Abstract

Local thermodynamic equilibrium is a foundational concept in plasma physics and heat transfer, describing a state where each small region of a system can be treated as if it is in thermodynamic equilibrium, even if the whole system is not. However, achieving accurately perfect thermodynamic equilibrium conditions in real-experiments is often challenging. It often struggles for understanding phenomena like excited states or specific Arrhenius-driven reactions. As a result, the advantages of plasma modeling with simplifications can sometimes overshadow the disadvantages of experiments. This study simulated the ionization process of argon plasma using the 4th order Runge-Kutta numerical method. The simulation, initiated with initial densities before the simulation is run, each of them is electrons 2.6 × 1018 m-3, neutral argon (Ar) 2.6 × 1018 m-3, positive argon ions (Ar+) 2.6 × 1018 m-3, and positive diatomic argon ions (Ar2+) 2.6 × 1018 m-3, successfully obtained reaction rate equilibrium data at the 625th iteration. The final densities observed were 2.46 × 1018 m-3 for electrons, 2.27 × 1018 m-3 for neutral argon, 6.4 × 1015 m-3 for Ar+, and 4.34 × 1017 m-3 for Ar2+. These results show the equilibrium reaction rate in argon plasma which provides information that density of electron and Ar+ species show a decreasing trend while density of Ar and Ar2+ species shows an increasing trend which are the result of ionization and recombination processes in the entire plasma system.

Abstract

Socialization activities have been carried out regarding the application of iron sand nanomagnetic fertilizer (Fe3O4) on corn plants to the villagers of Pulau Semambu Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra. This community service activity is part of the integration of the research results that have been carried out. From the results of the study, it was found that at the same growing age, corn added with nano-magnetic iron sand, both simaxx + nanomagnetic iron sand and silica + nanomagnetic iron sand, had a faster growth of about 100 cm compared to corn that was only given simaxx fertilizer. which is about 45-50 cm. Research results and observational data were then collected and analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of using Fe3O4 nanomagnetic fertilizer on corn plants. Apart from being disseminated to corn farmers, research results are also used as teaching material to be conveyed to students in material physics courses. Integrating research results with community service activities and material physics lectures has increased the practical use of research results and provided wider benefits for society and students.

Abstract

The development of optical fiber sensors based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) has driven the need for a deeper understanding of sensor characteristics under mechanical deformation conditions. This study is motivated by the limited investigations specifically examining the simultaneous interaction between bending and thermal response in chirped FBG. This research aims to analyze the effect of bending degree on the sensitivity and thermal response of Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating (CFBG), to observe Bragg wavelength (λB) shifts and transmission power variations, and to determine the optimal bending configuration. Measurements were conducted using a dual laser source at wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, with bending angle variations of 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°, across a temperature range of 35°C to 49°C representing human physiological conditions. Results demonstrate that bending degree exerts a substantially more dominant influence on transmission power than temperature variation, with inter-angle power differences exceeding 12 dB. Bending angles of 20° and 30° consistently yielded the highest transmission power, with sensitivity values reaching 1555.72% and 1527.37% respectively at 1550 nm. The 1310 nm wavelength exhibited slightly higher sensitivity, whereas the 1550 nm demonstrated better thermal response stability. This research contributes to establishing optimal operating conditions for CFBG sensors in wearable health monitoring applications requiring high sensitivity and reliable thermal stability.
