For the first time, this study reports the results of the fourth virial coefficient over the Kihara potential. The proposed method can be used to calculate the thermodynamics properties of gases with developed correctness. The method is tested for some molecules and as an example of application, the proposed method has been performed for gases of C3H8 and SF6. The obtained calculation results have been compared with the theoretical and experimental data and the results have been found to be consistent with the literature data. It can be seen from the application that the calculation of the fourth virial coefficient with the Kihara potential can provide important results in the calculation of the thermophysical properties of other real systems.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90589186","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}

From the steady-state solutions of vortex dynamics equations and the relation for current density, a non-force-free triple Beltrami (TB) relaxed state equation is derived. The TB state is characterized by three scale parameters that consequently provide three different self-organized structures. The analysis of the relaxed state shows that for specific values of generalized helicities, the disparity in relativistic temperature and the existence of a small fraction of static positive ions in pair plasma can transform the nature of scale parameters. Moreover, an analytical solution of the TB state for an axisymmetric cylindrical geometry with an internal conductor configuration demonstrates that due to asymmetries of temperature and density of plasma species, diamagnetic structures can transform into paramagnetic ones and vice versa. The present study will improve our understanding of pair plasmas in trap-based plasma confinement experiments and astrophysical environments.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88896667","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}

The chaotic features for different system parameters are investigated in detail. The monotonic variation of the coefficients of parametric excitation and non-smooth periodic disturbance is found. With numerical methods, we validate the analytical results obtained by Melnikov’s method. The impact of initial conditions is carefully analyzed by basins of attraction and the effect of non-smooth periodic disturbance on the basin of attraction is also investigated.

Herein, we report a new white light emitting phosphor, SrCeO3: xSm3+ (x = 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%) from a blue light emitting phosphor, SrCeO3 using an efficient, low energy consuming fuel excess gel combustion technique. From the XRD crystallographic investigation, all the synthesised samples have orthorhombic structure with space group Pnma. A broad absorption band in the UV–visible spectra around 350 nm occurs due to the efficient energy transfer from Ce4+ to Sm3+ ion. PL spectra analysis at UV excitations 280 nm and 406 nm, consist of 4f-Sm3+ transitions 4G5/2-6H5/2, 4G5/2-6H7/2, 4G5/2-6H9/2 and charge transfer band from O2− to Ce4+. The energy transfer between activator ions occurs through dipole–dipole interaction, owing to concentration quenching after 2 wt% Sm3+ and the optimised dopant concentration was 2 wt%. SrCe0.98Sm0.02O3 showed mixed blue-yellow-orange-red emission, owing near white light under both excitations. PL data were utilised to find the color parameters and found high color rendering index (CRI ∼ 84) for optimised sample at 406 nm excitation. SEM analysis reveals that the optimised sample exhibit dense ensembled morphology with well-defined grain boundaries and uniformity with average grain size ∼1.24 μm. Further, the elemental composition was confirmed using EDS analysis. From the digital photographs of samples, it is foreseen that, SrCe0.98Sm0.02O3 pumped using near UV LED chip can be used for commercial white light generation.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77558115","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}

The second order elastic constants are used to compute the mechanical properties and ultrasonic velocities of the chosen materials. Additionally, the thermal properties have also been evaluated along different orientations. Thermoelastic loss is very small in comparison to the attenuation due to phonon-phonon interaction mechanism at room temperature.

Compositional analysis showed that although Ni was the highest concentration in solution at low potentials of −1.0 V and −1.5 V, the Ni content was lower than the Co content in the films. Anomalous co-deposition behaviour of iron group metals was observed. When the deposition potential increased to −2.0 V and −2.5 V, the Ni content of films increased while the Co, Fe and Cu content decreased. In the case of saccharin addition to the solution, there is a slight change in the film content. All films have face-centred cubic structure. Structural analysis clearly showed that the potential has a significant effect on the texture degree of the films, since the crystal texture changed from (111) to (220) with increasing potential. The surface morphology of the films was observed to be affected by the deposition potential and saccharin concentration. For the magnetic analysis, saturation magnetisation, Ms value gradually decreased from 905 to 715 emu/cm3 with the variation of film content caused by the increase of the potential from −1.0 V to −2.5 V. And, a slight increase in Ms was detected with the addition of saccharin. Besides, the longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistance magnitudes increased from ∼2.5 % to 7.0 % with increasing deposition potential and all films exhibit anisotropic magnetoresistance. Films with desired magnetic properties can be obtained for potential use as magnetic materials in electronics such as magnetoresistive devices.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88828724","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}

The comparison results of the proposed method and conventional multivariate multiscale complexity-entropy causality plane (MMCECP) confirm the stability performance of the proposed RCMMCECP. Above all, the RCMMCECP enhances the reliability of the statistical complexity measure over large time scales and exhibits good continuity and noise-resistant ability in multiscale analysis.

The FTIR and EDX investigations revealed the formation of NiFe2O4-NPs as indicated by the elemental composition and the bonding patterns. Some remarkable properties, including the growth of crystallite size and lattice parameters, were reached due to the extract addition, as revealed further by XRD examination. The sorption results were consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model, and the kinetic data were in accordance with pseudo-second-order kinetics. As a result of the electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged NiFe2O4-NPs surface and the positively charged Ba (II) ions, the adsorption process improved significantly above pHzc.
