Abstract
Nanostructured aluminum titanate (AT) was synthesized by the sol-gel method. The calcination temperature was selected as a processing variable to obtain different phase ratios of AT and its parent phases i.e. TiO2 and Al2O3. The main aim behind the present work was to cast light on the photocatalytic performance of AT-based nanocomposites and evaluate their capability to serve as a novel photocatalyst. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) studies were conducted to evaluate the microstructure-sensitive properties of the synthesized powders. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and the methylene blue degradation test were carried out to...
Investigation of Manganese Addition on Microstructure and Mechanical properties of Al-20Si-5Fe-3Cu-1Mg Ribbons Prepared by Melt Spinning Method
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Davami, Parviz (Supervisor) ; Varahram, Nasser (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this research, Al-20Si-5Fe-1Mg-xMn(x= 0,3,6) ribbons were produced by Melt spinning method. Microstructure and growth morphology of ribbons were studied by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results were compared with as cast samples. In OM results, two different zones were observed. Featureless zone (with planar growth morphology) and dendrites zone. Microstructure of ribbons were completely different from the as cast samples. It consisted of just Aluminium and silicon. XRD results approved that matter. In fact, high solidification rate of ribbons increased the solubility of silicon and other alloys in aluminium and consequently...
Evaluation of the Possibility of Diagnosing Female Gynecologic Cancer using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)Spectroscopy of Hair and Nail
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Abulfazl (Supervisor) ; Salimi, Ehsan (Supervisor)
Abstract
In recent years, indirect methods of cancer detection that utilize changes in trace element levels in various parts of the body, such as hair and nails, have garnered significant attention from researchers.The primary objective of these methods is to identify alterations in trace element levels that serve as biological markers in the presence of disease. While direct examination of affected organs remains the gold standard for cancer diagnosis, it is often expensive, time-consuming, inconvenient, and associated with potential side effects. Therefore, if the effectiveness of this approach is validated, it could serve as a cost-effective, non-invasive, safe, and early diagnostic method in...
Design and Synthesis of a Drug Delivery System Based on Mesoporous Bioactive Glass
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abdekhodaie, Mohammad Jafar (Supervisor)
Abstract
The aim of this research is to develop a smart mesoporous bioactive glass-based carrier for targeted drug delivery to cancer cells, particularly bone cancer cells. To achieve this, mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles were first synthesized, followed by surface modification with amine groups. To prevent premature drug release before reaching the target tissue and to introduce pH sensitivity, the nanoparticle pores were coated with oxidized hyaluronic acid via Schiff-base bonding with the amine groups on the surface. The use of hyaluronic acid facilitates active targeting of CD44 receptors, which are overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells compared to healthy cells. This process...

, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Dolati, Abolghasem (Supervisor) ; Ghorbani, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The present work describes sensing application of modified Pt nanostructures towards detection of glucose. Modified Pt nanostructured electrodes were prepared using electrodeposition method such as chronoampermetry and potentiostatic pulse methods. The electrodeposition of Pt nanostructures was first studied by voltammetry and amperommetry techniques and then potentiostatic pulse method has been used to produce the alloyed structures of platinum. In this regard, the first electrode was proposed based on alloyed Pt/Ni nanowire arrays (NWAs) for the non-enzymatic detection of glucose. The Pt/Ni NWAs were prepared by pulse electrodeposition of Pt and Ni within a nano-pore polycarbonate (PC)...
Quantum Estimation of Open Systems Using Extended Cramer-Rao Bounds
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rezakhani, Ali (Supervisor) ; Alipour, Sahar (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Any physical system is characterized with some set of quantities or parameters, knowing which, is equivalent to estimation of the system. Evaluating such parameters is usually done using tomography methods. An important question to ask, is how to increase the precision of measurement, being able to do some specific set of physical operations, say, measurement?
this question is more important in parameter estimation in quantum meanical systems. It has been shown that, quantum meanics causes a fundamental limit, on precision of estimating su parameters, escribed by the so called “antum Cramér-Rao bound”.We must note that almost all quantum meanical systems are interacting with the...

Abstract
Food science researchers are concerned about global food wastage due to decreased shelf life. It has been shown that using approaches based on nanotechnology, including metal-based nanoparticles (NPs), can alleviate the issues with decreased shelf life and environmental problems. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and their synthesis have seen notable advancements in the last several decades. AuNPs are now utilised more often in industrial and medicinal settings. AuNPs are being employed in the nanopackaging industry as a recently adopted technique because of their medicinal and antibacterial properties and their inert and hypoallergenic nature. When employed in the food industry, AuNPs have...
Gapless chiral excitons in thin films of topological insulators
, Article EPL ; Vol. 107, issue. 2 , 2014 ; ISSN: 02955075 ; Sharif University of Technology
2014
Abstract
In a nanoscopic thin film of a strong topological insulator (TI) the Coulomb interaction in the channel that exchanges the two electrons with the same chirality in two different planes of the slab takes advantage of the minus sign resulting from such "exchange" and gives rise to a bound state between the positive-energy states in one surface and the negative-energy states in the opposite surface. Therefore particle and hole pairs in the undoped Dirac cone of the TI thin film form an inter-surface spin-singlet state that lies below the continuum of free particle-hole pairs. This mode is similar to the excitons of semiconductors, albeit formed between the electron and hole pairs from two...
Collective excitations and the nature of Mott transition in undoped gapped graphene
, Article Journal of Physics Condensed Matter ; Volume 24, Issue 30 , 2012 ; 09538984 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
2012
Abstract
The particle-hole continuum (PHC) for massive Dirac fermions provides an unprecedented opportunity for the formation of two collective split-off states, one in the singlet and the other in the triplet (spin-1) channel, when the short-range interactions are added to the undoped system. Both states are close in energy and are separated from the continuum of free particle-hole excitations by an energy scale of the order of the gap parameter Δ. They both disperse linearly with two different velocities, reminiscent of spin-charge separation in Luttinger liquids. When the strength of Hubbard interactions is stronger than a critical value, the velocity of singlet excitation, which we interpret as a...
Nonlinear optical response in gapped graphene
, Article Journal of Physics Condensed Matter ; Volume 24, Issue 20 , 2012 ; 09538984 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
2012
Abstract
We present a formulation for the nonlinear optical response in gapped graphene, where the low-energy single-particle spectrum is modeled by massive Dirac theory. As a representative example of the formulation presented here, we obtain a closed form formula for the third harmonic generation in gapped graphene. It turns out that the covariant form of the low-energy theory gives rise to peculiar logarithmic singularities in the nonlinear optical spectra. The universal functional dependence of the response function on dimensionless quantities indicates that the optical nonlinearity can be largely enhanced by tuning the gap to smaller values
Exact phase boundaries and topological phase transitions of the XYZ spin chain
, Article Physical Review E ; Volume 96, Issue 1 , 2017 ; 24700045 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
2017
Abstract
Within the block spin renormalization group, we give a very simple derivation of the exact phase boundaries of the XYZ spin chain. First, we identify the Ising order along ◯ or ŷ as attractive renormalization group fixed points of the Kitaev chain. Then, in a global phase space composed of the anisotropy λ of the XY interaction and the coupling Δ of the Δσzσz interaction, we find that the above fixed points remain attractive in the two-dimesional parameter space. We therefore classify the gapped phases of the XYZ spin chain as: (1) either attracted to the Ising limit of the Kitaev-chain, which in turn is characterized by winding number ±1, depending on whether the Ising order parameter is...
Electric field assisted amplification of magnetic fields in tilted Dirac cone systems
, Article Physical Review B ; Volume 100, Issue 4 , 2019 ; 24699950 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
American Physical Society
2019
Abstract
We show that the continuum limit of the tilted Dirac cone in materials such as 8-Pmmn borophene and layered organic conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 corresponds to deformation of the Minkowski space-time of Dirac materials. From its Killing vectors we construct an emergent tilted-Lorentz (t-Lorentz) symmetry group for such systems. As an example of the t-Lorentz transformations we obtain the exact solution of the Landau bands for a crossed configuration of electric and magnetic fields. For any given tilt parameter 0≤ζ<1, if the ratio χ=vFBz/Ey of the crossed magnetic and electric fields satisfies χ≥1+ζ, one can always find appropriate t-boosts in both valleys labeled by τ=±1 in such a way that the...

Abstract
One problem that has always been a challenge for geotechnical engineers is construction on problematic and soft soils. Traditional methods of lime and cement stabilisation can be used to treat soils with these properties. The main drawback of lime addition to the clayey soils is a significant loss in ductility of lime-treated soils. Using ductile materials such as geogrids in lime-treated soils is one of the most effective ways to increase the soil ductility. Therefore, the effect of geogrids and lime on unconfined compressive strength (UCS), failure strain (ɛf), secant modulus (Es), deformability indexes (ID), resilient modulus (Mr), bulk modulus (K), and shear modulus (G) of the treated...
