Energy losses, premature failure, and environmental degradation are the adverse impacts of
the friction at sliding interfaces. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have recently attracted …

A concept for plasma detachment in a magnetic nozzle is developed based on the
detachment region which is found to decrease with the taper angle of the coils employed in …

Low energy ion implantation with exquisite control of angle allows manipulating the
applications of thin films. Here we present a favourable and efficient strategy of 50 keV …

The sheath formation mechanism is modeled in a four-component collisional
electronegative warm plasma considering the behavior of positive ions by fluid equations …

Considering nonlinearities due to relativistic mass variation and ponderomotive force driven
depression in the electron density, a model is developed for the self-focusing of a super …

Magnetic nozzle appears to be a practical solution for prolonged space missions. For
efficient handling of the spaceship, an in-flight solution to customize the thrust from the …

A three-thick tapered-coils system is developed and the role of spacing and relative size of
the coils along with their tapering in controlling the plume geometry through a magnetic …

Laser and plasma interaction leads to several fascinating nonlinear phenomena, out of
which bubble wakefield excitation is one of the recent interests. This field is used for the …

A theoretical model is developed to investigate the density gradient driven instability in an
E→× B→ plasma system with the consideration of finite temperature of both the electrons …

Bodies in sliding contact experience resistance to motion due to frictional forces, causing
huge energy wastage and wear that limit the operational lifetime of the systems. Metal …
