A Comparative Study on Optical Characteristics of InGaAsP QW Heterostructures of Type-I and Type-II Band Alignments

In this paper, we have configured InGaAsP QW (quantum well) heterostructures of type-I and type-II band alignments and simulated their optical characteristics by solving 6 x 6 Kohn-Luttinger Hamiltonian Matrix. According to the simulation results, the InGaAsP QW heterostructure of type-I band alignment has been found to show peak optical gain (TE mode) of the order of~3600/cm at the transition wavelength~1.40 µm; while of type-II band alignment has achieved the peak gain (TE mode) of the order of~7800/cm at the wavelength of~1.85 µm (eye safe region). Thus, both of the heterostructures can be utilized in designing of opto-or photonic devices for the emission of radiations in NIR (near infrared region) but form the high gain point of view, the InGaAsP of type-II band alignment can be more preferred

Correlation effects in Ni 3d states of LaNiPO

The electronic structure of the new superconducting material LaNiPO experimentally probed by soft X-ray spectroscopy and theoretically calculated by the combination of local density approximation with Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (LDA+DMFT) are compared herein. We have measured the Ni L2,3 X-ray emission (XES) and absorption (XAS) spectra which probe the occupied and unoccupied the Ni 3d states, respectively. In LaNiPO, the Ni 3d states are strongly renormalized by dynamical correlations and shifted about 1.5 eV lower in the valence band than the corresponding Fe 3d states in LaFeAsO. We further obtain a lower Hubbard band at -9 eV below the Fermi level in LaNiPO which bears striking resemblance to the lower Hubbard band in the correlated oxide NiO, while no such band is observed in LaFeAsO. These results are also supported by the intensity ratio between the transition metal L2 and L3 bands measured experimentally to be higher in LaNiPO than in LaFeAsO, indicating the presence of the stronger electron correlations in the Ni 3d states in LaNiPO in comparison with the Fe 3d states in LaFeAsO. These findings are in accordance with resonantly excited transition metal L3 X-ray emission spectra which probe occupied metal 3d-states and show the appearance of the lower Hubbard band in LaNiPO and NiO and its absence in LaFeAsO.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

An Assessment of Healthcare Services in Jordanian Public Hospitals from the Perspective of COVID-19 Patients in the Aftermath of COVID-19

Hospitals faced many challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic when it came to providing healthcare to patients. These obstacles included limited bed availability, shortages of medical equipment and staff, insufficient drug supply, inadequate physical facilities, and a lack of healthy environments. As the pandemic continues into its third year, it has become clear that viruses could remain a permanent part of our lives, leading to a rise in the demand for healthcare services. With this in mind, a study was conducted to investigate the impact of different healthcare service dimensions provided by public hospitals in Jordan on patient satisfaction. The research revealed that reliability, assurance, and responsiveness are the most critical dimensions for patient satisfaction, followed by tangibility and empathy. In addition, the study discovered healthcare service characteristics positively affected patient satisfaction according to the patient's age, gender, and place of treatment. In addition, the study discovered healthcare service dimensions positively affected patient satisfaction according to the patient's age, gender, and place of treatment. In order to improve and manage the healthcare services offered to patients, the study advises public hospital administrators to identify the significance of healthcare service dimensions. Administrators should pay close attention to the dimensions of tangibility and empathy, which are strong yet good, and take into account patient demographic disparities
