Dark Energy Models and Cosmic Acceleration with Anisotropic Universe in f（T） Gravity

This paper is devoted to studing the accelerated expansion of the universe in context of f（T） theory of gravity. For this purpose, we construct different f（T） models and investigate their cosmological behavior through equation of state parameter by using holographic, new agegraphic and their power-law entropy corrected dark energy models. We discuss the graphical behavior of this parameter versus redshif~ for particular values of constant parameters in Bianchi type I universe model. It is shown that the universe lies in different forms of dark energy, namely quintessence, phantom, and quintom corresponding to the chosen scale factors, which depend upon the constant parameters of the models.     

Mn–AlInN: a new diluted magnetic semiconductor

Mn ions have been incorporated into MOCVD grown Al_1−x In _x N/GaN thin films by ion implantation to achieve the room temperature ferromagnetism in the samples. Magnetic characterizations revealed the presence of two ferromagnetic transitions: one has Curie points at ∼260 K and the other above room temperature. In-diffusion of indium caused by the Mn implantation leads to the partition of AlInN epilayer into two diluted magnetic semiconductor sub-layers depending on the Mn concentration. The Curie temperature of 260 K is assigned to the layer having lower concentration, whereas T _c above room temperature is assumed to be associated to the layer having higher Mn concentration.     

In‐situ polymerization of aliphatic‐aromatic polyamide nanocomposites in the presence of Halloysite nanotubes

Nanocomposites consisting of semi‐aromatic polyamide (PA) and pristine or alkali activated halloysite nanotubes (HNT or mHNT, respectively) were synthesized by the in‐situ interfacial polymerization method. The condensation reactions were carried out between isophthaloyl dichloride in hexane and triethylenetetramine in water containing different amounts of HNT or mHNT. The interactions and crystallinity of the nanocomposites were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, respectively. Development of hydrogen bonds between the functional groups of PA and hydroxyl groups of nanotubes was indicated by FTIR spectroscopy. According to the XRD analysis, the addition of HNT and mHNT nanotubes increased the crystallinity of the PA. This was ascribed to the role of nanotubes as nucleating agents in the PA matrix. Thermal resistance and char residue of PA, as revealed by thermogravimetric analysis, were enhanced by incorporating both HNT and mHNT and the latter was more effective in this regard. Furthermore, while the addition of pristine HNTs decreased the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the PA, the Tg could be increased by about 5°C, in the presence of 5 wt% of mHNTs. Finally, the facilely activated mHNT nanotubes were found to be highly efficient in improving the thermal and structural properties of semi‐aromatic PAs.     

Potential‐Responsive Surfaces for Manipulation of Cell Adhesion,Release, and Differentiation

In living systems, interfacial molecular interactions control many biological processes. New stimuli‐responsive strategies are desired to provide versatile model systems that can regulate cell behavior in vitro. Described here are potential‐responsive surfaces that control cell adhesion and release as well as stem cell differentiation. Cell adhesion can be modulated dynamically by applying negative and positive potentials to surfaces functionalized with tailored monolayers. This process alters cell morphology and ultimately controls behavior and the fate of the cells. Cells can be detached from the electrode surface as intact clusters with different geometries using electrochemical potentials. Importantly, morphological changes during adhesion guide stem cell differentiation. The higher accessibility of the peptide under a positive applied potential causes phenotypic changes in the cells that are hallmarks of osteogenesis, whereas lower accessibility of the peptide promoted by negative potentials leads to adipogenesis.     

Effects of tilted congruence on spherical compact stars

The aim of this paper is to investigate physical characteristics of spherical stars for an observer moving relative to matter distribution in linear regime. We impose shear-free condition to explore numerical solution of the field equations for five well-known compact stars (PSR J1614-2230, PSR J1903+0327, Vela X-1, SMC X-1, Cen X-3) and examine their physical behavior. It is found that all considered compact stars are stable. We conclude that all expected physical features are present related to stellar fluid configuration.     

Effects of charge on dynamical instability of spherical collapse in <Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>) gravity

The effects of charge on stable structure of spherically symmetric collapsing model comprising anisotropic matter distribution are studied in f(R, T) gravity, where R and T correspond to scalar curvature and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. We construct the field equations, Maxwell equations and dynamical equations in this scenario. We employ linear perturbation scheme on physical variables, metric functions as well as modified terms to establish the evolution or collapse equation for a consistent functional form of f(R, T) gravity. We investigate the limit of instability in Newtonian as well as post Newtonian regimes. It is found that charge plays a fundamental role to slow down the collapse and form a more stable system.     

Stability of Circular Orbits around a Tidal Charged Black Hole

We study the effects of the tidal charge on the equatorial circular motion of neutral test particles near a tidal charged black hole. This analysis investigates stable as well as unstable circular orbits in all possible configurations of nonextremal and extremal cases. It is found that a negative tidal charge will increase the energy and angular momentum of a neutral test particle moving around a black hole. We obtain a continuous region of stability for both extremal and nonextremal cases. We conclude that the region of stability as well as radius of last stable circular orbit shows increasing behavior for Q < 0.     

Anisotropic quark stars in <Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>) gravity

The aim of this paper is to analyze the nature of anisotropic spherically symmetric relativistic star models in the framework of f(R, T) gravity. To discuss the features of compact stars, we consider that in the interior of the stellar system, the fluid distribution is influenced by MIT bag model equation of state. We construct the field equations by employing Krori–Barua solutions and obtain the values of unknown constants with the help of observational data of Her X-1, SAX J 1808.4-3658, RXJ 1856-37 and 4U1820-30 star models. For a viable f(R, T) model, we study the behavior of energy density, transverse as well as radial pressure and anisotropic factor in the interior of these stars for a specific value of the bag constant. We check the physical viability of our proposed model and stability of stellar structure through energy conditions, causality condition and adiabatic index. It is concluded that our model satisfies the stability criteria as well as other physical requirements, and the value of bag constant is in well agreement with the experimental value which highlights the viability of our considered model.     

Complexity factor for charged spherical system

In this paper, we study the complexity factor for a charged anisotropic self-gravitating object. We formulate the Einstein–Maxwell field equations, Tolman–Opphenheimer–Volkoff equation, and the mass function. We form the structure scalars by the orthogonal splitting of the Riemann tensor and then find the complexity factor with the help of these scalars. Finally, we investigate some astrophysical objects for the vanishing of complexity condition. It is found that the presence of the electromagnetic field decreases the complexity of the system.     

Effects of f(R) Model on Dynamics of Axial Shear-Free Dissipative Fluids

We present a general analysis on non-static axial system with dissipative shear-free anisotropic fluid using polynomial inflationary f(R) model.We study the effects of dissipation on the dynamics of geodesic matter distribution.This leads the system either to rotation-free or expansion-free but not both simultaneously under geodesic condition.It is found that the system preserves its symmetry in both cases.For the rotation-free case,when there is no dissipation and Ricci scalar is constant,the axial system reduces to FRW universe model.This is exactly the same result obtained in general relativity.
