Acceleration and Deceleration in Curvature Induced Phantom Model of the Late and Future Universe, Cosmic Collapse as Well as its Quantum Escape
Here, cosmology of the late and future universe is obtained from
-gravity with non-linear curvature terms and ( being the
Ricci scalar curvature). It is different from -dark enrgy models, where
non-linear curvature terms are taken as gravitational alternative of dark
energy. In the present model, neither linear nor no-linear curvature terms are
taken as dark energy. Rather, dark energy terms are induced by curvature terms
in the Friedmann equation derived from -gravitational equations. It has
advantage over - dark energy models in the sense that the present model
satisfies WMAP results and expands as during matter-dominance.
So, it does not have problems due to which -dark energy models are
criticized. Curvature-induced dark energy, obtained here, mimics phantom.
Different phases of this model, including acceleration and deceleration during
phantom phase, are investigated here.It is found that expansion of the universe
will stop at the age ( being the present
age of the universe) and after this epoch, it will contract and collapse by the
time . Further,it is shown that universe will
escape predicted collapse (obtained using classical mechanics) on making
quantum gravity corrections relevant near collapse time due to extremely high
energy density and large curvature analogous to the state of very early
universe. Interestingly, cosmological constant is also induced here, which is
very small in classical domain, but very high in quantum domain.Comment: 33 page
Strain energy calculations of hexagonal boron nanotubes: An ab-initio approach
An ab initio calculations have been carried out for examining the curvature
effect of small diameter hexagonal boron nanotubes. The considered
conformations of boron nanotubes are namely armchair (3,3), zigzag (5,0) and
chiral (4,2), and consist of 12, 20, and 56 atoms, respectively. The strain
energy is evaluated in order to examine the curvature effect. It is found that
the strain energy of hexagonal BNT strongly depends upon the radius, whereas
the strain energy of triangular BNTs depends on both radius and chirality.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
