A proposed nanosensor based on hybrid nanoshells consisting of a core of metal nanoparticles and a coating of molecules is simulated by plasmon-exciton coupling in semi classical approach. We study the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with multilevel atoms in a way that takes into account both the spatial and the temporal dependence of the local fields. Our approach has a wide range of applications, from the description of pulse propagation in two-level media to the elaborate simulation of optoelectronic devices, including sensors. We have numerically solved the corresponding system of coupled Maxwell-Liouville equations using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method for different geometries. Plasmon-exciton hybrid nanoshells with different geometries are designed and simulated, which shows more sensitive to environment refractive index (RI) than nanosensor based on localized surface plasmon. The effects of nanoshell geometries, sizes, and quantum emitter parameters on the sensitivity of nanosensors to changes in the RI of the environment were investigated. It was found that the cone-like nanoshell with a silver core and quantum emitter shell had the highest sensitivity. The tapered shape of the cone like nanoshell leads to a higher density of plasmonic excitations at the tapered end of the nanoshell. Under specific conditions, two sharp, deep LSPR peaks were evident in the scattering data. These distinguishing features are valuable as signatures in nanosensors requiring fast, noninvasive response.

Quantum information entropy of a particle trapped by the Aharonov–Bohm-type effect

2023 , Francisco Cleiton E. Lima , Allan R.P. Moreira , C A S Almeida , Collins Okon Edet , Norshamsuri Ali @ Hasim

In this research article, we use the Shannon’s formalism to investigate the quantum information entropy of a particle trapped by the Aharonov-Bohm-type field. For quantum information study, it is necessary to investigate the eigenstates of the quantum system, i.e. the wave functions and energies of the quantum states. We assumed that the particle is in principle, confined in a cylindrical box in the presence of Aharonov-Bohm-type effect due to dislocation defect. Analysis of the quantum information entropy, reveals that the dislocation influences the eigenstates and, consequently, the quantum information of the system.

Influence of perturbations on linear and nonlinear optical properties of quantum dot

2023 , Collins Okon Edet , Emre Bahadir Al , Fatih Ungan , Etido Patrick Inyang , Norshamsuri Ali @ Hasim , Muhammad Mahyiddin Ramli , Rosdisham Endut , Syed Alwee Aljunid Syed Junid

This study focused on investigating the influence of perturbations on the linear and nonlinear optical properties of GaAs/ Ga1-xAlxAs screened modified Kratzer potential (SMKP) quantum dot (QD). The optical absorption coefficients (OACs) and refractive index changes (RICs) for GaAs/ Ga1-xAlxAs have been presented. The density matrix and iterative approaches were used to derive expressions of OACs and RICs in SMKP QD. The diagonalization method has been used to obtain energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of GaAs/ Ga1-xAlxAs SMKP QD under the effects of Al concentration-x, hydrostatic pressure, and temperature. Our results reveal that the Al concentration-x, hydrostatic pressure, and temperature greatly impact the position and amplitude of the resonant peaks of the linear and nonlinear OACs and RICs. Interpretations have been presented in detail. The results of this study will find applications in the optical physics of semiconductors and other systems.

Quantum information entropy of heavy mesons in the presence of a point-like defect

2023 , Carlos Alberto Santos Almeida , Collins Okon Edet , Francisco Cleiton E. Lima , Norshamsuri Ali @ Hasim , Muhammad Asjad

Using Schrödinger's formalism, we investigate the quantum eigenstates of the heavy mesons trapped by a point-like defect and by Cornell's potential. One implements this defect to the model considering a spherical metric profile coupled to it. Furthermore, the Nikiforov–Uvarov method is applied to theory to study the quantum eigenstates of the heavy mesons. To calculate the quantum information entropy (QIE), one considers the wave functions that describe the charmonium and bottomonium states. To explore the QIE, we use the well-known Shannon's entropy formulated at the position and reciprocal space. The analysis of the QIE gives us relevant information about how the quantum information change with the variation of the point-like defect. Consequently, considering the Bialynicki-Birula and Mycielski (BBM) relation, we show how this defect influences the quarkonium position and momentum uncertainty measures.

2022 , Collins Okon Edet , Emmanuel Benjamin Ettah , Syed Alwee Aljunid Syed Junid , Rosdisham Endut , Norshamsuri Ali @ Hasim , Akpan Ndem Ikot , Muhammad Asjad

The global quantum information-theoretical analysis of the class of Yukawa potential (CYP) in the presence of magnetic and Aharonov–Bohm (AB) fields has been examined both analytically and numerically in this research piece. The energy equation and wave function for the CYP are obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation in the presence of external magnetic and AB fields using the functional analysis technique. The probability density is used to calculate the Tsallis, Rényi, and Onicescu information energy entropies numerically. The influence of the screening parameter (β), magnetic (B→), and AB (ξ) fields on the global information-theoretical measurements for the CYP is explored. Atomic and molecular physics, quantum chemistry, and physics are specific areas where these research findings will find application.

2022 , Collins Okon Edet , Emre Bahadir Al , Fatih Ungan , Norshamsuri Ali @ Hasim , Nursalasawati Rusli , Syed Alwee Aljunid Syed Junid , Rosdisham Endut , Muhammad Asjad

The screened modified Kratzer potential (SMKP) model is utilized to scrutinize the impacts of an applied magnetic field (MF) on the binding energies and linear and nonlinear optical properties spherical GaAs quantum dot with donor impurity (DI). To accomplish this goal, we have used the diagonalization method to numerically solve the Schrödinger equation under the effective mass approximation for obtaining the electron energy levels and related electronic wave functions. The expressions used for evaluating linear, third-order nonlinear, and total optical absorption coefficients and relative refractive index changes were previously derived within the compact density matrix method. It has been shown here that the MF and DI impacts the characteristics of the absorption coefficients and the refractive index changes. This study’s results will find application in optoelectronics and related areas.

2023 , Syed Mohammad Ammar , Norshamsuri Ali @ Hasim , Mohamad Naufal Saad , Syed Alwee Aljunid Syed Junid , Rosdisham Endut , Ahmed M. Alhassan , Collins Okon Edet

OCDMA is an optical access technology that has a lot of potential because it can be asynchronously accessed and provides a higher level of security. The authors presented a new DW family code, a flexible double weight (FDW) code, and a novel polarization encoding approach in this paper. The new code is applicable to both odd- and even-weighted codes. The novel polarization encoding approach may be used for numerous wavelengths that overlap. Based on analytic principles, a comparison of two widely used spectrum amplitude-coding SAC-based OCDMA codes, notably modified frequency hopping (MFH), Hadamard, and the double weight (DW) code family. The comparison was based on observing the bit error rate (BER) in each situation. The DW code has a fixed weight of two. The FDW code was introduced to reduce phase-induced intensity noise and multiple access interference (MAI) in transmission networks. FDW codes are versions of the DW code family with weights larger than two. The FDW code outperforms the Hadamard, MFH, DW, modified double weight (MDW), and enhanced double weight (EDW) algorithms. FDW has the capacity to support up to 220 concurrent users. With the new polarization encoding technology, the FDW code can travel up to 60 km at a bit rate of 2.5 Gb/s and 40 km for a 10 Gb/s bit rate.

Non-Relativistic treatment of the 2D electron system interacting via Varshni–Shukla potential using the asymptotic iteration method

2022 , Collins Okon Edet , Salman Mahmoud , Etido P. Inyang , Norshamsuri Ali @ Hasim , Syed Alwee Aljunid Syed Junid , Rosdisham Endut , Akpan Ndem Ikot , Muhammad Asjad

The nonrelativistic treatment of the Varshni–Shukla potential (V–SP) in the presence of magnetic and Aharanov–Bohm fields is carried out using the asymptotic iteration method (AIM). The energy equation and wave function are derived analytically. The energy levels are summed to obtain the partition function, which is employed to derive the expressions for the thermomagnetic properties of the V–SP. These properties are analyzed extensively using graphical representations. It is observed that in the various settings of the analysis, the system shows a diamagnetic characteristic, and the specific heat capacity behavior agrees with the recognized Dulong–Petit law, although some slight anomaly is observed. This irregular behavior could be attributed to a Schottky anomaly. Our findings will be valuable in a variety of fields of physics, including chemical, molecular and condensed matter physics, where our derived models could be applied to study other diatomic molecules and quantum dots, respectively.
