First principle calculations of nanolayered ZnO polymorphs (Wurzite–, Zincblende–, Rocksalt–structures) in the scheme of density functional theory were performedwith the help of full potential linear augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. Theexchange - correlation potential is described by generalized gradient approximation asproposed by Perdew–Burke–Ernzrhof (GGA–PBE) and modified Becke–Johns...

The Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid, dimedone and malononitrile occurred in the presence of BF3/nano-γ-Al2O3 at room temperature in ethanol. This catalyst is characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy-disper...

This study introduces an experimental and theoretical investigation of the performance of a proposed air dehumidification system using a nanofluid of γ-alumina nano-particles in LiBr/H2O as a desiccant. Comparative experiments organized using a central composite design were carried out to evaluate the effects of six numerical factors (air velocity, desiccant flow rate, air humidity ratio, desic...

In this note, we present a Γ-convergence type result for ferromagnetic films. We propose a model of films for which we could ensure the strong convergence of minimizers when the exchange parameter vanishes. In this model, the plate thickness is kept constant and the magnetization stays constant in the thickness of the film.

We consider the Gamma limit of the Abelian Chern-SimonsHiggs energy

This study was designed to probe the fabrication of unique silver and gold nano-structures engaging a self-designed chitosan-porous anodic alumina nano-composite as a template. Porous anodic alumina has been manufactured by di-step aluminum anodization in an oxalic acid electrolytic bath. The surface properties of porous anodic alumina were reinforced by chitosan neutralized in sodium hydro...

the formation of nano/ultrafine grained ferrite in low carbon steels containing different amounts of niobiumwas investigated using thermomechanical treatment which consisted of annealing of 85% cold rolled martensite with different parameters. the specimens were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy and vickers hardness test. a lamellar dislocation cell structure was formed ...

We study the asymptotic behaviour in terms of Γ-convergence of the following one dimensional energy

nowdays,  iron  nanoparticles  due  to  their  unique  characteristics  are used  in  all  of  sciences  and  technology.  these  nano  particles  due  to their  electrical, magnetic,  optical  and  catalytic  properties  and  having high  area  and  activity  that  is  promped  by  their  small  size  and most importantly  many  scientists  from  the  entire  world  are  interested  in their  ...
