The document summarizes photoluminescence and reflectivity measurements of MgxZnyCd1–x–ySe epitaxial layers with varying Mg content (x). As Mg content increases, significant emission line broadening, an increase in activation energy, and a large Stokes shift are observed. For samples with high Mg content (x > 0.3), an anomalous temperature dependence of emission energy and line broadening is seen, attributed to exciton localization. Exciton localization on statistical CdSe clusters within the alloy is proposed as the most likely localization mechanism.

Study of Structural and Dielectric properties of BaTiO3 Doped with Mg-Cu-Zn F...IJSRD
The magnetoelectric (ME) composites having the general formula, (x) Mg0.25Cu0.25Zn0.5Fe2O4 + (1-x) BaTiO3 (x=15%, 30%, 45%) were synthesized by sintering mixtures of highly ferroelectric BaTiO3 and highly magnetostrictive magnetic component Mg0.25Cu0.25Zn0.5Fe2O4. The presence of constituent phases of ferrite, ferroelectric and their composites were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. Surface morphology of the samples has been investigated using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), which revealed uniform mixing of two phases. The variations in dielectric constant and dissipation factor as a function of frequency from 100 Hz to 1 MHz were measured in a Hioki LCR Hi-Tester. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss were found to decrease rapidly in the low frequency region and became almost constant in the high frequency region. The electrical conductivity deduced from the measured dielectric parameters has been analyzed and found that the conduction mechanism in these composites is in conformity with small polaron hopping model.
This paper present design of new type of electromagnetic damper or eddy current damper

Synthesis and analysis of electrical properties of Lead free Ba3Sr2LaTi3V7O30...inventy
Materials of tungsten-bronze (TB) structure belong to an important family of dielectric materials which are well known for their applications in various electrical devices, such as transducers, actuators, capacitors, and ferroelectric random access memory. The TB structure consists of a framework of distorted BO6 octahedral sharing corners in such a way that three different types of interstices (A, B and C) are available for a wide variety of cations occupying in a general formula (A1)2(A2)4(C)4(B1)2(B2)8O30. Our present work deals with the studies of preparation and characterization of the physical properties of a novel single-phase polycrystalline lead-free vanadate having Tungsten Bronze Structure with compound formula Ba3Sr2LaTi3V7O30.The X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of single-phase compound with orthorhombic structure. The effect of temperature (32- 5000C) and frequency (102–106 Hz) on structural and electrical properties were studied using an impedance analyzer. Detailed studies of impedance parameters provide a better understanding of the electrical properties and type of relaxation processes in the material. The bulk resistance is observed to be decreased with rise in temperature showing a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior.
Theoretical Feasibility of Cold Fusion According to the BSM-SG Unified TheoryStoyan Sarg Sargoytchev
Report at 31 Annual Meeting of SSE, 2012
Advances in the field of cold fusion or LENR need a deeper understanding of the nuclear reactions and, more particularly, the possibility for modification of the Coulomb barrier. The treatise “Basic Structures of Matter – Supergravitation Unified Theory”, based on an alternative concept of the physical vacuum, suggests non spherical shapes of the protons and neutrons. Held by strong nuclear forces the non-spherical protons and neutrons form atomic nuclei as fractal three-dimensional structures. Such nuclear structures exhibit an excellent match to the pattern of Periodic Table, showing signatures of valences, and angular restrictions of the chemical bonds. The Coulomb barrier in these nuclear structures does not converge to a small size according to the Bohr nuclear model and it could be modified by some technical methods. The analysis of some cold fusion experiments, using BSM-SG model, resulted for practical and suggestions for other nuclear reactions.

Theoretical study of metal clad optical waveguide polarizerijsrd.com
In this paper, the metal clad optical waveguide polarizer have been analysed and presented. The metal's that were used are Gallium Arsenide and Aluminium for the cladding purpose of comparison and analysis. It was found that the variation between TE mode and TM mode when Gallium Arsenide is used as the cladding is less as compared to Aluminium. This is due to the metal cladding itself will cause a cut-off region in the polarizer. Gallium arsenide may have fewer modes compared to aluminium and which resulted in the variation of the graphs between the two metals used. We have also shown that there is a slight drop of the TM to TE loss ratio when the buffer layer thickness is increased. It was also found that the high extinction ratio results in the high and linear attenuation in the fiber.
Analysis of the recent progress in LENR (cold fusion) by using of BSM-SG atomic models
(A talk presented at the 4-th International conference on nanotechnology Nanotek & Expo, 1-3 Dec 2014, San Francisco),
The new approach provides practical considerations for selection of the elements and their isotopes suitable for cold fusion energy and minimization of the radioactive waste.
the paper focuses on the fabrication and characterization of heterostructures using transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers. The authors describe the process of mechanical exfoliation to obtain thin flakes of TMDC material, which are then placed on a viscoelastic polydimethylsiloxane film. These monolayers are subsequently stamped onto a silicon wafer covered with thermal oxide to create heterobilayers .
The paper also discusses the use of ultrafast optical-pump/terahertz-probe near-field microscopy to study these heterostructures. The authors explain that this technique allows them to investigate the electric near fields and scattered fields of the emitted waveforms, as well as the photo-induced polarizability .
The experimental setup involves a high-average-power, low-noise Yb:YAG thin-disc oscillator, which generates terahertz probe pulses through optical rectification of 200-fs-long pulses. These pulses are centered at a wavelength of 1,030 nm and are generated in a gallium phosphide crystal .
The paper likely includes additional details on the experimental procedures, data analysis, and results obtained from the terahertz near-field microscopy experiments. It may also discuss the potential applications and implications of the findings

Polarized blazar X-rays imply particle acceleration in shocksSérgio Sacani
Most of the light from blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets of magnetized plasma that point nearly along the line of sight, is produced by high-energy particles, up to around 1 TeV. Although the jets are known to be ultimately powered by a supermassive black hole, how the particles are accelerated to such high energies has been an unanswered question. The process must be related to the magnetic field, which can be probed by observations of the polarization of light from the jets. Measurements of the radio to optical polarization—the only range available until now—probe extended regions of the jet containing particles that left the acceleration site days to years earlier1–3, and hence do not directly explore the acceleration mechanism, as could X-ray measurements. Here we report the detection of X-ray polarization from the blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501). We measure an X-ray linear polarization degree ΠX of around 10%, which is a factor of around 2 higher than the value at optical wavelengths, with a polarization angle parallel to the radio jet. This points to a shock front as the source of particle acceleration and also implies that the plasma becomes increasingly turbulent with distance from the shock.
Synthesis and Study of Structural, Optical Properties of CoxZn1-xS Semiconduc...IOSR Journals
CoxZn1-xS (x=0-0.1) polycrystalline semiconductor compounds were synthesised by co-precipitation method and were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-absorption, EDAX, SEM and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) studies. XRD studies have shown that these powders have polycrystalline nature with a gradual variation from hexagonal to cubic structure while x changing from 0 to 0.1. UV-abosrption studies revealed that the band gap of CoxZn1-xS (x=0-0.1) samples decreased with increase in cobalt concentration, owing to the enhancement of sp-d exchange interactions and typical d-d transitions. Chemical homogeneity and surface morphology studies were carried out by using EDAX and SEM. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy also revealed that cobalt is induced into the lattice replacing Zinc

MAGNETOSTATIC SURFACE WAVES IN A LEFT HANDED / FERRITE/ METAL-STRIP-GRATING S...ijrap
The dispersion characteristics for magnetostatic surface waves in a left handed ( LHM)/ferrite/ metal-stripgrating
structure have been investigated. We found that, the waveguide supports backward TE waves
since both permittivity and magnetic permeability of LHM are negative. We also illustrated the
dependence of wave frequency on the reduced wave number for a grating shielding parameter, g values
restricted by the range 0 ≤ g ≥ 1. It is shown that the grating shielding parameter, g induces
magnetostatic backward shorter waves . The leakage through the grating increases with the wave number. The shorter backward magnetostatic waves are guided by the thicker waveguide where the best confinement is achieved
Fe75-xCoxCu1Nb3Si15B6 Alloy with Rapid Stress Annealingijtsrd
This Articler reports the effect of stress annealing treatment on the structural and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline Fe75-xCoxCu1Nb3Si15B6 & Co21Fe64-xNbxB15 alloys. Information obtained from magnetic measurements, X-ray diffraction measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy reveal that for Fe75-xCoxCu1Nb3Si15B6 (x = 0, 2, 5) alloys the volume fraction of the Fe-Co nanograins and their grain diameter ranges between 56 to 80 % and 10 to 18 nm respectively. Annealing treatment at higher temperature also resulted in appearance of Fe3Si nanocrystals along with magnetically hard Fe3B, Fe23B type phases which are responsible for higher coercive field values. Presence of cobalt and applied stress during annealing has considerable effect on relative permeability and stress induced anisotropy, which is and perpendicular to the ribbon axis. Mössbauer spectroscopy analysis also suggests changes in spin texture.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
