Numerical calculations carried out for Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with different widths and edge conditions (zigzag and armchair) reveal the well-known results that the electronic properties of GNRs depend strongly on the size and geometry of the sample.

In turn, the set of hierarchic principles is put in the methodological basis of this theory. It is shows, a peculiar version of the theory of hierarchic waves and oscillations can be developed on the basis of proposed general theory. V. V. Kulish I. V. Gubanov Le Huu Dien Nguyen Ai Viet O.

The nanoparticles were synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The effects of substituting Zn for Mn on the magnetic properties and particles size were focused. It was found that the phase-formation temperature is 90OC and the average particle size decreases from 40 nm to 10 nm when increased Zn concentration from zero to 0.8. The Curie temperature TC strongly decreases from 585 K (x = 0) to 320 K (x = 0.8) concomitantly with a decrease of the saturation magnetization MS. With a TC of 320 K and MS of 17 emu/g, the x=0.8 sample could be a promising candidate for some biomedical applications.

Description of the reflection, transmission of the electromagnetic wave in multilayer structures composed from cholesteric liquid crystals have been shown. Futher the dependence of the reflection spectrum on the polarization of the incident beam and magnitude of the external electric field are determined.

The structure and particle size of the obtained powders were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and shown that all samples are single phase with sphalerite crystal structure and average particle size of about 5 - 7 nm. The dependence of Mn2+ ions doped concentration, and UV irradiation time on the luminescent intensity of ZnS:Mn nanocrystals was discussed.

To have the cross-section of active volume or excited volume coincides with one of laser mode volume, the dependence of pump intensity distribution on location of outside pump beams is investigated by simulation.

It takes in account for the self-absorption (self-attenuation) of gamma rays in samples. The self-absorption effect is small or large depend on the sample shapes, matrices and densities. In this paper, we investigated the effect of some regular matrices such as water, soil, epoxy resin on the detector efficiency. Some analytical formulas for the correction of matrix and densities for soil sample was established and applied to calculate some activities from standard sample of IAEA-375.

In this work a Monte-Carlo calculation has been used to evaluate the production yield of neutrons from the (γ, n) and (γ, 2n) reactions following the bremsstrahlung produced by a 100 MeV electron beam on a tungsten target.

It is proposed that along with the SLT of the space-time coordinates, the Dirac equation should be treated simultaneously by a Majorana-like representation to be invariant. This formalism leads to a natural understanding of Majorana physics. Vo Van Thuan Copyright (c) 2009-05-27 2009-05-27 19 1 59 64
