Abstract
Indium has gained significant attention in the semiconductor industries due to its unique thermal and optical properties. The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of the biofield energy treatment on the atomic, physical and thermal properties of the indium. The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control group remained as untreated, and treated group received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. Subsequently, the control and treated indium samples were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The XRD diffractogram showed the shifting of peaks toward higher Bragg’s angles in the treated indium sample as compared to the control. The crystallite size of treated indium sample were substantially changed from -80% to 150.2% after biofield energy treatment, as compared to control. In addition, the biofield energy treatment has altered the lattice parameter (-0.56%), unit cell volume (-0.23%), density (0.23%), atomic weight (-0.23), and nuclear charge per unit volume (1.69%) of the treated indium sample with respect to the control. The DSC showed an increase in the latent heat of fusion up to 3.23% in the treated indium sample with respect to control. Overall, results suggest that biofield energy treatment has substantially altered the atomic, physical, and thermal properties of treated indium powder. Therefore, the treated indium could be utilized in thermal interface material in semiconductor industries.
Highlights
Indium (In), a post transition metallic element, is soft, malleable and fusible metal
Our group reported that biofield treatment has altered the particle size, surface area, and surface morphology in aluminium [13], lead [18] and antimony sulfide [27]
It is assumed that the biofield treatment, possibly altered the surface morphology of indium powder, which may alter the relative intensities in treated sample as compared to control
Summary
Indium (In), a post transition metallic element, is soft, malleable and fusible metal. Indium is utilized in various low melting point alloys like soft metal, solder, and galinstan [1]. It is the primary source for the production of the indium tin oxide that is used in transparent conductive coating on the glass. Around 50% of indium is consumed in the manufacturing of LCD (Liquid crystal displays) for computer monitors and televisions [3,4]. In semiconductor industries, it is used in the production of indium antimonide, indium phosphide, and indium nitride. After considering the industrial application of indium, authors wish to investigate the impact of biofield energy treatment on atomic, physical, and thermal properties of indium
