Good quality single crystals of L-valine copper chloride were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique with different concentrations (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0 mol). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique reveals that the grown single crystals were crystallized in the monoclinic structure. Kurtz powder technique was used to test the nonlinear optical (NLO) activity of the samples which

Nonlinear hydromagnetic instability of oscillatory rotating rigid-fluid columns Indian J. Phys. (IF 1.407) Pub Date : 2021-02-23 Yusry O. El-Dib, Galal M. Moatimid, Amal A. Mady, Marwa H. Zekry
The current paper is concerned with the nonlinear stability analysis of rotating magnetic fluid columns. The rotation sources are a mixture of both uniform and oscillating behavior. The motivation behind tackling this topic is the increasing interest in atmospheric and oceanic motions. The system consists of two magnetic phase fluid that fills two infinite vertical cylinders. An azimuthal uniform magnetic

Phenomenon of stochastic resonance for an underdamped monostable system with multiplicative and additive noise Indian J. Phys. (IF 1.407) Pub Date : 2021-02-19 Feng Guo, Chengyin Zhu, Sunli Wang, Xueyuan Wang
The stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon for an underdamped monostable system with multiplicative and additive noise is investigated. The expression for the stationary probability density is obtained under the condition of the detailed balance and weak noise. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the monostable system is derived based on two-state theory. The result shows that the SR phenomenon can be

New cylindrically symmetric solution of Einstein field equations their conservation laws and the particles dynamics Indian J. Phys. (IF 1.407) Pub Date : 2021-02-15 Israr Ali Khan, Amir Sultan Khan, Farhad Ali, Saeed Islam
The study explores the particle dynamics, asymptotic behavior, and flatness in Riemann curvature corresponding to the solutions obtained from the Ricci tensor of cylindrical spacetimes. Since these solutions are non-Minkowskian and are proposed to have curvature in almost all the cases, that is why some cylindrically symmetric static vacuum solutions of Einstein Field Equations have been worked out

Role of EQ preparatory processes on ionospheric parameters through analysis of ionization density of Spread F-layer and Sporadic E Indian J. Phys. (IF 1.407) Pub Date : 2021-02-13 R. Athparia, M. Devi, A. K. Barbara
In this paper, the approaches adopted for the extraction of earthquake-induced features from ionospheric irregularities like spread F and sporadic E are discussed. For this purpose, a few Japan earthquakes (EQ) with magnitude M > 7 are selected. The selection procedures for identifying earthquake-induced effects in these irregularity parameters are discussed, and the EQ time signature in these irregularities

Fabrication and characterization of Al/LiCdO/p-Si optical sensor Indian J. Phys. (IF 1.407) Pub Date : 2021-02-11 Mehmet Çavaş
In this study, the sol–gel spin-coating method was used to produce pure CdO and 0.1% Li-doped CdO thin films. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of the Li-doping ratio on the photoresponse of CdO thin film. Within this scope, pure CdO and Li-doped CdO chemical solutions were prepared and then deposited onto p-Si wafer and microscope glass as a thin film. Then, the surface

Dynamics of Bianchi type- $$\hbox {VI}_{0}$$ VI 0 anisotropic dark energy cosmological model with massive scalar field in Lyra manifold Indian J. Phys. (IF 1.407) Pub Date : 2021-02-10 Shri Ram, M. K. Verma
The paper deals with the study of anisotropic dark energy and massive scalar field in the evolution of spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-\(\hbox {VI}_{0}\) cosmological model in the framework of Lyra geometry. Exact solution of Einstein’s field equations is obtained by using two supplementary physical and mathematical conditions which correspond to an anisotropic dark energy cosmological model for

A comparison between Sc and Cu segregation to Al (1 0 0)/Al 3 Li (1 0 0) interface Indian J. Phys. (IF 1.407) Pub Date : 2021-02-08 Xin-Di Hao, Hai-Ming Zong, Jian-Gang Yao, Deng-Feng Yin
To evaluate the alloying effect on Al–Li alloy, we conduct a theoretical exploration to predict the behaviors of Sc and Cu segregation to Al/δ′ interface. The results show that Sc tends to segregation at Al3Li layer by substituting Li atom, while Cu prefers to replace Al atom of Al layer at the interface. The improvement of interface strength caused by segregated Sc and Cu is similar. The analysis
