Here photonic band gaps are determined using transfer matrix method (TMM). Here, the impact of an additional linear magnetic field is determined on the band gaps of plasma photonic crystal with constant magnitude of square like periodic magnetic field, for normal incidence. We determine how the additional and magnetic magnetic field affects the photonic band structure (PBS) and reflectance for such extrinsic photonic crystal. It is noted that, as we increase the additional applied magnetic field, the central frequency of band gaps is shifted toward higher frequency regions in GHz. The band edge increases linearly with the applied magnetic field. The shifting in lower band edge less as compared to upper edge. Sensor is a device which detect the stimuli and give output, and many physical parameters can be measured by sensors. The shifting of band edges can be utilized in design of magnetic field sensor. Here shifting in band gaps by variation in the additional applied magnetic field are determined. The larger value of sensitivity gives a good result for sensing-based application. This analysis is based on the band gaps of extrinsic photonic crystal, and can be employed in design of magnetic field sensor with good sensitivity. Moreover, it can find applications in tunable optical devices.","PeriodicalId":37739,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84968458","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 thermal behaviour of natural fibres and composites has also been researched. The thermal degradation kinetics characteristics of composites made with phenol formaldehyde resin and reinforced with untreated Aak fibre with varying fibre loads have been determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The Flynn-Wall procedure determined each component and composite material's precise apparent activation energy (Ea). Varying fibre load (5, 10, 15, 20 wt.%) was used to reinforce PF resin, and TGA was taken for all composite samples. By observing TGA data composite with 15 wt% fibre load shows maximum thermal stability, it can also be concluded that the thermal stability of prepared composites increases with increasing fibre load. After 15 wt%, it starts to decrease.","PeriodicalId":37739,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science","volume":"97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85722495","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 use of renewable and sustainable green energy has been increasing day by day which needs efficient devices for storage and supply of energy on demand. Among the energy storage devices, batteries have a high energy storage density and low power output, while capacitors possess relatively lower energy density but are capable of exhibiting a high-power output. Dielectric capacitors show high-power density, ultra-fast charge-discharge rates and higher efficiency which make them indispensable for application in electronic devices. Dielectric materials used in the commercially available capacitors are mostly lead based ferroelectric and anti-ferroelectric ceramics. As lead is toxic and causes havoc environmental concerns, the usage of lead/heavy metal containing materials is being gradually phased out and alternate lead-free high-performance materials are sought after. Due to difficulties in ceramic synthesis technique, uncontrolled grain growth and other defects are created resulting in poor dielectric properties. This article tries to present lead-free anti-ferroelectric glass-ceramics based dielectrics as an emerging material for catering to the future green energy demands. Lead free glass-ceramics based dielectrics are multifunctional materials with huge potentials for ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) and photonic applications, besides their prospects as a future energy storage material.","PeriodicalId":37739,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73764871","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}

Electronic sensors at the heart of the IoT detect physical/environmental occurrences, translate these measurements into electrical signals, and wirelessly transfer the data for remote computation.

As-grown MWCNTs are characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). High density growth of MWCNTs have been confirmed by SEM image. Catalyst nanoparticles play very important roles in the decomposition of the hydrocarbon source and to provide nucleation site for growth of MWCNTs. High MWCNT density is required for IoT-based sensors with high performance, sensitivity, selectivity, and distant sensing.
