Abstract
This study aims to explore the numerical analysis of the impact of integrating titanium oxide (TiO2) into a D-shaped optical fiber biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR). A thin layer of gold (Au) is applied to the flat section of the fiber, which is also coated with a thin layer of titanium dioxide (TiO2). The behavior and performance of the proposed biosensor for use in biological environments are evaluated using the finite element method (FEM). The optical response of SPR-based biosensors is highly dependent on the analyzed medium, enabling the detection of pathogenic cells and abnormalities in biological tissues. This provides high sensitivity and selectivity, as well as real-time detection accuracy and speed. In this study, the biosensor is incorporated into a biological medium with a refractive index that varies with wavelength. A series of simulations have been conducted to plot the spectra of transmissions, absorptions, and dielectric losses obtained in the output of the sensor instrument. From these spectra, the corresponding surface plasmon resonance (SPR) wavelength (λSPR) within the visible-near-infrared band can be determined. Taking into account the various parameters that influence plasmonic interactions, the biosensor's performance parameters, in particular sensitivity and refractive index resolution have been optimized. Our results show that the presence of the TiO2 layer improves the performance of the proposed sensor and offers the possibility of adjusting the resonance wavelength (λSPR). In addition, our proposed sensor can achieve a better resolution of 7.50×10-6[RIU] in 1.34-143 range of analyte refractive index, which notably exceeds that of current technologies. This opens up new prospects in the field of chemical and biological detection.

Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an urgent need for methods to decontaminate respirators masks for reuse while keeping them intact and functional. The severe shortage of professional masks such as N95 and FFP2 has necessitated their reuse over long periods. A very promising method is the pasteurization of these masks by thermoplasmonic heat generated by plasmonics nanoparticles when they are irradiated by light. Under illumination at its plasmonic resonance, a metal nanoparticle features enhanced light absorption, turning it into an ideal nano-source of heat, remotely controllable using light. In this work, we propose a numerical study based on the finite element method (FEM) of the thermoplasmonic properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) decorating polypropylene (PP) fibers which is a basic material for the manufacture of these masks. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of these nanostructures was investigated through the computation of the complex effective dielectric permittivity and the absorption cross section in the near UV-visible (NUV-Vis) range. First, the SPR characteristics of AgNPs for different morphologies are determined from the absorption spectra, including the SPR-peak position λmax and the electric field enhancement. Second, we determine the power absorbed by an individual AgNP of different morphologies. From this, we calculate the internal temperature increase of the particle at the plasmonic resonance. The last step is devoted to the determination of the temperature profile in the surrounding medium in order to better understand and design the plasmon-assisted heating processes at the nanometric scale.

Abstract
The full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) method, which is based on density functional theory using the "WIEN2k" code. The exchange-correlation functional was taken within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), has been used to study the structural, electronic, mechanical, magnetic, and thermal properties of Co2MnZ (Z = Al, Ge, Sn) (CMZ) alloy. When using the GGA + U approximation, all compounds depict half-metallic behavior due to spin polarization at the Fermi level. Get the Curie temperature value and the magnetic moment. We find that the ferromagnetic state is more stable than the antiferromagnetic and nonmagnetic states. The effects of heat on lattice parameters, compressive modulus, volume, heat capacity and thermal expansion coefficient at several pressures were investigated. The thermoelectric performance of these systems was examined. Calculations are performed using the BoltzTrap code, that relies on the semiclassical Boltzmann transport equation. The Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and figure of merit are calculated taking into account the upper and lower spins.

Abstract
In this paper, the optical and thermoplasmonics properties of nanocomposites consisting of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) integrated in Al 2 O 3 matrix are determined using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Firstly, the refractive index ( n ) , extinction coefficient ( κ ) , absorption coefficient ( μ a ) , and optical conductivity ( σ ) are calculated from the effective complex permittivity obtained by solving the Laplace's equation for different size and concentration of nanoparticles. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties of AuNPs are optimized from the peak presented in the absorption coefficient spectrum. The results show that the optical parameters n , κ , μ a , and σ undergo a strong variation around the wavelength λ max corresponding to the SPR phenomenon. The value of λ max increases from 560 to 600 n m when the radius of the particles varies between r = 5 and r = 30 n m . The effect of the AuNP concentration on the band gap energy E g ( e V ) of Au- Al 2 O 3 nanocomposites is also studied, a shift from E g = 5.34 to E g = 5.49 e V is observed when the concentration of the AuNPs increases from 0 to 0.82 % . The electric field enhancement induced by the AuNPs at plasmonic resonance is also determined depending to the particle size; the results show that the enhancement factor increases from g = 4.71 to g = 6.95 when the radius of the AuNPs increases from r = 5 to 30 n m . The thermal dissipation of the plasmonic energy of spherical of our system dispersed in the Al 2 O 3 matrix is determined considering the Joule effect which occurs by the oscillation of the charges at the plasmonic resonance. The generated thermal power by particles is calculated for different sizes, which allows to calculate the thermal power per gram of particles depending on the intensity of the incident electric field. The results show that the plasmonic thermal power is almost identical for small particles when the radius is less than r = 15 n m and increases considerably when the size increases from r = 15 to 30 n m . For a fixed size and incident field amplitude, we calculated the temperature change in the nanocomposites Au- Al 2 O 3 depending of time for different particle concentrations; the temperature variation curves obtained are linear as a function of time.
