The instability arises from the transverse spatial shear of the streaming velocity, which evolves from the DC electric and magnetic fields. In dense plasmas, quantum effects contribute through magnetically quantized statistical Fermi pressure, tunnelling potential and exchange-correlation potential. The contribution of the shear profile, the drift velocity, the number density of medium species, the dc magnetic field and the propagation angle θ of the wavevector on the instability is pointed out analytically as well as graphically. By varying the angle, shear size and density of plasma particles, the growth rate is enhanced. It does not, however, change as the streaming speed increases. This work seeks applications to study the characteristics of complex media like astrophysical and semiconductor plasmas [R. P.

The latent heat is represented as a function of the moving interface. Mathematical model accounts for a control function varying with heat flux. We have obtained the explicit solution of the given mathematical model in the presence of convection and a control function. The Legendre wavelet Galerkin approach (LWGA) is used to solve the mathematical problem. In a particular case, our numerical results were compared with previous results and found to be in excellent agreement. Moreover, the current numerical technique is more efficient and accurate in comparison to the previous available method. An extensive analysis of the problem parameters is presented. It is found that the control function offers a significant contribution during the melting or freezing of a PCM. A greater value of the heat flux accelerates the rate of propagation of interface. Convection heat transfer increases the speed of the interface. Results obtained from the current study are expected to improve the fundamental understanding of heat transfer and aid in sublimation and desorption like physical phenomena.","PeriodicalId":54395,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Naturforschung Section A-A Journal of Physical Sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135804613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Does this difference suggest a physically distinct origin of momentum in the two cases and, if so, what is actually being conserved in interactions involving both types of particle? In this paper, we consider a recently proposed gravitational origin for rest-mass energy to demonstrate that a single definition of momentum applies to all particles, massless or otherwise. When introduced into this description, inertial mass is merely a surrogate for the particle’s ‘free’ energy, but does not imply an origin of momentum different from that of particles without mass.","PeriodicalId":54395,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Naturforschung Section A-A Journal of Physical Sciences","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135969235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to investigate the transmittance spectra of two proposed one-dimensional (1D) structures, including a conventional superconductor photonic crystal (PC) and a gyroidal superconductor PC at infrared (IR) wavelengths. A comprehensive analysis has been carried out to provide useful insights into the optical properties and the behavior of the proposed structure, highlighting the impact of many parameters, such as refractive index, filling fraction, and layer thickness. The numerical findings showed that the permittivity of the BSCCO superconductor of a gyroidal geometry takes a different response compared to the conventional one. Notably, the filling fraction and refractive index of the host material have a significant control on both real and imaginary parts of the gyroidal BSCCO permittivity through the considered wavelengths. Thus, the proposed design provides high transmittivity outside the obtained photonic band gap compared to the conventional one. We believe that the designed one-dimensional gyroidal BSCCO photonic crystals could act as an efficient reflector through near IR for optoelectronics and energy applications.","PeriodicalId":54395,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Naturforschung Section A-A Journal of Physical Sciences","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135044400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
