Overview of Ionic Polarization: A Model Based Novel Approach
Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of ionic polarization through a novel model-based approach that integrates theoretical, computational, and experimental methodologies. Ionic polarization, which significantly influences the dielectric properties of materials, is examined through the lens of the Clausius-Mossotti equation and the Debye relaxation model, providing a theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between ionic displacement and dielectric behavior. To explore ionic displacement and polarization at the atomic level, advanced …

Revealing the Effect of Swift Carbon Ion Beam on Radiation Sensitivity of Radio-frequency Magnetron Sputtered Grown Alumina Thin Films
Abstract: Regarding targeted treatment, hadron therapy is beneficial than conventional radiotherapy based on X rays/gamma rays due to characteristic energy loss profile of energetic charged particle during ion matter interaction. In this regard, dose monitoring and its precise measurement with spatial accuracy are very crucial. Thermoluminescence (TL) based thin film radiation dosimeter has the potential to serve this purpose. In hadron therapy, use of swift carbon ion beam is found to …

Solid-State Reactions: Mechanistic Insights, Kinetic Behavior and Emerging Applications in Advanced Materials
Abstract: Solid-state reactions are fundamental to the synthesis and transformation of inorganic materials, playing a crucial role in the development of ceramics, semiconductors, catalysts, and energy storage systems. Unlike reactions in liquid or gaseous phases, they are limited by restricted atomic mobility and typically require elevated temperatures to enhance diffusion and overcome activation energy barriers. These reactions proceed through interfacial contact between solid reactants, followed by nucleation of product phases and …

Structure–Optical Property Correlation of Co-Doped TiO₂ and ZnO Nanofillers for Advanced Functional Composite Applications
Abstract: This study investigates the enhancement of the structural and optical properties of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles through cobalt (Co) doping. Pristine TiO₂ and ZnO are widely studied metal oxides; however, their large band gaps and limited visible-light absorption restrict their performance in optoelectronic, photocatalytic, and environmental applications. Co doping is employed as an effective strategy to overcome these limitations by inducing band-gap narrowing, creating defect-related electronic …
