In this study, we meticulously deposited an Al-doped ZnO nanoparticle thin film on a p-type silicon substrate using the precise sputtering method. We conducted a comprehensive exploration of the film's structure, morphology, and optical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed its polycrystalline wurtzite configuration with a dominant (002) orientation.

Due to the occurrence of isothermal flow of non-Newtonian fluids through non-uniform surfaces in many industrial and technological processes, such as film condensation, plastic sheet deformation, crystallization, cooling of metallic sheets, design of nozzles devices, supersonic and various heat exchangers, and glass and polymer industries, the current research is focused on this topic. To modulate this flow, the flow stream is subjected in a non-uniform channel.

More specifically, IRS can smartly reconfigure the incident signal of the source towards the destination node, extending the wireless coverage and improving the channel capacity without consuming additional energy. On the other side, PD-NOMA can enhance the number of devices in the network without using extra spectrum resources.
