A strong temperature dependent phenomenon of the Josephson plasma resonance mode has been found in high-Tc superconductor Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ in a microwave frequency region between 9 and 50 GHz. The longitudinal plasma frequency sharply decreases and disappears just below Tc. The extrapolated plasma energy is estimated to be ℏω p (0)=2.59× 10-4 eV . Since the plasma frequency, ω p , is determined by the Anderson-Higgs–Kibble mechanism and it is expected to be temperature independent, this phenomenon can not be accounted for by the conventional underst and ing of the plasma mode in superconductors. Experimental results are discussed in terms of the two fluid model, in which the intrinsic Josephson nature of the coupling restricting the tunneling probability of quasiparticles between layers is considered to be as a dumping mechanism of the quasiparticles in this system.

In this work, transmittance spectrum for a quasiperiodic one-dimensional photonic crystal, composed of high-temperature superconductor and semiconductor layers arranged within the crystal based on a Dodecanacci sequence, has been calculated using the transfer matrix method and the two-fluid model. The critical temperature of the superconductor depends on the hydrostatic pressure, while the semiconductor’s plasma frequency and dielectric constant were considered to be dependent on both the pressure and temperature applied. We have found that the transmittance spectrum shows the band gaps unfolded and increased in number when the Dodecanacci sequence increased. In addition, this work shows that transmission responses can be tuned to higher frequencies as pressure increases. However, a small red shift of the transmittance spectrum can be observed as temperature increases. Finally, the research observed the maximization of the band gaps by increasing the thickness of the superconductor layers. We hope this work may be considered for application in tunable narrowband filters.

AbstractThe present communication presents a theoretical study of blood flow through a stenotic artery with a porous wall comprising Brinkman and Darcy layers. The governing equations describing the flow subjected to the boundary conditions have been solved analytically under the low Reynolds number and mild stenosis assumptions. Some special cases of the problem are also presented mathematically. The significant effects of the rheology of blood and porous wall of the artery on physiological flow quantities have been investigated. The results reveal that the wall shear stress at the stenotic throat increases dramatically for the thinner porous wall (i.e. smaller values of the Brinkman and Darcy regions) and the rate of increase is found to be 18.46% while it decreases for the thicker porous wall (i.e. higher values of the Brinkman and Darcy regions) and the rate of decrease is found to be 10.21%. Further, the streamline pattern in the stenotic region has been plotted and discussed.
