Unfortunately, a major drawback is the electromagnetic noise interference and low response speed. In this paper, a new optically controlled variable damping system based on PLZT ceramic/electrorheological fluid (ERF) is proposed. The mathematical models of the photovoltage generated by PLZT ceramics and the pressure difference between the two ends of the microchannel are established and verified by numerical simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics. Meanwhile, with the increase of light intensity, liquid flow rate and decrease of microchannel height and width, the pressure difference shows an uptrend. Optically controlled variable damping system based on PLZT ceramic/ERF is a control method with the advantages of a clean excitation source, remote control, no electromagnetic interference, and fast response speed, and has a good application prospect in the field of vibration control and fluid control.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":" 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140990992","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 phenomenon plays a crucial role in hydraulic systems, particularly in the context of lubrication and its associated consequences on mass and heat transport. Current studies have focused on investigating the thermal effects of a third-order nanofluid on a lubricated stretched surface near an analytical stagnation point. The lubrication process involves the use of a thin, adjustable coating of lubricant fluid. To analyze this complex system, we employ the Buongiorno model and explore thermophoresis and the Brownian motion phenomenon. For deriving analytical results of updated boundary layer ordinary differential equations, we rely on the dependable and effective hybrid homotopy analysis method (HHAM). To exhibit the effectiveness of our study, we provide a numerical comparison. Based on theoretical flow assumptions, we establish a range of flow parameters. In the presence of lubrication, we physically examine how these parameters affect temperatures, velocities, concentration, and other relevant quantities of thermal interest. These new findings have practical applications in polymer production, heat transmission, and hydraulic systems.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"50 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140356362","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}

It is reported that forming voltage and resistance of the device increase by increasing the number of ZFO layers. Our results reveal that ZFO thin film deposited by eight times spin coating with a thickness of eight layers illustrates stable resistive switching with the most steady Set (2[Formula: see text]V) and Reset voltages (0.5[Formula: see text]V) as compared to the devices with two, four, and six layers. It also demonstrates the enhanced endurance of greater than 300 switching cycles and stable time-dependent resistance greater than 104[Formula: see text]s. The current transport mechanism is Ohmic at low-resistance state, while it leads to Schottky emission at high-resistance state. The possible switching mechanism is also discussed for the possible application of ZFO-based memory for nonvolatile RRAM devices.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"50 50","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140357435","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 observed that the tilt angle size of grain boundary (GB) spatial structures significantly influences both the type and number of defects caused by primary knock-on atom (PKA) collisions at the interface, altering the cascade damage morphology. Under the PKA range from 1.5[Formula: see text]keV to 15[Formula: see text]keV at 1000[Formula: see text]K, the interplay between GB and interface damage throughout various cascade collision stages impacts defect generation and PKA efficiency. Integrating the analyses of displacement cascade morphology, threshold displacement energy (TDE), and Frenkel pairs (FPs) evolution, it is evident that GBs introduced into the SiC/PyC interface with single crystals exhibit reduced defect absorption efficiency. This implies the existence of competing mechanisms of GB damage and interfacial damage. Notably, the GB plane near the interface exhibits enhanced irradiation resistance and atomic arrangement stability compared to areas without GB. Overall, our results offer crucial insights into the irradiation resistance mechanics of ceramic composite interfaces, laying the groundwork for future studies.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"46 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140357978","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 optimal device with a MoS2 thickness of 120[Formula: see text]nm has a lower Set voltage and Reset voltage, where Set voltage is 0.14–0.3[Formula: see text]V and Reset voltage is −0.24[Formula: see text]V to −0.08[Formula: see text]V. The device also has a resistive switching ratio of up to 105 high resistance state/low resistance state, a data retention time over 104[Formula: see text]s, and can endure more than 103 cycles.

There is no RS behavior in ITO/MoS2/ITO devices fabricated by the same method, which indicates that sulfur vacancies have little effect on the RS characteristics of Cu/MoS2/Cu/ITO devices. Moreover, since the migration barrier and diffusion activation energy of Cu in MoS2 are lower than those of sulfur vacancy, combined with the data fitting structure, it is shown that the RS behavior is formed because Cu ions control the connectivity and fracture of conductive filaments through the diffusion and migration of MoS2 layer.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"1 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140354239","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}

Purpose: This study is devoted to exploring the features of free convection in the thermally stratified, unsteady flow of Casson fluid over an inclined, exponentially stretching surface. Moreover, the implications of nonlinear thermal radiation, activation energy, and thermal/salute stratification effects are examined over the thermal energy transport distributions. Diffusion-thermo and thermo diffusion impressions are also taken into consideration. Methodology: By introducing reasonable transformations, partial differential equations are altered into ordinary differential equations. A nonlinear system of differential equations is solved numerically by employing the Midrich numerical technique. Findings: The impacts of diverse fluid parameters like the Soret/Dufour number, temperature difference parameter, radiation parameter, thermal/salute stratification parameter, magnetic parameter, and Prandtal number are assessed and depicted in plots by explaining the physical justifications of each parameter. Also, numerical values of sink friction and local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are computed and examined for different values of pertinent variables involved in the problems. It is found that the rate of thermal energy transport is significantly enhanced by the larger estimation of the radiation parameter. Furthermore, it is perceived that the escalation in the temperature ratio constant leads to increased thermal convection in the fluid, while the larger thermal stratification constant decays the rate of heat transport in the fluid. Additionally, the rate of thermal transport is de-escalated due to the escalation in the intensity of thermal stratification parameter.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"11 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140352505","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 innovative strategy uses the fundamentals of physics to improve the accuracy and efficacy of problem solving techniques. Harmonic distortions in power systems have become a massive challenge because of the nonlinear loads associated with the electrical power distribution system. Overheating of the equipment, motor failure, capacitor failure, and improper power metering are all issues caused by harmonic distortion. A new examination of the causes and consequences of these issues, as well as the status of hardware and software available for harmonic evaluation, is necessary in light of the unprecedented advancements in power electronic devices and their integration at all levels in the power and energy system. In order to estimate phase and amplitude simultaneously with a specified frequency, an objective function of power system harmonics is created. Keeping in mind the adverse effects of harmonics, parameter estimation is carried out under various conditions by taking different particle sizes and signal-to-noise ratios. TSOA proved its efficacy for both phase and amplitude parameters under different situations and precisely estimated the harmonics signal up to an accuracy of 1.1648E–15. Two harmonic signals were taken in this research work, and the best MSE values achieved are 9.748E–4, 8.287E–07, 6.157E–10, and 1.165E–15 for 30, 60, 90, and 150 dB noise, respectively, under case study 1 while varying the particle size from 50 to 450. The results for case study 2 proved to be best up to 7.373E–16, and no significant change occurred by increasing the generations above 500. The proposed study would be a step further in developing a more accurate and robust computing platform for robust estimation of harmonics arising in power and energy systems.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"5 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140353251","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}
