In this work, a new view for studying the duration time of solar flares is presented. Regarding the analysis of the duration time, one of the solar flares parameters is introduced for the solar cycles 23 and 24. This is done by ordering the duration time of solar flares into five groups of minutes (<30, 30-60, 60 90, 90-120, >120) and calculating the total annual duration time of solar flares for each group. The total annual duration time is also calculated for each class of solar flare classification (B, C, M, X). Their relationship with both F10.7 and Kp-index are also studied. We found that approximately 41% of solar flares occur within 6-12 minutes for both solar cycles. Additionally, the total average of their duration time is 19.1 and 19.6 minutes, respectively.Also, the average duration time of the ascending phase is less than the descending phase of both solar cycles for all classes of solar flares, except for B-class, which is vice versa. The relationship between the duration time of solar flares with F10.7 is strong. In contrast, the relationship with the Earth’s magnetic field is weak.","PeriodicalId":42463,"journal":{"name":"MOMENTO-Revista de Fisica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48921820","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}

We present nonlinear materials, that have the second-order electrical susceptibility tensor, and the fluctuating effective refractive index caused by fluctuating vacuum electric fields. Likewise, we study the fluctuations of the vacuum, which led to the contributions of thermal and mixed fluctuations being associated with a faithful test function to perform the calculations, in contrast to the Lorentzian distribution. We show the contribution of thermal and mixed fluctuations to time-of-flight fluctuations compared to the contributions of vacuum fluctuations. The result reveals a numerical estimate performed on cadmium selenide (CdSe) suggesting that the effects of fluctuations can cause uncertainty in time of flight due to quantum vacuum fluctuations in terms of thermal and mixed fluctuations.","PeriodicalId":42463,"journal":{"name":"MOMENTO-Revista de Fisica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46028111","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}

For this purpose, we considered different configurations for adsorbing BMSF-BENZ drugs on the surface of the Si-CNT nanotube. All considered configurations are optimized using the density functional theory (DFT) at the 6-31G∗∗ basis set and B3LYP-B97D level of theory. Then from optimized structures, for each nanoparticle, we selected seven stable locations for the adsorption of BMSF-BENZ in (Br, N8, N9, N58, O35, O41 and S) active atoms on the surface of the selected nanoparticle. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis, and molecular orbital (MO) analysis were also established. The calculated results indicate that the distance between nanotube and drug from the N8 site is lower than from all other locations sites for all investigated complexes, and adsorption of BMSF-BENZ from the N8 site is more favorable for the Si-CNT nanotube. The adsorption energy, hardness, softness, and fermi energy results reveal that the interaction of BMSF-BENZ with Si-CNT is a promising adsorbent for this drug as Adsorption energy Eads of BMSF-BENZ/Si-CNT complexes are (-13.08, -43.50, -17.90, -31.29, -25.57, -16.56, and -28.05) kcal/mol in the gas phase.

Hysteresis loops show that the coercive field (Hc) decreases with increasing azimuthal angle, from one easy-magnetizing axis to the other; in turn, the remanent magnetization (Mr) remains constant and magnetization diagrams indicate the presence of magnetic domains and walls in the (x, y) plane, accompanied by a magnetization component that points, both, outward and inward of the plane. This behavior is associated with the type of anisotropy and the aspect ratio of the cuboid.
