It is well established that in a crystal, where the translation symmetry allows for excitation of any of its elementary cells (or any of the comprising structural units), the energy transfer of electronic excitations occurs due to the motion of quasi-particles called excitons. The concept of “exciton” was originally introduced into physics by the pioneering works of Frenkel [1]. Among the first to consider excitonic states was also Peierls [2]. These works gave a theoretical explanation for the experimentally observed photoelectrically negative light absorption. Utilizing HeitlerLondon-Heisenberg method in his study of electronic states Frenkel [1] demonstrated that the absence of photoconductivity under the light absorption by an electronic subsystem in an ideal crystal stems from excitations of crystalline structural units moving in waves (due to translation invariance) along a crystal. Such excited states were given the name of “Frenkel excitons”.","PeriodicalId":92245,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lasers, optics & photonics","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76943018","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 present study was aimed to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment on the structural and physical properties of BaO and ZnS powder. The study was carried out in two groups, one was set to control, and another group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. Control and treated samples of BaO and ZnS were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and surface area analyzer. XRD data showed that lattice parameter and unit cell volume of BaO powder were reduced upto 0.42% and 1.26%, respectively as compared to control. Whereas, density of treated BaO was increased upto 1.27% as compared to control. Besides, the unit cell volume was changed in treated ZnS from -0.55 to 0.24% as compared to control that led to change in density from -0.24 to 0.55% after biofield treatment. However, the crystallite size was substantially increased upto 40.5% and 71.4% in treated BaO and ZnS, respectively as compared to control. FT-IR data exhibited that absorption peaks at wavenumber 862/cm (control) was shifted to 858/cm in treated BaO. Upward shifting of absorption peaks corresponding to Zn-S stretching bond was observed in treated (617/cm) as compared to control (592/cm). Furthermore, surface area result showed that it was reduced by 4.32% and 2.1% in treated BaO and ZnS powder, respectively as compared to control. Hence, these, findings suggest that biofield treatment has altered the structural and physical properties of BaO and ZnS powders.","PeriodicalId":92245,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lasers, optics & photonics","volume":"35 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82057989","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}

Results: Higher diameter aphthous ulcer measures and pain significantly reduced for the Fitostimuline Gel®and Laser treated groups or both combined if compared with the control group. The medicament effect its slow if compared to laser therapy, nonetheless when used simultaneously the effect does not differ from the one obtained by laser only application.

LLLT therapy, it’s more effective than Fitostimuline Gel® for orthodontic related aphthous ulcer treatment.

It is obtained that the response time of the bulk sample doped with 0.1% DR13 molecules is less than 208 fs and the third-order nonlinear refractive index is estimated at about 1.141×10-15 cm2/W. It is also found that the sample of material with higher DR13 content could be with higher third-order nonlinear susceptibility. The linear refractive index and the thickness of the hybrid films derived by a spin-coating process were also studied by a prism coupling technique. It is found that with an increasing of the baking temperature, both the refractive index and the thickness of the hybrid films decrease.

The simulation for electric field distribution is done using plane wave expansion method, where optimization is realized by varying radius of air holes and lattice spacing of crystal structure. With varying both radius and lattice spacing and employing PWE method, simulation result revealed that both peak electric field and output power emerging from microstructure fiber increases with the increase of glucose concentration for certain radii and lattice spacing.
