This study was carried out using DFT theory and Kohn-Sham equation by self-consistent field (SCF) that performed by local density approximation (LDA). The nanowires morphology is cylindrical with [111] growth orientation and their lateral surface was saturated by hydrogen atoms. The results show that band gap of these nanowires is smaller to bulk diamond due to high surface to volume ratio and formation surface level. The results of ammonia molecule doping with carbon surface atoms at saturated diamond nanowire in [100] orientation lead to decrease in band gap until nanowire converted into a n-type semiconductor.   In this paper size effects, growth orientation and also doping by Ammonia molecule (NH3) on the carbon nanowire properties with saturated diamond structure by (DNw:H) have been investigated.

Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electron transition occurred from semiconductor to metal in the tetragonal structure of Sr2CoWO6, and from insulator to metal in the two tetragonal structures of Sr2NiWO6 and Sr2CuWO6. Furthermore, in Sr2CoWO6, another electron transition occurred from metal to half-metal, due to the octahedral rotation of cobalt and possibly because of changes in the magnetic interactions resulting from it. Structurally, the lattice parameters of Sr2CoWO6 and Sr2NiWO6 were decreased by eliminating magnetic interactions. But, the lattice parameters of Sr2CuWO6 was increased with loss of magnetic order, due to the dominance of Jahn-Teller deviation.

These disks are formed around gravitational compact objects such as black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs. Although most analytical researches have been conducted in this context in the framework of Newtonian dynamics and gravity, it is necessary to consider the effects of relativity on the structure of disks near the central body. To this end, by adding the post-Newtonian corrections to the hydrodynamic equations of the fluids, the equations for the time transformation of the accretion disks at the post-Newtonian limit were obtained; by using this equation, the surface density of the disk, which is dependent on radius and time, is got quasi- analytically.

At first, FeNi alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by the one-pot polyol process, and then, in-situ polymerization method was used for the preparation of FeNi@PANI nanocomposite. The XRD pattern confirmed the formation of pure FeNi alloy with the FCC crystalline phase. The VSM results showed that the saturation magnetization of FeNi@PANI nanocomposite is significantly smaller than that of the FeNi alloy nanoparticles. The microwave absorption was measured in the range of 8 to 12 GHz. The obtained results revealed that the presence of the PANI leads to an increase in the wave absorption of FeNi@PANI nanocomposite compared to that of FeNi alloy. The maximum reflection loss of -4 dB (~ 60% of the loss) and a bandwidth of 350 MHz were measured at -3 dB for the prepared nanocomposite.   In this research, FeNi@PANI nanocomposites as the electromagnetic wave absorbers were prepared through two following steps.

The spectrometer is a fast-slow arrangement with time resolution of 250 ps. To obtain lifetime components and their intensities from analyzing positron annihilation lifetime spectrum, the Pascual software is used. Positrons are from a source of radioactive 22NaCl with 20 μCi activity enclosed in 7μm thick Mylar foil. The source correction to lifetime components and their intensities were carried out though measurements on defect-free Aluminum samples and Mylar foils. The positron annihilation lifetime spectrum in nickel ferrite and iron oxide nanopowders were measured. The shortest component was attributed to the annihilation of nonlocalized positrons in the samples. The intermediate lifetime is due to annihilation of positron in octahedral and tetrahedral cationic vacancies in the spinel structure and to annihilation of positrons in the surface of nanoparticles and vacancy clusters. The longest component is attributed to the annihilation of orthopositronium atoms formed in the large free volumes in the intergranular regions of the nanoparticles through ‘‘pick-off” process.

So, the possibility of an optimal size for their use in medical applications has been reported. Therefore, in this study, cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were prepared using co-precipitation method  at 80°C; then the powder was annealed  in a furnace at 150, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600°C to obtain nanoparticles with different sizes. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the formation of a pure spinel phase in the nanoparticles, and the average size of the  crystalites of the samples was determined by Scherrer's formula  to be  8.18, 9.04 , 8.95, 9.55, 10.40 and 11.12 nm for synthesized samples at 150 to 600°C, respectively. Measurements of magnetic properties also indicated an increase in the field and the saturation magnetization by enhancing the size. The heat generation  efficiency of the nanoparticles suspension was measured by the application of an alternating magnetic field at 92 kHz and the temperature increase curve was calculated versus time. These experiments showed that the highest value of specific adsorption rate for nanoparticles of about 9 nm, and particles larger or smaller than that amount led to a smaller absorption rate. The results of this study, suggest an optimal size for hypertherma applications in which the highest thermal efficiency is achieved.

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a widely used technique for determining size distribution of spherical particle in nanometer and submicron size range. In this method, there are different algorithms for determining the size and size distribution of particles, which are selected according to the required accuracy as well as the sample. In this paper, a review of the theory of DLS and commonly used algorithms to determine particle size, have been carried out. The accuracy and performance range of the two common Cumulant analysis and Contin algorithm have been experimentally investigated, by using the wide range of sizes (20-900 nanometer) of standard spherical polystyrene particles. It is shown that both algorithms results are quite consistent with the manufacturer’s values for diameter of particles. Since most of the samples in the more common situation are not uniform particles with a narrow size distribution, mixtures of two standard particles of different sizes were studied by both algorithms to test the performance of DLS in non-standard samples. Method of Cumulant reports one size that is not consistent with the size of any particles in the sample. However, the polidispersity index (PDI) indicates that the sample size distribution is very wide. Method of Contin reports only one size that is not also consistent with the size of any particles, but, it is closer to the larger one. The results of both algorithms indicate that the DLS fails to determine size distribution in the mixed samples.  Determination of particle size is one of the major needs in the industry and biotechnology.

The results indicated that the KP compound as the half-metal in the RS structure, in contrast to the CsCl structure, due to the small lattice constant and failure of Stoner criterion, did not have any magnetic properties. Half-metallic gap value obtained was remarkable for the RS structure. Although the KP compound in the CsCl structure was more stable than the RS structure energetically, from a dynamical point of view, the RS structure was stable and the CsCl structure was unstable. Calculations corresponding to the (001) surface of the RS structure also demonstrated the conservation of the bulk half-metallic properties in this crystallographic direction. So, the nano-layers of the KP compound in the RS structure might be an appropriate candidate for application in the near future spintronics devices.

This method is, however, very time-consuming (few days) and it is difficult to control the reaction parameters. To overcome these drawbacks, we have proposed a method to use an Li battery set-up to significantly reduce the reaction time (few hours) and electrochemically intercalate lithium ions into MS2 layers in a controllable manner. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy results revealed that MoS2 and WS2 single-layer (thickness of ~ 1 nm) nanosheets with the 1T phase were prepared after intercalation in an Li battery set-up. Lateral dimensions of MoS2 and WS2 nanosheets were determined to be at about ~ 170 ± 15 and 200 ± 30 nm, respectively. The concentrations of the final solutions containing MoS2 and WS2 nanosheets were measured to be 0.012 and 0.008 mg/mL, respectively. Successful fabrication of the single-layer MS2 nanosheets using the Li battery set-up could provide an excellent opportunity to investigate the unique properties of these two-dimensional crystals for various important applications such as catalysis, solar cells, optoelectronic, etc. Lithium intercalation is a convenient method to prepare few-layer and single-layer MS2 (M=Mo, W) nanosheets.

Second, the oscillator on the sphere is considered as the usual (degenerate) two--dimensional oscillator. Then, by investigating the quantum optical properties of the constructed coherent states, we study the effect of the space curvature on the properties of the constructed sphere Gazeau-Klauder coherent states, according to these two approaches.

The vertical component of the dispersion velocity of stars is a function of the galactic latitude and decreases with increasing it. In the galactic Besancon model, this dependence is ignored and they just consider the dependence of dispersion velocity on the stellar age. Becanson model is mostly applied to interpret the observational data of gravitational microlensing events to indicate the power index of the power-law number density of mass into the galactic disk. In this paper, we explain that ignoring the dependence of the dispersion velocity on the galactic latitude causes an overestimation of the number of low-mass objects in the galactic disk.     Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy and its stars are mostly in a thin disk and rotate around the galactic center.

In Markovian regime, we show that coherence and entanglement are very sensitive to bath temperature and vanish in time in contrary to the case of having zero-temperature bath. That is while, finding the last qubit of the chain in excited state increases by increasing the bath temperature. The obtained results show the destructive role of temperature on coherence and entanglement and confirm that these quantum mechanical features cannot affect probability of finding the last qubit in excited state.

Given that the experimental branching ratio for this decay was within the range of 3.75*10-5 to 11.16*10-5; it was decided to calculate the theoretical branching ratio by applying the final state interaction (FSI) through the T and cross-section channels. In this process, before the  Bc+ meson was decayed into two final state mesons of DoK+, it was first decayed into two intermediate mesons like j/ψDs*+; then, these two mesons were transformed into two final mesons by exchanging another meson like Do. The FSI effects were very sensitive to the changes in the phenomenological parameter, which appeared in the form factor relation; this is since in most calculations, changing two units in this parameter makes the final result be multiplied by the branching ratio; therefore, the decision to use FSI was not unexpected. In this study, there were nineteen intermediate states in which the contribution of each one was calculated and summed in the final amplitude. Therefore, the numerical value of the branching ratio of  +B+c →DoK decay was obtained by calculating the FSI effects from 1.75 * 10-5to 11.65 * 10-5, which was consistent with the experimental results In this paper, the decay of Bc+ meson, which consists of two b and c heavy quarks, into the Do and K+  mesons was studied.

For this reason, in this paper we will study the production process of this meson in a phenomenological approach using the experimental data from electron-positron annihilation. In this regards, we shall calculate the fragmentation function of B meson at next-to-leading order of perturbative QCD. We will impose the effect of B meson mass into the calculations for the first time. To perform our analysis, we will employ all available experimental data reported by the OPAL, ALEPH, SLD2002 and DELPHI collaborations. Our results show that the meson mass plays important roles in correction of fragmentation functions, specially, at low values of fragmentation parameter.

The results showed that the orientation of the structure layers (geometric induced anisotropy) affected the magnetic transverse polarization spectra in the region, such that the structure exhibited the hyperbolic dispersion. Also, in the large frequency range, in which the medium had hyperbolic dispersion, due to the presence of  graphene nanolayer, the transmission of the structure was vanished; by increasing tilt angle of layers with respect to the boundary, it was gradually decreased and finally disappeared In this paper, the  optical properties of a semi-infinite medium composed of graphen-based hyperbolic meta-materials with the optical axis were tilted with respect to its boundary with air, by using the  Maxwell equations; then  the homogeneous effective medium approximation method was  studied.

In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered,  but our information about  the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as  scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have neither approved nor rejected. Some complicated models offer many parameters that must be determined. Among these models, the singlet scalar dark matter model is the simplest one that contains just two free parameters to specify.
