These trial wave functions are tested by calculating the masses of ground, radial, and orbital excited states of mesons with the variational method. Relativistic effects are incorporated in the potential model through lowest order perturbation theory. The predictions for the masses of mesons show good agreement with the available experimental data and theoretical predictions found by different methods. This indicates that these trial wave functions are appropriate for the further study of mesons. These trial wave functions are used to calculate RMS radii, form factors, and charged radii. Results show that RMS radii and charge radii have inverse relation with the masses of mesons, i.e., heavier mesons have smaller radii and vice versa.

The optical properties of AOSs were observed through UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The violet emission, yellow-green emission, yellow emission, and orange-red emission band were observed in the photoluminescence study. All the films show very high transparency. The transmittance value for all the film drops approximately from 94 to 67% as the substrate temperature rises from RT to 400 °C due to increased absorption. The Hall measurement results indicated that substrate temperature greatly impacts the carrier concentration (n), carrier mobility (µ), and resistivity (ρ), of AOSs films. With rising substrate temperature, the carrier concentration increases, suggesting that certain dopant atoms at the grain boundaries may undergo thermal ionization, which can subsequently diffuse into the host lattice, thereby acting as effective dopants. The enhancement of mobility is likely due to increase in grain size. The decrease in resistivity is due to increased carrier concentration and mobility.
