This document discusses how magnetized plasma with ferromagnetic grains (MPFG) can act as a negative refractive index medium. It presents the following key points:
1) MPFG is an anisotropic medium whose permittivity and permeability are tensors. Near resonance frequencies, it is possible for MPFG to have simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability.
2) For waves propagating parallel to an applied magnetic field, the refractive index of the extraordinary wave can become negative in certain frequency domains, indicating that MPFG behaves as a left-handed medium.
3) Numerical calculations demonstrate that in a narrow band of super-high frequencies near the electron cyclotron frequency, MPFG possesses the characteristics of

This document summarizes a new approach called "coercivity weighted Langevin magnetization" that more accurately models the superparamagnetic and nonsuperparamagnetic behavior of single domain magnetic nanoparticles. It presents results showing how coercivity and remanence in the single domain regime can be predicted as functions of particle size, temperature, and measurement frequency. The new model combines steady and time-varying magnetization dynamics and considers factors affecting the superparamagnetic state. It defines the transition between superparamagnetic and nonsuperparamagnetic states more precisely and allows direct calculation of coercivity-weighted magnetization and susceptibility.
superparamagnetism and its biological applicationsudhay roopavath
- Superparamagnetism occurs in small ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic nanoparticles and implies single-domain particle sizes of a few nanometers. The magnetic moments of individual atoms combine to form a giant magnetic moment for the nanoparticle as a whole.
- Below the blocking temperature, nanoparticles behave superparamagnetically, with spontaneous fluctuations of the magnetization direction between θ=00 and θ=1800. Above the blocking temperature, nanoparticles behave paramagnetically.
- Superparamagnetism allows applications in areas like drug delivery, hyperthermia cancer treatment, magnetic resonance imaging, and gene therapy by exploiting the magnetic properties at the nanoscale.
This document summarizes research on identifying spin-wave eigen-modes in a circular spin-valve nano-pillar using Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM). Key findings include:
1) Distinct spin-wave spectra are observed depending on whether the nano-pillar is excited by a uniform in-plane radio-frequency magnetic field or by a radio-frequency current perpendicular to the layers, indicating different excitation mechanisms.
2) Micromagnetic simulations show the azimuthal index φ is the discriminating parameter, with only φ=0 modes excited by the uniform field and only φ=+1 modes excited by the orthogonal current-induced Oersted field.

The document summarizes key information about the CdGa2S4 semiconductor. It belongs to the ordered vacancy compound family, which contains direct bandgap materials less than 4 eV that can be used in optoelectronic devices. CdGa2S4 has a defect chalcopyrite structure at ambient conditions and undergoes a phase transition to a disordered rocksalt structure above 18.8 GPa. First-principles density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the structural stability and electronic properties of both phases under varying pressures. The results show that the defect chalcopyrite phase is more stable at lower pressures and becomes metallic above the transition pressure where the structures change.
This document discusses a study investigating the optical absorption properties of a van der Waals heterostructure composed of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and phosphorene. The results show that individual MoS2 and phosphorene absorb in some parts of the visible spectrum, while their heterostructure absorbs strongly across the entire visible spectrum from 410-780nm. This is due to a redshift phenomenon where absorption is increased at longer wavelengths. Additionally, the heterostructure is found to have a type-II band alignment ideal for optoelectronic applications such as solar energy conversion.

Magnetic materials form magnetic domains to minimize their magnetostatic energy. Domain walls separate domains with different magnetization orientations. Bloch walls have spins rotating continuously across the wall, while Neel walls have spins rotating in the plane of the wall. The equilibrium domain size and wall thickness are determined by a balance of exchange, anisotropy, magnetostatic, and wall energies. Various techniques like SEMPA, MFM, and magneto-optical imaging are used to observe domain structures with high resolution.

2. Increasing the binding strength of the insulating layer increases the electron density and disruption of energy levels. A broader band connection disrupts the insulating layer more, changing it from a non-conductor to a semiconductor or even conductor.
3. The results show that electron transport can be controlled in the non-conducting layers by changing properties of the three layers to maximize the transmission function.

phonon as carrier of electromagnetic interaction between lattice wave modes a...Qiang LI
The new results reported here mainly include: 1) recognition that phonon is carrier of electromagnetic interaction between its lattice wave mode and electrons; 2) recognition that binding energy of electron pairs of high-temperature superconductivity is due to escape of optical threshold phonons, of electron pairs at or near Fermi level, from crystal by direct radiation; 3) recognition that binding energy of electron pairs of low-temperature superconductivity is possibly due to escape of non-optical threshold phonons by anharmonic crystal interactions; and, 4) recognition of a possible mechanism explaining why some crystals never have a superconducting phase. While electron pairing is phonon-mediated in general, HTS should be associated with electron pairing mediated by optical phonon at or near Fermi level (EF), so the rarity of HTS corresponds to the rarity of such pairing match.

A SIMPLE METHOD TO AMPLIFY MICRO DISPLACEMENTijics
This document describes a simple method for amplifying micro displacements produced by various effects, including magnetostriction, piezoelectric, and photostrictive effects. The method involves rigidly joining two material rods with different strain coefficients when exposed to an external field. When a field is applied, one rod expands while the other contracts, adding their displacements. This direct addition allows much larger displacements without lever mechanisms that introduce friction. Examples demonstrate amplification of displacements from micrometers to millimeters using magnetostrictive and piezoelectric material pairs. The approach requires no moving parts, enabling response to high-frequency fields without phase delay.

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 document describes an experiment demonstrating quantum interference using a polarization interferometer. Single photons are entangled via spontaneous parametric down-conversion and their polarizations are measured after passing through the interferometer. When which-path information is available by measuring the idler photon polarization, no interference pattern is observed in the signal photon counts. However, when this which-path information is erased by adjusting the idler photon's polarization, an oscillating interference pattern is observed as the interferometer path length difference is varied.

The work undertaken in this article concerns the description of the propagation modes of an incident
electromagnetic wave of wavelength λ (the visible spectrum) to its interaction with a structure typical metal

associated with longitudinal modes propagating interface. A comparative study between two structures
silver and copper has been established. The characteristic parameters whose behavior is studied in the
visible spectrum are the propagation length, and the length of penetration in rural and dielectric material.
The typical structure of Kretschmann-Raether being used for the diagnosis of structure, analytical study
shows that copper can be used as a guide for photonic transmission. The direction of propagation, the
electromagnetic field associated with the interface modes present evanescent spatial coherence with which
the behavior is justified by a study of the near field. For this, we have given some results on the density of
states of plasmonic modes on a copper-air interface.

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 .

Giant magnetoresistance and their applicationsPremashis Kumar
Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) is a quantum mechanical magnetoresistance effect observed in multilayers composed of alternating ferromagnetic and non-magnetic conductive layers. The 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg for the discovery of GMR.
The effect is observed as a significant change in the electrical resistance depending on whether the magnetization of adjacent ferromagnetic layers are in a parallel or an antiparallel alignment. The overall resistance is relatively low for parallel alignment and relatively high for antiparallel alignment. The magnetization direction can be controlled, for example, by applying an external magnetic field. The effect is based on the dependence of electron scattering on the spin orientation.

The model is in good agreement with previous experimental results.

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
Giant magnetoresistance and their applicationsPremashis Kumar
Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) is a quantum mechanical magnetoresistance effect observed in multilayers composed of alternating ferromagnetic and non-magnetic conductive layers. The 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg for the discovery of GMR.
The effect is observed as a significant change in the electrical resistance depending on whether the magnetization of adjacent ferromagnetic layers are in a parallel or an antiparallel alignment. The overall resistance is relatively low for parallel alignment and relatively high for antiparallel alignment. The magnetization direction can be controlled, for example, by applying an external magnetic field. The effect is based on the dependence of electron scattering on the spin orientation.
This document summarizes a research article that develops a theoretical model to describe how decoherence effects rubidium vapor in an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) experiment. The model accounts for decoherence from both dephasing and population relaxation. It quantifies the impact of decoherence on various experimental measurements, including Faraday rotation, susceptibility, transmission, and coherence relationships. The model is in good agreement with previous experimental results. It also discusses how the model could be applied to other EIT-based experiments and how Faraday rotation could be used to detect single atoms.

The Propagation and Power Deposition of Electron Cyclotron Waves in Non-Circu...IJERA Editor
The document summarizes a numerical study of the propagation and power deposition of electron cyclotron waves in non-circular HL-2A tokamak plasmas. The ray trajectories and power deposition were simulated by solving the plasma equilibrium equation, ray equations, and quasi-linear Fokker-Planck equation. The results show that shaping effects and temperature profiles have little influence on ECRH, while plasma density significantly affects propagation and power deposition. When ordinary mode EC waves are launched from the mid-plane and low-field side, ray trajectories bend as the parallel refractive index increases and can even recurve to the low-field side when the index reaches a certain value. Single absorption decreases with increasing both poloidal and toroidal
This document describes simple classroom demonstrations of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) principles. The demonstrations use common compasses to represent magnetic nuclei such as hydrogen-1 and carbon-13 placed in a static magnetic field generated by three aligned permanent magnets. An oscillating magnetic field from a stir plate or electromagnet pulse is used to excite the "nuclei". This causes the compass needles to precess, demonstrating the resonance condition. The demonstrations illustrate how NMR frequency depends on magnetic field strength and environmental factors. They provide an intuitive way for students to learn basic NMR and MRI concepts.
This document reports on a project to measure the dielectric properties of materials at microwave frequencies. It discusses key concepts such as dielectric constant, permittivity, permeability, Maxwell's equations and how they relate to a material's ability to store and transmit electromagnetic energy. It describes measurement techniques using resonant cavities and waveguides to characterize a material's dielectric constant and loss factor. Sample preparation and ensuring uniform temperature and moisture conditions are important. Both resonant cavity and transmission line methods are covered, with cavity methods noted as providing higher accuracy for loss measurements.
1. Microwave diagnostics techniques such as interferometry, reflectometry, scattering and electron cyclotron emission (ECE) have been powerful tools for diagnosing magnetically confined plasmas.
2. Recent advances in electronics and computer technology have enabled the development of advanced microwave diagnostic systems that can measure 2D and 3D profiles of plasma density, temperature, and fluctuations.
3. Key microwave diagnostic techniques discussed in the document are interferometry, reflectometry, and ECE. Interferometry measures line integrated density, reflectometry measures local density, and ECE measures local electron temperature. These techniques provide important information for understanding issues in plasma physics like stability, waves, and transport.

This document summarizes a research article about nonlinear electrodynamics and its effects on the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation. It introduces nonlinear electrodynamics models as alternatives to Maxwell's electrodynamics. The document then discusses how nonlinear electrodynamics is minimally coupled to gravity and derives the relevant equations of motion. It focuses on analyzing the Pagels-Tomboulis nonlinear electrodynamics Lagrangian and computing the polarization angle of photons propagating in an expanding universe with planar symmetry. Constraints on the nonlinear electrodynamics parameter are obtained using data on cosmic magnetic field strengths and the rotation of CMB polarization spectra measured by experiments.

Stability Of Magnetostatic Surface Waves In A Semiconductor-Ferrite-Left-Hand...ijrap
This document discusses the stability of magnetostatic surface waves in a waveguide structure composed of a semiconductor layer, ferrite layer, and left-handed material layer. It presents the dispersion relations that describe magnetostatic surface waves in this three-layer structure. The relations show the waves can have both positive and negative components, indicating forward and backward waves. Graphs show how the wave characteristics, such as attenuation and wavelength, are affected by parameters like conductivity, drift velocity of carriers, and the fill factor of the left-handed material. The document concludes by discussing the possibility of magnetostatic surface envelop solitons existing during propagation of the magnetostatic surface waves in this waveguide structure.

New Thermodynamics: A Superior Fit Revised Kinetic Theoryijrap
The accepted kinetic theory forms a basis for modern thermodynamics and is mathematically based upon equipartition and degrees of freedom. It remains plagued with the necessity of numerous degrees of freedom exceptions for it to explain both empirically determined heat capacities and adiabatic indexes. Furthermore, assuming kT/2 per degree of freedom is to accept that a gas molecule possesses a specified energy without providing any clarity concerning that energy’s origins. Energy without an origin contravenes the first law of thermodynamics. This author’s previously published superior fit kinetic theory will be clarified and elaborated upon. This includes showing that this revised kinetic theory is a superior fit to both known heat capacities and adiabatic indexes. Not only is it a superior fit that does not rely upon any exceptions, this author’s kinetic theory also provides insight into the actual sources of a gas molecule’s energy. Furthermore, clarity concerning the difference between isometric (isochoric) and isobaric heat capacities in terms of sensible work will be discussed, along withits likely empirical verification.
On the Unification of Physic and the Elimination of Unbound Quantitiesijrap
This paper supports Descartes' idea of a constant quantity of motion, modernized by Leibniz. Unlike Leibniz, the paper emphasizes that the idea is not realized by forms of energy, but by energy itself. It remains constant regardless of the form, type, or speed of motion, even that of light. Through force, energy is only transformed. Here it is proved that force is its derivative. It exists even at rest, representing the object's minimal energy state. With speed, we achieve its multiplication up to the maximum energy state, from which a maximum force is derived from the object. From this point, corresponding to Planck's Length, we find the value of the force wherever we want. Achieving this removes the differences between various natural forces. The new idea eliminates infinite magnitudes. The process allows the laws to transition from simple to complex forms and vice versa, through differentiation-integration. For this paper, this means achieving the Unification Theory.
Gravity Also Redshifts Light – the Missing Phenomenon That Could Resolve Most...ijrap
In this paper I discover that gravity also redshifts light like the velocity of its source does. When light travels towards a supermassive object, its waves (or photons) undergo continuous stretching, thereby shifting towards lower frequencies. Gravity redshifts light irrespective of whether its source is in motion or static with respect to its observer. An equation is derived for gravitational redshift, and a formula for combined redshift is presented by considering both the velocity, and gravity redshifts. Also explained is how frequencies of electromagnetic spectrum continuously downgrade as a light beam of mix frequencies passes towards a black hole. Further, a clear methodology is provided to figure out whether expansion of the universe is accelerating or decelerating, or alternatively, the universe is contracting.
In this paper I present a new theory that explains as to when and how dark energy is created as mass is destroyed. The theory extends Einstein’s mass energy equation to a more generic form in order to make it work even in high gravity conditions. It also explains why dark energy is created. Further, it is proved Einstein’s mass energy equation holds good only when the destroyed mass has no supermassive object in its close vicinity. The relationship between dark energy and dark matter is unveiled. An extended mathematical form of Einstein’s mass energy equation is derived, based on which the conditions leading to dark energy creation are explained. Three new physical parameters called dark energy discriminant, dark energy radius and dark energy boundary are introduced to facilitate easy understanding of the theory. It is explained in detail that an extremely superdense object has two dark energy boundaries, outer and inner. Mass destroyed only between these two boundaries creates dark energy. Dark energy space, the space between the two aforementioned boundaries, shrouds visible matter in obscurity from optical and electromagnetic telescopes. This theory identifies Gargantuan as a superdense black hole currently creating fresh dark energy, which could be the subject of interest for the astronomical research community having access to sophisticated telescopes, and working on dark energy. It also upholds dark energy and denies the existence of dark matter. Dark matter is nothing but the well-known visible matter positioned in dark energy space. An important relationship is derived between a photon’s frequency and its distance from a black hole to demonstrate the effect of gravity on light. Another important fact revealed by this theory is gravity stretches out light, thereby causing redshift, which is unaccounted in the computation of velocities of outer galaxies. Whether the universe is undergoing accelerated or decelerated expansion, or accelerated contraction can precisely be determined only after accounting for the redshift caused by gravity

SOME THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF HYDROGEN DIFFUSION IN BCC METALS AT LOW TEMPERATURESijrap
Purpose of the work is to discuss some theoretical aspects of the diffusion of hydrogen atoms in the crystal
lattice of BCC metals at low temperatures using the methods of statistical thermodynamics. The values of
the statistical model calculations of H diffusion coefficients in α-Fe, V, Ta, Nb, K are in good agreement
with the experimental data. The statistical model can also explain deviations from the Arrhenius equation
at temperatures 300-100 K in α-Fe, V, Nb and K. It was suggested that thermally activated fast tunnelling
transition of hydrogen atoms through the potential barrier at a temperature below 300 K provides an
almost free movement of H atoms in the α-Fe and V lattice at these temperatures. The results show that
quantum-statistical effects play a decisive role in the H diffusion in BCC metals at low temperatures. Using
the statistical model allows for the prediction of the diffusion coefficient for H in BCC metals at low
temperatures, where it’s necessary to consider quantum effects.
MASSIVE PHOTON HYPOTHESIS OPENS DOORS TO NEW FIELDS OF RESEARCHijrap
1) A massive photon hypothesis is proposed, where the photon mass is directly calculated from kinetic gas theory to be 1.25605 x 10-39 kg.
2) This photon mass explains various experiments like light deflection near the Sun and the gravitational redshift.
3) The photon gas is found to behave as a perfect blackbody and ideal gas, with photons having 6 degrees of freedom.
4) The thermal de Broglie wavelength of this photon gas is calculated to be 1.75967 x 10-3 m, matching the wavelength of the cosmic microwave background radiation.
5) This links the CMB radiation to being continuously generated by the photon gas permeating space, rather than being a relic of
PHENOMENOLOGICAL METHOD REGARDING A THIRD THEORY OF PHYSICS “THE EVENT:THE TH...ijrap
The quest for a third theory uniting macro-cosmos (relativity) and micro-cosmos (quantum mechanics) has coexisted with the denial of feminine/subjective polarity to masculine/objective. The dismissal of electromagnetism as the tension of opposites in quest of inner/outer unity is sourced in the denial of the feminine qualia -- the negative force field attributed to dark energy/dark matter. However, a conversion philosophy sourced in the hieros gamos and signified by the Mobius strip has formulated an integral consciousness methodology producing quantum objects by means of embracing the shadow haunting contemporary physics. This Self-reflecting process integrating subject/object comprises an ontology of kairos as the “quantum leap.” An interdisciplinary quest to create a phenomenological narrative is disclosed via a holistic apparatus of hermeneutics manifesting image/text of a contemporary grail journey. Reflected in this Third space is the sacred reality of autonomous number unifying polarities of feminine/subjective (quality) and objective/masculine (quantity) as new measurement apparatus for the quantum wave collapse.

A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MATTER, ENERGY, INFORMATION, AND CONSCIOUSNESSijrap
This paper discusses the advantages of describing the universe, or nature, in terms of information and consciousness. Some problems encountered by theoretical physicists in the quest for the theory of everything stem from the limitations of trying to understand everything in terms of matter and energy only. However, if everything, including matter, energy, life, and mental processes, is described in terms of information and consciousness, much progress can be made in the search for the ultimate theory of the universe. As brilliant and successful as physics and chemistry have been over the last two centuries, it is important that nature is not viewed solely in terms of matter and energy. Two additional components are needed to unlock her secrets. While extensive writing exists that describes the connection between matter and energy and their physical basis, little work has been done to learn the special relationship between matter, energy, information, and consciousness.

Learning to Pronounce as Measuring Cross Lingual Joint Orthography Phonology ...ijrap
Machine learning models allow us to compare languages by showing how hard a task in each language might be to learn and perform well on. Following this line of investigation, we explore what makes a language “hard to pronounce” by modelling the task of grapheme-to-phoneme (g2p) transliteration. By training a character-level transformer model on this task across 22 languages and measuring the model’s proficiency against its grapheme and phoneme inventories, we show that certain characteristics emerge that separate easier and harder languages with respect to learning to pronounce. Namely the complexity of a language's pronunciation from its orthography is due to the expressive or simplicity of its grapheme-to phoneme mapping. Further discussion illustrates how future studies should consider relative data sparsity per language to design fairer cross-lingual comparison tasks.

The majority of physicists take it for granted that the universe is made up of matter. In turn, matter is composed of atoms; atoms are made up of particles such as electrons, protons, neutrons, etc. Also, protons
and neutrons are composed of quarks, etc. Furthermore, that everything in nature is governed by the known laws of physics and chemistry. The author only partially shares this view. He argues that many phenomena in the universe may depend on rules or factors as yet incorporated by the physical sciences.
The last few years have led him to reflect on the many unsolved physics problems, such as the quest for the theory of everything (ToE), the arrow of time, the interpretation of quantum mechanics, the fine-tuned
universe, etc. to mention just a few. The author posits that a field carries information, performs various mathematical and computational operations, and behaves as an intelligent entity embedded with consciousness.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

ABSTRACT
The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a cold magnetized plasma with ferromagnetic grains (MPFG)
in the high frequency domain is studied theoretically. The dispersion of MPFG which is controlled by the
simultaneous characterization of the permittivity and permeability tensors. is investigated theoretically and
numerically near the resonance frequency. It is found that MPFG becomes transparent for the waves that
cannot propagate in conventional magnetized electron-ion plasma. The refractive index of the waves
propagating parallel to the applied magnetic field is found to be negative for the extraordinary wave in
certain frequency domain. The results obtained show that in a narrow band of the super-high-frequency
range near the electron cyclotron frequency, MPFG possess all the known characteristics of negative
refractive index media, which would make it as a viable alternative medium to demonstrate the known and
predicted peculiar properties of media having negative index of refraction.

1. INTRODUCTION
In his pioneering theoretical work, Veselago investigated the electrodynamics of media with
simultaneous negative values of the permittivity ε and permeability µ. His analysis showed that
for Maxwell's equations to be valid in such media, the corresponding index of refraction n = ±
(εµ)1/2
must be negative, and referred the media as left-handed which is synonymous with
negative refractive-index media (NRM). These media are expected to give rise to unprecedented
characteristics to the propagation of EMWs, such as the reversal of the Doppler effect, the
reversal of the Vavilov-Chernkov effect and anomalous (negative) refraction. [1]
Until recently, NRM and the associated peculiar properties are predicted through the application
of Maxwell's equations but never observed experimentally because no natural materials had such
properties [1]. However, in the late 1990s, following the proposal made by Pendry, et al. [2],
Smith and co-workers reported the fabrication of "artificial" metamaterials composed of an array
of conducting nonmagnetic split-ring resonators and continuous thin wires to make both the
effective permittivity and permeability simultaneously negative so that EMW propagation is
made possible in some special direction and special polarization at microwave frequencies [3, 4].
After this initial demonstration of the first metamaterial at microwave frequencies, various
theoretical and experimental methods and materials that can be suitable to realize negative
refractive index at higher microwaves and optical frequencies have been reported [5 - 10].
Metamaterials fabricated from chiral and anisotropic materials are widely used in an attempt to
realize NRM. For anisotropic materials, the quantities ε and µ are tensors. In particular, for
special types of anisotropic materials known as gyrotropic materials, when an external magnetic
field is applied in a certain direction.

The medium discussed in this paper consists of conventional magnetized electron-ion plasma
with the addition of the ferrite grains that are embedded uniformly in the plasma. The MPFG
medium is assumed to be a homogeneous medium which may be artificially fabricated from
magnetized electron-ion plasma with the addition of ferrite grains. Hence. the MPFG is
essentially a bi-anisotropic medium in a sense that both the permittivity and permeability are
second-rank tensors. In principle, such type of "composite" medium with its dispersion properties
controlled by the simultaneous specification of the permittivity and permeability tensors can
easily be fabricated in laboratory by incorporating ferromagnetic grains in a magnetized electron-
ion plasma. The resulting system, which is composed of the electric (magnetized plasma) and
magnetic (ferrite grains) subsystems, is named as magnetized plasma with ferrite grains (MPFG).
In such media the effective permittivity and permeability have the form ε = ε1 ± ε2 and µ = µ1 ±
µ2 where ε1 and µ1 are the diagonal components whereas ε2 and µ2 are of the off-diagonal
components of the permittivity and the permeability tensors, respectively. In certain frequency
range ε and µ may be simultaneously negative while the refractive index n = ± (εµ)1/2
is still real
so that EMWs can propagate in the medium in the given frequency range. Moreover, the
refractive index the MPFG may be negative for certain frequency domain in vicinity of the
resonant frequencies.
The paper is organized as follows: In sections 2.1, the propagation of EMWs in a material
medium is discussed. In section 2.2, the propagation of EMWs in magnetized plasma with ferrite
grains is considered. The condition under which negative refractive index in the MPFG can be
obtained is discussed in section 2.3. The results and discussion are presented in section 2.4.
Finally, in section 3 concluding remarks are given.

2.2. Permittivity and Permeability of MPFG
Consider magnetized electron-ion plasma with ferromagnetic grains (MPFG) in the presence of
an external constant magnetic field H0 and relatively weak time-varying field H(t). The
permittivity tensor of the plasma is well known and we take it according to the model of cold
magnetized plasma. Choosing the z-axis along the external magnetic field, the nonzero
components of the high frequency permittivity tensor components can be shown to have the form

In the presence of the external constant magnetic field H0 and the relatively weak time-varying
field H(t), magnetic dipole moments are induced in the MPFG and form a magnetic subsystem.
As a consequence, the subsystem possesses variable magnetization that results from the
interaction of the magnetic dipoles with the variable electromagnetic field. The permeability of
the system can be obtained by analyzing the motion of the magnetization vector of the ferrite
grains in those fields. In particular, for spherical and homogeneously magnetized ferrite grains,
the nonzero components of the permeability tensor of the grain's subsystem can be shown to have
the form [8]:

For the former case the medium behaves as right-hand medium (RHM), referring to the relative

which forms a right-handed triplets; whereas in the later case the medium behaves as left-handed
medium (LHM), since the three vectors k, E, and H forms a left-handed triplets. Commonly
LHM are also referred as negative refractive index medium (NRIM) or backward waves.
The main focus of the paper is the propagation of the extraordinary wave in the MPFG medium
where the medium behave as RHM as well as LHM in different frequency domains. In the next
sections, we consider the propagation of the extraordinary wave in the MPFG, in more detail.
2.4. Results and Discussions
For cold plasma, typical values of the plasma and the cyclotron frequencies are of the order of Ωe
∼ 2π (10 GHz) and ωc ∼ 2π (1GHz). The parameter αM = (16π2
/3) a3
Ng χ0 strongly depends on the
grain's radius a. For spherical grains of radius a ≈ 4 × 10-4
cm, density number Ng ≈ 2.5 ×105
cm-3
and magnetic susceptibility χ0 ≈ 5 × 103
, we get αM ≈ 0:85. For the sake of numerical
evaluations we choose, ωc = 2π (8 GHz), αe = 2π (16 GHz) and the corresponding values of αe =
2.00 and αM = 0.85.

Figure 1 is the plot of the effective permittivity ε and the effective permeability µ of the MPFG
versus the dimensionless frequency x in the range 0 < x < 3.5. It is seen that for 0 < x < 1 and x >
2.56, the permittivity is positive. This is consistent with the known result for the electron-ion
plasma in an external field in the absence of the ferrite grains, where αM = 0. In the interval 1 < x
< 2.56 the permittivity is negative. In this case, the refractive index becomes purely imaginary
and the MPFG is nontransparent to EMWs. The interval where ε is negative can be controlled by
varying the density number of the electrons (i.e., the temperature) in the plasma.
Figure 1: The effective permittivity (solid line) and permeability (dashed line) of MPFG versus the
dimensionless frequency (x) for αe = 2.00 and αM = 0.85. (Color on line)
Moreover, Fig. 1 shows that in the frequency interval 0 < x < 1 and x > 1.85, the permeability is
positive whereas in the interval 1 < x < 1.85 the permeability is negative. For RHM, the value of
µ is positive and in most cases it is equal to one. But the permeability of the ferrite grains that are
incorporated in the plasma is found to be negative in certain frequency range as shown in Fig. 1.
This frequency domain completely lies the region where ε < 0. It is the presence of this
overlapping frequency domain where ε and µ are simultaneously negative which makes MPFG an
interesting, potentially viable alternative NRIM that can be employed to demonstrate the peculiar
characteristics predicted in such media.

The graph of the refractive index n(x) and the square of the refractive index n2
(x) for the
extraordinary wave versus the relative frequency x is shown in Fig. 2, for αe = 2.00 and αM =
0.85. It is seen that in the frequency domains 0 < x < 1.85 and x > 2.56, n2
(x) is positive and the
MPFG is transparent to EMWs, whereas in the domain 1.85 < x < 2, n2
(x) is negative and the
medium is nontransparent to EMWs. The graph of n(x) versus x shows that in the frequency
interval 1 < x < 1.85, the refractive index is negative and consequently the medium behaves as a
LHM, in this frequency domain. Note that in the region 1 < x < 1.85, ε and µ are simultaneously
negative as shown in Fig. 1, so that the refractive index n(x) = ± (εµ)1/2
is negative but real. Note
that the conventional magnetized plasma is nontransparent in this frequency domain. However,
the addition of the ferrite grains to the plasma makes it possible for EMWs to propagate in the
combined system - MPFG. In the other frequency domains 0 < x < 1 and x > 2.56, the refractive
index is positive and the medium behaves as RHM. However, for 1.85 < I < 2.56, ε > 0; µ < 0
and the corresponding refractive index n(x) = ± (εµ)1/2
is purely imaginary - the MPFG is
nontransparent to EMWs.
The extent of the nontransparent region is a function of the parameters of the electric and
magnetic subsystem. It may be varied (tuned) by appropriate choice of the values of the
temperature of the MPFG (the density number of the plasma), the radius, or/and the density
number of the grains. Below, we show the case where the nontransparent frequency domain
observed in Fig. 2 is completely eliminated.
Figure 3: The effective permittivity (solid line) and permeability (dashed line) of MPFG versus the
dimensionless frequency (x) for αe = 1.25 and αM = 0.85. (Color on line)
Suppose that the MPFG system is tuned in such a way that αe = 1.25, keeping αM = 0.85 as in the
previous case. Figure 3 is the plot of the effective permittivity ε and the effective permeability µ
of the MPFG versus the dimensionless frequency x, for the tuned parameters αe = 1.25 and αM =
0.85 in the range 0 < x < 3.5. It is seen that for 0 < x < 1 and x > 1.85, the permittivity is positive;
whereas in the interval 1 < x < 1.85 the permittivity is negative. Similarly, Fig. 3 shows that in the
frequency interval 0 < x < 1 and x > 1.85, the permeability is positive whereas in the interval 1 < x
< 1.85 the permeability is negative. It is observed that the frequency domain where ε is negative
completely coincides (overlaps) with that where µ < 0. This overlapping frequency domain
where ε and µ are simultaneously negative enables the medium to be transparent to EMWs over
the whole frequency domain. However, the mode of propagation is different in different
frequency domains with the medium behaving as RHM as well as NRIM.

Figure 4: The refractive index and its square versus the dimensionless frequency (x) of the MPFG for αe =
1.25 and αM = 0.85.
The corresponding graph of the refractive index n(x) and the square of the refractive index n2
(x)
of the extraordinary wave versus the relative frequency for αe = 1.25 and αM = 0.85 is shown in
Fig. 4. The graph (solid line) shows that n2
(x) is positive over all frequencies. It means that the
MPFG is transparent to EMWs over the entire frequency range. Also, the plot of n versus x
depicts that in the frequency domain 1 < x < 1.85, where the effective permittivity and
permeability are simultaneously negative, the refractive index is negative and consequently the
medium behaves as LHM. In the other hand, for the frequency domain x > 1.85, both ε and µ are
simultaneously positive and hence the refractive index is positive so that the medium behaves as
RHM. Unlike the previous cases, i.e., Fig. 2, here the nontransparent frequency domain is
completely eliminated enabling the MPFG to be transparent to EMWs over the entire frequency.
3. CONCLUSIONS
In this work we showed that MPFG behaves as LHM in certain frequency range. In the MPFG,
the plasma provides negative permittivity whereas the ferrite grains provide negative permeability
in the range ωc < ω < 1.85ωc. In particular, for αM = 0.85 and αe = 2, ε < 0 in the frequency range
ωc < ω < 2.56ωc and µ < 0 in the range ωc < ω < 1.85ωc. It means that ε and µ are simultaneously
negative in the range ωc < ω < 1.85ωc giving rise to negative refractive index in the given region.
In the range 1.85ωc < ω < 2.56ωc, ε < 0, µ > 0 and n becomes purely imaginary so that the
medium is nontransparent to EMWs. For large frequencies (ω > 2.56), n(ω) > 0, and the MPFG
behaves as RHM.
The nontransparent region is mainly a function of the parameters of the grain subsystem. By
appropriately selecting (tuning) the parameter αe, while keeping αM constant the nontransparent
domain can be completely eliminated. With αM = 1.25 and αe = 0.85, the MPFG is made
transparent to EMWs over the entire frequency ranges. Thus, we conclude that in the MPFG
negative refractive index can be attained in a certain frequency range and as a result the MPFG
behaves as left-handed medium in the SHF (i.e., in the microwave) region.
