Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and an impedance analyzer were used to analyze each sample. FTIR Spectroscopy has confirmed the existence of one absorption band due to Fe–O interaction. Further nitrate group, the bending vibrations of H–O–H and carbonyl group were identified at 1380–1418 cm<sup>−1</sup>, 1533–1581 cm<sup>−1</sup>, and 2312–2360 cm<sup>−1</sup>. Several vibrational modes were found in the material, which revealed three different Raman modes: <i>E</i><sub>g</sub>, <i>T</i><sub>2g</sub>, and <i>A</i><sub>1g</sub>. The elemental chemical states of CCFO nanoparticles were investigated employing XPS and exhibited the Fe, Co, and Cu atoms valence states are Fe<sup>3+</sup>, Co<sup>2+</sup>, Cu<sup>2+</sup>, and Cu<sup>+</sup>. Adding Cu<sup>2+</sup> ions to these ferrites increased the metal oxide bonds and decreased the relative oxygen vacancy. The dielectric behavior of the proposed series is evaluated with frequencies between 100 Hz and 1 MHz, and the findings are then described in terms of the dielectric constant. As the frequency increased, the dielectric constant dropped and at more significant frequencies, it became constant. The results of the dielectric properties revealed that interfacial polarization causes the typical Maxwell–Wagner type dielectric dispersion. The study indicates that these materials may be used to manufacture microwave antennas to decrease energy losses and other purposes. It shows that distinct copper concentrations in cobalt ferrite nanoparticles could successfully alter their electronic and dielectric properties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":"86 10","pages":"969 - 980"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074143","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}

The research focuses on the effects of voltage, electrode length, and discharge gap on ozone concentration, ozone generation rate, and energy efficiency, aiming to enhance performance while minimizing energy consumption. Systematic experiments were conducted by varying generator parameters at the APELEC Laboratory, Djillali Liabes University of Sidi-Bel-Abbes, Algeria, yielding a peak ozone concentration of 53.32 mg/L and an energy efficiency of 5.82 g/Wh. To enhance understanding and performance, response surface modeling (RSM) was employed to develop a mathematical model that elucidates the relationships between performance metrics and generator parameters. This model facilitated the identification of optimal parameter combinations to maximize ozone concentration and efficiency. In a novel approach, two advanced metaheuristic algorithms the liver cancer algorithm (LCA) and the horned lizard optimization algorithm (HLOA) were utilized. The HLOA achieved an improved ozone concentration of 57.35 mg/L and an energy efficiency of 5.88 g/Wh, surpassing the LCA’s results of 56.9 mg/L and 5.76 g/Wh. The results provide valuable insights for enhancing ozone generators, demonstrating the effectiveness of combining RSM with metaheuristic approaches.

Since the center frequency of SBS is sensitive to temperature, in this paper, we extensively model and investigate its spatio-temporal behaviors by constructing a set of generalized coupled equations between the optical and acoustic waves together with the transient analysis of the corresponding thermal effect along the fiber length, depending on two different strategies in terms of the way of the pump power increase. When the pump power was turned on slowly in a multi-step manner, it could diminish the peak power level of SBS-induced RWs by a factor of almost two relative to that of SBS-induced RWs formed when the pump power was turned on immediately in a single-step manner.
