In line with the University of Nineveh’s strategic directives to enhance its portfolio of high-quality scientific publications indexed in reputable international databases, a faculty member from the College of Pharmacy has contributed to the publication of a joint research study.
Assistant Lecturer Wurqa Omar Abd from the College of Pharmacy, in collaboration with:
- Dr. Khalaf Ajaj Hussein / Nineveh Directorate of Education
- Prof. Mushtaq Abdul Daoud / University of Mosul
has published a scientific paper entitled:
“Preparation of Cobalt Nanostructures Using Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser”
The study was published in MOMENTO, a journal indexed in Scopus and classified within the second quartile (Q2).
The research investigates the preparation of cobalt nanostructures using the Pulsed Laser Ablation in Liquid (PLAL) technique with an Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1064 nm. The study examined the influence of varying pulse energy and pulse number on the optical properties of the synthesized nanomaterials. The findings revealed three distinct band gap values, with a slight increase observed as the number of pulses increased. In contrast, pulse energy exhibited a limited effect. Additionally, the absorption coefficient, refractive index, and optical conductivity were found to increase with the total number of laser pulses.
This scientific contribution reflects the College of Pharmacy’s ongoing commitment to supporting research excellence and strengthening its academic presence in internationally recognized scientific journals, thereby contributing to community service and environmental advancement.
