In Einstein's general theory of relativity (GR) Linde obtained chaotic scenario which emerged from chaotic distribution of scalar field satisfying a limiting value of the initial scalar field phi_o > 3 M_P which lies in the quantum gravity. The upper limit on the initial scalar field is obtained for a sufficient inflation to encompass the present universe. In the Rastall gravity the upper limit is reduced depending on the Rastall parameter gamma <1. The upper limit on phi_o is found to increases for 1<gamma <frac{3}{2}. In the later case sufficient inflation is not permitted and the role of curvaton field is explored for an acceptable early chaotic inflation.","PeriodicalId":9413,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82651250","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}

As an example, we carried out calculations for Rb and Cs atoms, where optical measurements of transition frequencies set the metrological level of accuracy. With the development of atomic systems as the most accurate tool for spectroscopic experiments, it has become increasingly important to improve the accuracy of measuring the electron g-factor, which is currently at ~10^{-12}. The rapid progress in this field in recent years requires analysis not only of various relativistic, QED and other effects, but also theoretical studies of phenomena stimulated by the external thermal environment. We can expect that the thermal contribution to the g-factor calculated in our work may be of interest in the near future.","PeriodicalId":9413,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72987323","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 local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation of Wu–Cohen (WC-GGA) have been used for calculating the structural properties of GaxIn1-xBiyP1-y quaternaries. The lattice matching condition and the range of ( x, y) concentrations for which the quaternary alloys are lattice-matched to InP substrate were determined. It is found that the calculated lattice constants of GaxIn1-xBiyP1-y for all selected concentrations ( x, y) are about 5.9 Å, which are in good agreement with the experimental value of the lattice constant of InP (5.869 Å). The electronic property calculations are executed via EV-GGA and TB-mBJ approximations. The calculated band structures show that GaxIn1-xBiyP1-y quaternaries have semiconductor character and exhibit a direct band gap, for all selected concentrations ( x, y). In addition, the optical properties were calculated and discussed in detail. And also, the optical band gaps of quaternaries were determined using Tauc's method. We observed that the GaxIn1-xBiyP1-y quaternaries cover the wavelength ranging from 0.911 to 2.456 µm while maintaining a lattice match to the InP substrate. The obtained results reveal that these quaternaries are suitable candidates for telecommunication applications.","PeriodicalId":9413,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85691689","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}

Different wetting gradients are known to be the main influencing factor in the droplet self- driven process, but the effect of different wall structures on the droplet migration process also deserves further investigation. In this paper, we analyze the self-driven process of liquid droplets on a local wetting gradient surface under microgravity conditions using front tracking method. The effects of different driving stripe lengths L_ΙΙx^*, different restrictive stripe lengths L_ΙΙΙy^*, and different surface wetting gradients ∆ cosθ on the droplet migration process and droplet morphology are analyzed. A theoretical formula that can predict the lateral spreading length of droplets is also proposed. The results show that different driving stripe length L_ΙΙx^* lengths and the wetting gradient ∆ cosθ have significant effects on the migration velocity of droplets, while different restrictive stripe length L_ΙΙΙy^* lengths have very significant effects on the final morphological characteristics of droplets. When restrictive stripe length L_ΙΙΙy^*≥1, the hindering effect generated by the restrictive region ΙΙΙ has more and more significant effects on the morphological structure of droplets in the migration process. When the correction factor ε=0.735 in the prediction equation, the predicted value calculated by the theoretical equation has a good degree of similarity with the numerical simulation results.","PeriodicalId":9413,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82000372","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}

These values were compared with the theoretical, semiempirical, and others’ experimental values obtained via EC decay as well as photoionization. The X-ray intensity ratio of Mn was found to be higher by 1.5% from the relativistic Hartree-Slater theoretical value. This deviation may be attributed to the exchange interactions occurring between the 3p and 3d shell electrons as well as the recoil effect of the nucleus due to neutrino emission.","PeriodicalId":9413,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136261129","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}

It is proposed that the current universe is undergoing an accelerating expansion which behaves as Chaplygin Gas-type dark energy. The values of the coupling constants involved in f(R) gravity are chosen so that the current value of the effective equation of state (ωeff0) is shown within the observational approximation, that is, between −0.8 and −1.0. Cosmological parameters such as deceleration, cosmic jerk, and snap are consistent with the fundamental observational constraint, and their relevance in terms of coupling constant is also emphasized.

This turns out to be the Dirac equation for electrons in standard form, which appears as a transformation of a moving spinor to the rest frame of the spinor.

It is noticed that the number of photons subtracted (k) changes the nonclassicality and quantum non-Gaussianity in a significant amount in the regime of small values of the displacement parameter whereas the Fock parameter (n) presents a notable change in the large regime of the displacement parameter. In this respect, the role of the Fock parameter is found to be stronger as compared to the photon subtraction number. Finally, the Wigner function dynamics considering the effects of photon loss channel is used to show that the Wigner negativity can only be detected by highly efficient detectors.","PeriodicalId":9413,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82107285","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}
