Optoelectronic devices applications based on Organic–inorganic perovskites are promising and effective low-cost energy materials due to their exceptional physical properties which include high carrier mobility, high optical absorption coefficient, and long carrier diffusion length. In the presented work, a TiO2/NiO+5% Fe quantum dots (QDs)–doped CsMAFAPbI2Br2 perovskite heterojunction broadband photodetector was fabricated on FTO/glass substrate. The…

We propose and analyze new impedance matching schemes to enhance applied voltage to an optical modulator and light modulation for a subcarrier multiplexed light transmitter or a radio-on-fiber transmitter that carries radio-frequency signal through an optical fiber. Our proposal includes two methods using a quarter-wavelength impedance transformer and a tapered microstrip line for impedance matching…

In underwater photographs are look like low-quality images, the main reason is behind that due to attenuation of the propagated light, absorption and scattering effect. The absorption significantly reduces the light energy, while the dispersion causes changes in the light propagation path. They result in foggy appearance and degradation of contrast, causing misty distant objects.…

For its importance nowadays in a wide range of applications such as the anechoic chamber, we introduce a microwave ultra-broadband polarization-independent metamaterial absorber (MA) in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF)/ Super High Frequency (SHF) frequency bands. Through this work, we improved the Relative Absorptive Bandwidth (RAB) of the conventional pyramidal absorber (CPA) by modifying its…

This is a report describing the impact of calcination on the morphological and optical properties of nanoparticles Iron doped-nickel oxide. By synthetic precipitation, the technique makes use of it. Three samples have been calcined in different temperatures and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy…

Starches have been applied as biomaterials due to their wide availability and biocompatibility. These have also been modified by oxidation, resulting in dialdehyde starch (DAS), to improve their stability in water and mechanical properties. Cassava starch with a low oxidation degree has been introduced into hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve their properties.…

Electrical and optical properties of polymer nanocomposite thin films have been analyzed to study their reliability and competency as a component for optoelectronic devices such as LED and solar cells. Polymer nanocomposite encounters various challenges, such as the dispersion of nanoparticles in the matrix that hinders their efficiency for potential devices. In this paper, two…

Prior to the 19th century discovery of Portland Cement (PC), Lime Based Mortar remained popular due to its flexibility, permeability and more importantly, associated low carbon emissions. However, lime’s characteristic delayed setting/hardening time, low mechanical strength, poor internal cohesion and some volumetric changes have overshadowed significance of its outstanding features particularly, flexibility, and consequently put…

Lead concentration on surface soil (0-20 cm), root and aerial part of natural and cultivated pastures were evaluated, in the rainy season (March 2018), collected in 20 sites of a rural community located 20 km from the La Oroya metallurgical complex , which has been emitting to the environment particulate material with heavy metals since…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in 2019 International Conference on Automation, Computational and Technology Management (ICACTM). A micro-strip patch in-body designed antenna is constructed on pacemaker to monitor and control the pacemaker wirelessly. The antenna is intended for ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band (2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz). A perfect…

Metamaterial antennas are some sort of antennas which utilize metamaterials to improve the efficiency of small (small electrical) antenna systems and also enhance the antenna’s radiation pattern. The unusual properties of metamaterials such as coefficients of permittivity and permeability, as well as the negative refractive index, have led to increase the use of these artificial…

High gain-bandwidth product and visible/UV contrast photodetectors are vital in Visible Light Communication (VLC) and Ultraviolet (UV) reflectance imaging applications respectively. We adopt material and structural optimization to perceive such photodetectors with back-illuminated Optical Field Effect Transistor (OPFET) wherein any potential difference in absorption coefficient of the semiconductor material between the visible and the UV…

Exploring the ocean underneath has always been an area of great scientific and environmental concern. However, the study of underwater environment was very difficult due to the extreme conditions. Undersea descriptions undergo severe distortion attributed to absorptive as well as scattering properties. Absorption substantially removes illumination, whereas a ray of light redirected in several path…

Diabetes is a condition of the body in which blood sugar level is higher than the normal average value. It is considered as a major cause of morbidity worldwide. According to the data reported in 2015,420 million people had diabetes worldwide, type 2 diabetes account for 85% of these cases. This shows 9.2% of the…

A functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be employed to investigate brain activation by measuring the absorption of near-infrared light through the intact skull. The general linear model (GLM) as a standard model for fMRI analysis has been applied to functional near-infrared spectroscopic (fNIRS) imaging analysis as well. The GLM has drawback of failure in fNIRS…
