Using state-of-the-art first-principles computations and taking into account the dispersion forces between the diverse nanosheets, we determined that the intercalation of barium atoms (Ba) into AB-2LG increases the interlayer distance from 3.357 to 5.584? <span>({mathring{A}})</span>, and no C–Ba bond formation has been observed. In addition, our findings reveal that the presence of Ba atoms inside the AB-2LG induces a change in the Space group number from 164 (pure AB-2LG) to 156 (Ba-intercalated AB-2LG). Concurrently, we observed that the AB-2LG band structure exhibits a Dirac cone at the K-point, which is a characteristic signature of a semi-metallic character. By contrast, the electronic behavior of the barium-intercaled AB-2LG is found to be metallic. Also, we noticed that the confinement of Ba atoms into the AB-2LG shifts the Dirac point under the Fermi level. Additionally, upon examining the optical properties under the 001 and 100-polarization of the incident light, we found that all optical parameters of both under-investigated bidimensional materials exhibit an anisotropic character. Interestingly, under the 001-polarization, we observed that the intercalation of AB-2LG with Ba atoms reduces the optical absorption to zero in the visible region, and blueshifts are the absorption peak observed in the infrared region. Furthermore, in the case of 001-polarization, the presence of Ba atoms enhances the optical absorption in the 7–9?eV spectral range. However, the obtained data exhibit a remarkable decrease in the refractive index after the Ba intercalation process, for both considered polarization directions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":792,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Plus","volume":"138 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1140/epjp/s13360-023-04265-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4444577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is noticed that the potential function of a massless scalar shell exhibits collapsing behavior, whereas the case of a massive scalar shell exhibits collapsing behavior initially and then gradually expands. Finally, thin-shell stability is observed by using the perturbed form of potential function at equilibrium shell radius with the phantom-like equation of state, i.e., quintessence, dark energy, and phantom energy. It is noted that stable/unstable behavior of thin-shell is found after the expected position of the event horizon of the exterior manifold.

We describe some methods to determine their topological charges (Sect.?3) and how to convert them, e.g., in the linear process of diffraction from a hologram with an encoded OV, as well as after nonlinear processes of cascaded four-wave mixing and of the non-perturbative process of high harmonic generation (Sect.?5). In Sect.?6, we describe a method based on singular optics for the generation of long-range Bessel-Gaussian beams. Particular attention is paid to the suppression of the interaction of pairs of OVs and to the generation of large arrays of hundreds of OVs on a common background beam in square-shaped and hexagonal OV lattices (Sect.?7). The rich possibilities for the controllable generation of ordered focal structures of bright peaks and the possible additional structuring of each peak with other singular beams are illustrated, as well as the mixing of such OV arrays. New experimental results, devoted to novel possibilities for generating rich structures composed by bright peaks in the artificial far field from OV lattices with high TCs, are also presented for the first time in this paper and discussed in detail in (Sect.?8).

This task is sometimes difficult for complex spectra for the presence of many photopeaks which make the trend of continuum extremely variable due to multiple dispersion effects and interference factors. It follows that the MDA assessment must be take into account the contributions of all gamma emissions of radionuclides contained in a sample and its value can be significantly higher than that determined by considering only the background of the spectrometric system due to the overlapping of other peaks. A procedure or an algorithm to determine, each time, the count values to be used for the calculation of MDA is interesting and useful. In this work, some of the more recent algorithms proposed for background subtraction in a gamma-ray spectrum have been examined, applying them in an inverse way for the evaluation of baseline trend in the whole energy range. Among the algorithms examined, particular attention was paid to the application of SNIP (statistical sensitive nonlinear iterative peak clipping) algorithms, which are the simplest to adopt and implement in an application procedure.
