Scaling Analysis on Indian Foreign Exchange Market

In this paper we investigate the scaling behavior of the average daily exchange rate returns of the Indian Rupee against four foreign currencies namely US Dollar, Euro, Great Britain Pound and Japanese Yen. Average daily exchange rate return of the Indian Rupee against US Dollar is found to exhibit a persistent scaling behavior and follow Levy stable distribution. On the contrary the average daily exchange rate returns of the other three foreign currencies do not show persistency or antipersistency and follow Gaussian distribution.

Effect of transient change in strain rate on plastic flow behavior of low carbon steel

Plastic flow behavior of low carbon steel has been studied at room temperature during tensile deformation by varying the initial strain rate of 3.3x10e-4 1/sec to the final strain rate ranging from 1.33x10e-3 1/sec to 2.0x10e-3 1/sec at a fixed engineering strain of 12%. Haasen plot revealed that the mobile dislocation density remained almost invariant at the juncture where there was a sudden increase in stress with the change in strain rate and the plastic flow was solely dependent on the velocity of mobile dislocations. In that critical regime, the variation of stress with time was fitted with a Boltzman type Sigmoid function. The increase in stress was found to increase with final strain rate and the time elapsed to attain these stress values showed a decreasing trend. Both of these parameters saturated asymptotically at higher final strain rate.

Studies on Neon irradiated amorphous carbon using X-ray Diffraction technique

Two sets of amorphous carbon materials prepared at different routes are irradiated with swift (145 MeV) heavy ion (Ne6+). The structural parameters like the size of ordered grains along c and a axis i.e. Lc & La, the average spacing of the crystallographic planes (002) i.e. d002 and the fraction of the amorphous phase of the unirradiated and the irradiated samples are estimated by X-ray diffraction technique. The fraction of the amorphous phase is generally found to increase with the irradiation dose for both sets of the samples. The estimated and values are found to be almost unaffected by irradiation. The estimated values of corroborate with the increase of disorder in both sets of the samples with the increasing dose of irradiation. Keywords: X-ray Diffraction, Amorphous Carbon, Irradiation

Anisotropy of electron momentum distribution in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_(8+d)$ superconductor studied by positron annihilation technique

The temperature dependent (30 K to 300 K) Doppler broadening of the positron annihilated g-radiation (DBPAR) measurement has been carried out on single crystalline Bi-2212 high Tc superconducting sample along two different crystallographic orientations. It has been observed that throughout the temperature range the electron momentum distribution has a relatively large value along the crystallographic c-axis than a-b plane. The temperature dependent DBPARL analysis shows a step like increase of S-parameter at the temperature region 92 K to 116 K.
