The quantum and classical Fano parameter q Phys. Scripta (IF 1.985) Pub Date : 2021-02-20 Masatomi Iizawa; Satoshi Kosugi; Fumihiro Koike; Yoshiro Azuma
The Fano resonance has been a familiar and important feature in atomic and molecular physics for more than half a century. Typically, the combination of a discrete state with one or more continua results in an asymmetric peak in the ionization spectrum. The peak-shape, called the Fano profile, can be expressed by a simple formula derived by Fano in 1935. However, the interpretation of its characteristic

In this article, the heat transfer is examined in spinning flow of the Casson nanofluid. The spinning motion is produced with the help of stretching and rotating cylinder. In current work two cases, both for constant and variant axial temperature over the exterior of the spinning cylinder are studied. For controlling the rate of heat transfer, some heat effects such as heat generation/absorption, Joule

A new hyperchaotic complex system and its synchronization realization Phys. Scripta (IF 1.985) Pub Date : 2021-02-04 Zhengfeng Li; Fangfang Zhang; Xue Zhang; Yang Zhao
In this paper, we propose a new hyperchaotic complex system and systematically study its basic dynamic characteristics such as dissipation, Lyapunov exponent, attractor, parameter changes, and cross-section. The system is based on the complex Lorenz chaotic system, and the chaotic system has higher dimensionality and more parameters than complex Lorenz system. We provide a general method for constructing

Non-classicalities exhibited by the superposition of Schrdinger’s cat state with the vacuum of the optical field Phys. Scripta (IF 1.985) Pub Date : 2021-02-04 Karunesh Kumar Mishra; Dhiraj Yadav; Gaurav Shukla; Devendra Kumar Mishra
Superposition of two coherent states, the Schrodinger’s cat state, can exhibit different nonclassical properties having foundational applications in quantum information processing. We consider the ‘superposition of Schrodinger’s cat state with the vacuum state (SCVS)’ of the optical field. We discuss different witness of nonclassicality properties such as lower- and higher-order squeezing (viz., squeezing

Aero-acoustic response of flat plates at sub-sonic flow Phys. Scripta (IF 1.985) Pub Date : 2021-02-04 Atef El Khatib; Ahmad Al Miaari; Ali Hammoud
Natural aero-acoustic resonance of single and double flat plates was experimentally investigated. Ten single plates of six different chord-to-thickness ratios were tested for flow around single plate, and four different gap-to-thickness ratios were tested for flow around two plates in tandem. For the case of single plates, a tool for the prediction of resonant flow velocities was established using

Modelling charge carrier transport with anomalous diffusion and heat conduction in amorphous semiconductors using fractional calculus Phys. Scripta (IF 1.985) Pub Date : 2021-02-03 Mahnoor Khan; Amer Rasheed; Muhammad Shoaib Anwar; Zakir Hussain; Tahir Shahzad
An ordered semiconductor has a crystalline lattice in which charge carriers move around by the Gaussian process of normal diffusion. The mean square displacement (MSD) of these charge carriers is proportional to time. On the contrary, the movement of carriers in a material with a non-crystalline structure such as amorphous semiconductors is considered to be non-Gaussian in nature. In this case, MSD

Entropy scrutiny of couple stress nanoliquid flow with slip and convective conditions in an upright microchannel Phys. Scripta (IF 1.985) Pub Date : 2021-02-03 Gireesha B J; P Venkatesh; Almeida F
This article delves into the steady flow of couple stress nanoliquid by applying the magnetic field in conjunction with the resultant entropy produced in an upright microchannel which is immersed with Titanium-dioxide nano-sized particles with water being base fluid. Both the walls facilitate injection and suction of the fluid. The entropy generated and Bejan number is figured out by making use of

Controlled imprisonment of wave packet and flat bands in a fractal geometry Phys. Scripta (IF 1.985) Pub Date : 2021-02-02 Atanu Nandy
The explicit construction of non-dispersive flat band modes and the tunability of has been reported for a hierarchical 3-simplex fractal geometry. A single band tight-binding Hamiltonian defined for the deterministic self-similar non-translationally invariant network can give rise to a countably infinity of such self localized eigenstates for which the wave packet gets trapped inside a characteristic

Effect of streaming velocity, magnetic field, and higher-order correction on the nature of ion acoustic solitons in the Venusian ionosphere Phys. Scripta (IF 1.985) Pub Date : 2021-02-02 A A Fayad; W M Moslem; S K El-Labany
Propagation properties of weakly nonlinear ion acoustic waves are investigated in a plasma at the Venusian ionosphere. The plasma model consists of two positive cold ions (oxygen O + and hydrogen H +), as well as isothermal electrons. The basic set of fluid equations is reduced to Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation and linear inhomogeneous ZK-type equation (LIZKT) equation. The renormalization method
