This is a very creative fractal design of a multiband THz antenna, based on a very thin graphene layer, the study proved a value in terms of high radiation efficiency and high gain, at the level of current research we made a comparison study where the design has evidently huge potential regarding applicability for telecommunication technology in the terahertz regime. The demand for high-performance terahertz (THz) antennas has increased significantly in recent years due to their potential applications in various fields such as medical imaging, security screening, and wireless communications. In this paper, the authors present an analysis of a graphene Pythagoras Tree Fractal (GPTF) antenna with a thin SiO2 substrate for THz regime. The GPTF antenna is designed using a fractal geometry approach, which provides multiple resonant frequencies and enhances the overall radiation efficiency. The thin SiO2 substrate is used to reduce the substrate losses and improve the radiation performance of the antenna. The authors use the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) software to simulate the performance of the proposed antenna. The results show that the proposed antenna exhibits high gain, low return loss, and wide bandwidth, making it a promising candidate for THz applications.","PeriodicalId":31012,"journal":{"name":"Annals of West University of Timisoara Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88823942","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}

This can contribute to the improvement of internal thermal comfort for buildings and this by lower energy consumption. For this, several experiments were carried out at the laboratory, to find the thermal properties of a new innovative building material produced by inserting ALFA (STIPA TENACISSIMA) into a concrete slab. Several mass percentages of ALFA relative to the total mass of the concrete slab (0%, 0.4%, 0.8%, 1.2% and 1.6%) were studied to see the effect of the introduced quantity of this plant on the thermal conductivity of concrete. It was concluded that the insertion of ALFA in the concrete, decreases considerably the thermal conductivity. The best results are noticed for 1.2% of ALFA, whose thermal conductivity of the concrete is reduced up to 50.61%. As a result, heat gains and losses, through wall or slab, are significantly reduced, which reduces the energy consumed by cooling and heating of homes. In addition, the degree-day method was used to calculate the costs of cooling and heating energy for 58 regions in Algeria. The lowest total energy cost is noticed in the TENES region, while the highest energy cost is noticed in the BORDJ B. MOKHTAR region.","PeriodicalId":31012,"journal":{"name":"Annals of West University of Timisoara Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90538829","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 PV2-state model links an empirical model for estimating the PV power delivered by a PV system under clear-sky with a model for forecasting the relative position of the Sun and clouds. Sunshine number (SSN), a binary quantifier showing if the Sun shines or not, is used as a measure for the Sun position with respect to clouds. A physics-based approach to intra-hour forecasting, processing cloud field information from an all-sky imager, is applied to predict SSN. The quality of SSN prediction conditions the overall quality of PV2-state forecasts. The PV2-state performance was evaluated against a challenging database (high variability in the state-of-the-sky, thin cloud cover, broken cloud field, isolated passing clouds) comprising radiometric data and sky-images collected on the Solar Platform of the West University of Timisoara, Romania. The investigation was performed from two perspectives: general model accuracy and, as a novelty, identification of characteristic elements in the state-of-the-sky which fault the SSN prediction. The outcome of such analysis represents the basis of further research aiming to increase the performance in PV power forecasting.","PeriodicalId":31012,"journal":{"name":"Annals of West University of Timisoara Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88558478","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 exchange-correlation potential is treated with generalized gradient approximation (GGA-PBE). Additionally, the Tran Blaha modified Becke-Johnson exchange potential (TB-mBJ) is employed, because it gives very accurate results of the band gap in solids. Our results reveal that all compounds are energetically and mechanically stable. It is found that for Y concentrations less than 30%, the favored structure is a Zinc blende-like one, while for Y concentrations greater than 30%, the favored structure is a NaCl-like structure. The substitution of In by Y is found to be able to enlarge the direct bandgap of about 34% (from 1.43 eV to 2.17 eV) and confirms the semiconductor behavior for zinc blende stable structures. The absorption coefficient is reasonably exceeding 105 cm−1 for YxIn1-xP alloys in the case (x=0 and x=25%). The reflectivity shows less than 30% around the energy value of 2 eV and an efficiency of solar cell of 18% can be achieved for Y0.25In0.75P. Also, a thickness of L = 1μm is enough to confirm the experimental data. Regarding to the matching of lattice parameters (a mismatch < 4%) of InP and Y0.25In0.75P and the band gap energy difference made Y0.25In0.75P suitable for optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices in particularity as Tandem solar cells (Y0.25In0.75P/InP) and quantum well (Y0.25In0.75P/InP/Y0.25In0.75P) applications.
