM, EDX, and four-point probe techniques to evaluate their optical, structural, morphological, compositional, and electrical properties, respectively. UV-visible analysis shows that the optical band gap (Eg) of the nanocomposite decreased from 3.51 to 2.02 eV with increasing GO loading. All of the nanocomposites showed UV absorbance of ≈450 nm. According to the XRD results, the GO materials were very well dispersed in the PVP/Cu/GO composites, while also revealing the crystalline nature of the nanocomposites. The SEM results revealed spherical-shaped grains of the deposited films, while the EDX results revealed the major elements deposited. Four-point probe analysis of the nanocomposites revealed slight increase in conductivity with low GO content, thus confirming the semiconducting properties of the nanocomposites with the GO content. The obtained results herein shows that the PVP/Cu/GO nanocomposites are successfully synthesized with attractive physiochemical properties suitable for the fabrication of organic electronic devices and photovoltaic devices.","PeriodicalId":21538,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana De Fisica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48668032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results model correctly predicted that in 80.0%, 90.5%, and 95.2% of the cases, there were routine dose area product (DAP) levels, and in 64.3%, 33.3%, and 77.8% of cases, there were high levels of DAP, giving an overall percentage, correct prediction rate of 72.45%, 73.35%, and 90.0%, for coronary angiography (CA), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and combined CA with PCI (CA/PCI), respectively. All the factors studied in this research, namely Kv, mA, Fluoroscopy Time (FT) and Body Mass Index (BMI), have a significant relationship with the DAP level.

Therefore, these excellent properties make graphene a favorable candidate for novel plasmonic devices and potential applications in photonics, optoelectronics and sensor technologies. In this work, theoretical investigations are carried out to in Graphene-Metal-Graphene structure for enhanced surface plasmon resonance based on the recurrence relations’ method. We find that the graphene-metal-graphene structure supports both high-energy optical plasmon oscillations and out-of-phase low energy acoustic charge density excitations. Since a high performance of surface plasmon resonance excitations should exhibit a large depth of dip (small reflectivity), the minimum of reflectivity in the hybrid structure can be manipulated dynamically by changing the thickness of the metallic film, the number of the graphene layers and the dielectric proprieties of the surrounding dielectric materials. Based on this principle, different kinds of plasmonic sensors have been designed in previous years.","PeriodicalId":21538,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana De Fisica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48329601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four different diameters of nanowires were considered and the surface hydrogen atoms were replaced by Li ones using a sequential process. The results indicate that the nanowires have a semiconductor behaviour and the energy band gap diminishes when the number of Li atoms per unit cell increases. The formation energy results reveal that the Li atoms increase the stability of the Ge nanowires, and there is a charge transfer from the Li atoms to the surface Ge atoms. The open circuit voltage values are almost independent of the concentration of Li atoms. On the other hand, the lithium storage capacity results reveal that the Ge nanowires could be good candidates to be incorporated as anodic materials in the new generation of rechargeable batteries.","PeriodicalId":21538,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana De Fisica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49585168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
