Enhancement of Photon Absorption on BaxSr1-xTiO3 Thin-Film Semiconductor Using Photonic Crystal by Abd. Wahidin Nuayi, Husin Alatas, Irzaman S. Husein, Mamat Rahmat

“…From optical characterization in visible spectrum it was found that the average absorption percentages are 92.04%, 83.55%, 91.16%, and 80.12%, respectively. The BST thin film with embedded photonic crystal exhibited a relatively significant enhancement on photon absorption, with increasing value of 3.96%, 7.07%, 3.04%, and 13.33% for the respective mole fraction and demonstrating absorbance characteristic with flat feature. …”

Performance Analysis of Thermal and Surface Roughness Effect of Slider Bearings with Unsteady Fluid Film Lubricant Using Finite Element Method by Girma Desu Tessema, Getachew Adamu Derese, Awoke Andargie Tiruneh

“…The streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) finite element method was used in this study to investigate the thermal and surface roughness effects on an inclined slider bearing with an unsteady fluid film. One-dimensional transverse and longitudinal surface roughness models were considered with the supposition that roughness is stochastic and has a Gaussian random distribution. …”
