ZnO and ZnO: Mn nanocrystals synthesized via reverse micelle method. The structural properties nanocrystals were investigated by XRD and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD results indicate that the synthesized nanocrystals had a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. The various optical properties of these nanocrystals such as optical band gap energy, refractive index, dielectr...

In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...

This study proposes a concurrent dual-band filter that consists of two single-band filters using quarter-wavelength resonators. The two single-band filters, having different feeding structures, can be designed separately. The lower-band filter has tapped feeding structure and the higher-band filter has coupling feeding structure where the input/output line and the lower-band resonator constitut...

Background and Objectives: In this paper, a new design strategy was proposed in order to enhance bandwidth and efficiency of power amplifier. Methods: To realize the introduced design strategy, a power amplifier was designed using TSMC CMOS 0.18um technology for operating in the Ka band, i.e. the frequency range of 26.5-40GHz. To design the power amplifier, first a power divider (PD) with a ver...

   We have investigated the electronic and optical properties of AlN hexagonal nanosheets under different kinds of strains, using the band structure results obtained through the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the density functional theory. The results show that 10% uniaxial strain along the zig-zag direction induces an indirect to direct band-gap transition. Th...

First principle calculations were performed using Density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to understand the electronic properties of Au(100)+TBT system and compare the results with Au(100) and bulk Au properties. Band structure, the total DOS and charge density for these materials are calculated. We found that the HOMO for Au(100)+TBT becomes broader than Au...

in this paper, a new algorithm for studying elastic wave propagation in the phononic crystals is presented. at first, the displacement-based forms of elastic wave equations are derived and then the forms are discretized using finite difference method. so the new algorithm is called the displacement-based finite difference time domain (dbfdtd). three numerical examples are computed with this met...
