It is shown that the strain decreases the structural stability of O-doped monolayer MoS2. Between 0% and 12% tensile strains, the bandgap steadily narrows. At different compression strains, the bandgap increases and then decreases. The optical properties analysis shows that the strain causes the peaks of both the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function to appear in the low energy region. And it affects the absorption and reflection peaks of the doping system so that it has a strong absorption of photons in the ultraviolet region. The doping system shows resonance in the range of 0–10[Formula: see text]eV. The results of this study verify that strain can properly regulate the electronic and optical properties of O-doped monolayer MoS2, and provide a theoretical reference for the implementation of MoS2 in optoelectronic devices.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"49 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139869938","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}

There are several kinds of non-Newtonian fluids classified according to their properties. In this study, the Maxwell fluid model is analyzed due to the unique properties and applications of this non-Newtonian material. We have considered the Buongiorno model for nanofluid, which is a two-phase model that accounts for the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis on the transport of nanoparticles in a fluid. A stretching surface holding a chemically reactive fluid is assumed. In addition, the study also considers the impacts of heat flux and magnetic fields. The influence of various physical factors on the flow fields is presented and graphically highlighted. Using linear regression and the data point approach, the relationship between the physical parameters, such as rate of heat and mass transfer, at the surface is investigated. The relationship between the various physical parameters was investigated using the t-test approach. The Maxwell fluid parameter influences heat transmission at the surface. As the magnetic field and heat source parameters increases, the rate of heat transfer decreases. Increasing the Deborah number, chemical reaction parameter and magnetic field parameter enhances the mass transfer rate at the surface. The fluid’s velocity decreases with rising magnetic field and Maxwell fluid parameters. The heat source parameter elevates fluid temperature, while inclusion of the chemical reactions parameter reduces nanoparticle concentration.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"17 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140488574","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 multifocal array and 3D structured light are two kinds of important light fields that are often used in scanning fluorescence microscopy systems and wide-field fluorescence microscopy systems. However, traditional methods for generating multifocal arrays and 3D structured light illumination rely on various bulk optical components, making it challenging to achieve compact optical systems. Besides, generating these two types of illumination typically requires two separate and independent optical systems, hindering the integration of different types of fluorescence microscopy systems. Here, a dielectric metasurface is proposed that can achieve the switching between multifocal arrays and 3D structured light through polarization state modulation, greatly simplifying the illumination optics of fluorescence microscopy systems and facilitating the integration of different types of fluorescence microscopy systems.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"60 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140487030","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}

Moreover, a significant increase in annealing temperature destroys the surface properties. In this work, the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was prepared by an electrochemical technique with a high voltage ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]V, [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A). Then, the potential effects of impact on thermal treatment in a temperature range of 800–1000∘C in nitrogen-rich environment on the microstructure and surface morphology, thermal stability, phase and crystallinity, structural disorder, absorption properties, and optical properties of RGO for optoelectronic applications were investigated. In addition, a link was established between the estimated crystallite sizes determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman data. The microstructural data indicate that the annealing temperature has a significant effect on the microstructure and carbon–oxygen (C/O) ratio. The C/O ratio increases as a function of annealing temperature. Atomic force microscope (AFM) analysis revealed that the root mean square (RMS) roughness of annealed RGO increases with increasing annealing temperature indicating an increase in crystallite size during annealing. Since most organic compounds were removed from the surface of the annealed RGO, oxygen functionalities appear to have minimal effect on the thermal stability of RGO. The size of graphene crystallites increases with annealing temperature, as shown by XRD observations. The crystalline structure was restored by annealing. The Raman results show that in the “low” defect density zone, the [Formula: see text] values increase because a larger defect density causes a stronger elastic scattering.

Most companies, residences, schools, and other organizations rely mostly on solar energy as the main source of electricity. It was discovered that anti-reflective coating (ARC) had been applied to solar cells with the goal of increasing power conversion efficiency, decreasing reflection loss, and improving absorption. Although a single layer of ARC is sufficient, applying an additional layer might improve the solar cell application’s effectiveness. Hence, the modeling and analysis of double layers of anti-reflection coating (ARC) with different types of materials have been investigated and evaluated using personal computer one-dimensional (PC1D) simulation software. In this study, the double-layer anti-reflection coating on the solar cell was modeled using PC1D, where this software allowed for one-dimensional simulation of the parameters required for the operation of semiconductor-based solar energy systems. The PC1D simulation reveals that SiO2/TiO2 has the highest efficiency (22.82%) and lowest reflection compared to Si3N4/TiO2 and ZnO/TiO2. Also, SiO2/TiO2 generates the highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) among ARC double layers, making it ideal for silicon solar cell applications in order to boost the solar cell’s efficiency. The results for the effects of current, voltage, reflection, and EQE of the different double layers of ARC have also been studied in this paper.","PeriodicalId":503716,"journal":{"name":"Modern Physics Letters B","volume":"166 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140492587","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}
