These properties contain electric current, spin polarization and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). For this purpose, spin-dependent Hamiltonian is described for Δ1 and Δ5 bands in the transport direction. The transmission is calculated by Green's function formalism based on a single-band tight-binding approximation. The transport properties are investigated as a function of the barrier thickness in the limit of coherent tunneling. We have demonstrated that dependence of the TMR on the applied voltage and barrier thickness. Our numerical results may be useful for designing of spintronic devices.

Using this theory, termodynamic properties, such as heat capacity, energy, entropy and order parameters ofandnuclei has been investigated. In the heat capacity curve, calculated according to tempreture, a smooth peak is observed which is assumed to be a signature of transition from the paired phase to the normal phase of the nuclei. The same pattern is also observed in the experimental data of the heat capacity of the studied nuclei. Calculations of this model shows that, by increasing tempreture, expectation value of the order parameter tends to zero with smoother slip, comparing with Ginsberg – Landau theory. This indicates  that the pairing effect exists between nucleons even at high temperatures. The experimental data obtained confirms the results of the model qualitatively.

The beneficial role of n-heptan solvent was the dilution of the reacting precursors. This could consequently create smaller TiO2 nanocrystals and a better powder effective area. The anatase phase TiO2 nanopowder was achieved by performing an annealing process at 450 ˚C for 1h. Then, the TiO2 nanocrystals were added to an aqueous solution of polyethylene glycol with suitable concentration, as a pastiness factor, to form a viscous TiO2 paste . Finally the prepared paste was deposited on glass FTO substrates by standard doctor blade method and the photoanode of the dye sensitized solar cells  was prepared.Then other steps, consisting of dye adsorption, preparation of platinum counter electrode and injection of  electrolyte were performed. The results demonstrated that the energy conversion efficiency was maximum for the cell with 15 μm photoanode thickness. The photovoltaic parameters of this cell were measured as 12.44 mA/cm2 , 655 mV, 0.55 and 4.4 % for the Jsc, Voc, FF and efficiency, respectively.  Iranian Journal of Physics Research Isfahan University of Technology, The Physics Society of Iran 1682-6957 16 v. 2 no. 2019 173 177 https://ijpr.iut.ac.ir/article_1192_d13bfdbbf4cfa36c5ab13cdc0fa185ae.pdf dx.doi.org/10.18869/acadpub.ijpr.16.2.173 On the energy gain enhancement of DT+D3He fuel configuration in nuclear fusion reactor driven by heavy ion beams S Khoshbinfar 1. گروه فیزیک، دانشکده علوم پایه، دانشگاه گیلان، رشت author S A Taghavi 2. دانشکده فیزیک، دانشگاه دامغان، دامغان author text article 2019 per It is expected that advanced fuels be employed in the second generation of nuclear fusion reactors. Theoretical calculations show that in such a fuel, a high plasma temperature about 100 keV is a requisite for reaction rate improvement of nuclear fusion. However, creating such a temporal condition requires a more powerful driver than we have today. Here, introducing an optimal fuel configuration consisting of DT and D-3He layers, suitable for inertial fusion reactors and driven by heavy ion beams, the optimal energy gain conditions have been simulated and derived for 1.3 MJ system. It was found that, in this new fuel configuration, the ideal energy gain, is 22 percent more comparing with energy gain in corresponding single DT fuel layer. Moreover, the inner DT fuel layer contributed as an ignition trigger, while the outer D3He fuel acts as particle and radiation shielding as well as fuel layer.

These waves are tiny fluctuations in world frame that dessipate energy throghout space. The gravitatinal waves spectra of fluctuations can be originated from the non-linear effects during different cosmic evolution periods, especially from initially non-linear and excited vacuum state in the very early universe. Based on this fact, in this paper introducing "excited-de Sitter vacuum" as a fundamental mode, the obtained power spectrum has been investigated. Corrected spectra obtained from Hilbert and Krein spaces are compared.The renormalization approach presented in this work, preserves the curved space-time symmetry and stimulates us to use excited de Sitter mode. Also, the corrections obtained from the non-linear mode includes the second-order corrections and in the linear limit accords with the results from conventional methods.

By performing  a functional variation of the total Helmholtz free energy of system with respect to the nucleonic distribution function in phase space to reach an equilibrium state according to the second low of thermodynamics, we obtain  expressions for the effective mass which is only density dependent and the effective one-body potential  whereby the key quantity of the extended effective mass with both density and temperature dependency is determined. Accordingly, we reach to the explicit form of distribution function. In this mode, extensive thermodynamic quantities such as, inner energy, entropy and Helmholtz free energy are determined as the functionals of the distribution function for given temperature and density. In this research special attentions has been paid to the critical behavior and stability of symmetric nuclear matter. Our findings about the quantities which describe critical behavior of symmetric nuclear matter are in good agreement with other proposed models.

Mini-dimmings are sometimes associated with wave-like brightening, called coronal mass ejections. Here, the sun full disk images with 171 Å wavelenght, cadence of 2.5, and  0.6 arcsec cell size, were taken on 3 March 2012, then the obtained data were analyzed. Using Zernike Moment and Support Vector Machine (SVM), mini dimmings are detected. 538 active region events, 680 coronal hole events and 723 quiet sun events have been recognized using algorithm. The position, time duration and spatial expansion of these events were computed .The eruptive dimmings have a more spatial development than thermal dimmings after eruptions. This is evident in their graph characteristics length. Then, using graph theory, eruptive and thermal mini-dimmings were classified, with 13% error, for 200 dimmings. 68 dimmings were classified as thermal, and 132 as eruptive. To do this, evolution of graph characteristic length were used.

The results show that the behavior of electronic conductance is different in resonance and nonresonance cases with respect to variation of bond defect position. The conductance value at the zero energy tunes by variation of defect position, only for the cases which includes double bonds. These changes is more observable especially at the polyacetylene nanowires. The amount of antiresonance shift with respect to bond defect position, in conductance spectrum, strongly depends on type and shape of center wire structure.

The group velocity dispersion (GVD) and relativistic effects has been taken into account in propagation equations. It is concluded that the relativistic effect induces positive chirp on laser pulse propagating into plasma channel for every initial chirp, while the GVD effect can induce a negative or positive chirp on laser pulse depending on initial chirp. As the relativistic effect overcomes on GVD in nonlinear region, the induced chirp would be positive. Comparing the results, it is concluded that propagating a laser pulse with initial positive chirp is more effective than a negative and un-chirped pulse for generating a  higher wake field.
