  2. Introduction

  3. Biofield Treatment: “Human has ability to harness the energy from environment/ universe and can transmit into any object (living or non-living) around the Globe. The object(s) always receive the energy and responded into useful way that is called biofield energy and this process is termed as biofield treatment.” The biofield is a cumulative outcome of electric and magnetic field, exerted by the human body. It is generates through some internal dynamic processes such as blood flow, lymph flow, brain and heart function in the human body. Recently, Mr. Trivedi’s biofield has made significant breakthrough in various research areas such as material science, biotechnology, microbiology, and agriculture. This biofield treatment had also changed the particle size, surface area and lattice parameters in various ceramic powders such as Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5), zirconium oxide (ZrO2 ), and silicon dioxide (SiO2).

  4. About Silicon Carbide: Silicon carbide (SiC) is a well-known ceramic due to its excellent spectral absorbance and thermo-mechanical properties. The wide band gap, high melting point and thermal conductivity of SiC is used in high temperature applications.  The silicon carbide (SiC), naturally exists in about 250 crystalline forms. Out of them, two most commonly recognized forms of SiC are: cubic (β-SiC) and hexagonal (α-SiC). The α-SiC crystalline form exists : 2H-SiC, 4H-SiC, and 6H-SiC as per number of hexagonal layer present in a unit cell; for instance 6H-SiC have six layers. In some recent researches, the Biofield Energy treatment has reported changing the physical, thermal and structural properties of various ceramic powders. Based on the knowledge of existing literatures on Biofield Energy Treatment and considering the industrial significance of SiC, in present work an effort has been made to study the impact of biofield treatment on physical and structural properties of SiC.

  5. Study Design

  6. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi Mahendra Kumar Trivedi has the unique ability to harness the energy from the universe and transmit it to anywhere on the globe, infusing it into living organisms and nonliving materials, thus optimizing their potential. Trivedi applied this newfound discovery to helping people optimize their potential, and this unique phenomenon resulting from Mr. Mahendra Trivedi’s biofield energy treatments became internationally renown as The Trivedi Effect®.

  7. The Trivedi Effect The Trivedi Effect®is the only scientifically proven phenomenon in which a person can harness this inherently intelligent energy and transmit it anywhere on the planet. It stands at the forefront of a new scientific paradigm that will forever shape humanity’s future. In addition to optimizing the human condition, it has the power to transform the cellular structures of all living organisms. Even further, it has the incredible capacity to permanently alter the atomic structures of non-living materials. Its impact has been tested, measured, documented and validated with the most sophisticated technologies available to modern science in over 4,000 experiments at numerous research institutes and universities across the globe. 

  8. SiC Powder Sample SiC powder sample was equally distributed into two parts. One part was considered as Control and another part was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment and considered as Treated. Biofield Energy Treatment SiC Silicon Carbide SiC Silicon Carbide Treated Control • Mr. Trivedi provided the biofield treatment through his energy transmission process to the treated group without touching the sample. • The treated part was further divided into four groups T1, T2, T3 and T4 and accessed on different time period.

  9. Experiment

  10. Analytics Study The control and treated samples of SiC powder were characterized using X-ray diffraction study (XRD), surface area analyzer, particle size analyzer and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

  11. Results

  12. X-ray diffraction study The lattice parameter of unit cell, volume of unit cell and densities of SiC were computed from XRD diffractogram using Powder X software, and results are reported in Table 1, Figures 4 and 5. • Highlights: • It was found that lattice parameter of unit cell was reduced upto 0.17% in treated sample as compared to control (Figure 4).  Table 1 Atomic and structural parameters of control and treated SiC calculated from XRD patterns Figure 4 Percentage change in characteristics in treated SiC sample as compared with control

  13. X-ray diffraction study The lattice parameter of unit cell, volume of unit cell and densities of SiC were computed from XRD diffractogram using Powder X software, and results are reported in Table 1, Figures 4 and 5. • Highlights: • The decrease in lattice parameter in treated sample led to decrease in volume of unit cell up to 0.34% and consequently increased the density by 0.354% in treated SiC as compared to control (Figure 4).

  14. X-ray diffraction study The lattice parameter of unit cell, volume of unit cell and densities of SiC were computed from XRD diffractogram using Powder X software, and results are reported in Table 1, Figures 4 and 5. • Highlights: • The increased density should increase the molecular weight, but it was not observed in the experiment. Rather, the molecular weight of treated SiC sample was reduced by 0.354% as compared to control Table 1 Atomic and structural parameters of control and treated SiC calculated from XRD patterns Figure 4 Percentage change in characteristics in treated SiC sample as compared with control

  15. X-ray diffraction study The lattice parameter of unit cell, volume of unit cell and densities of SiC were computed from XRD diffractogram using Powder X software, and results are reported in Table 1, Figures 4 and 5. • Highlights: • The crystallite size (coherently scattering domains size) was reduced by 12.70% in treated T1 as compared to control. • The crystallite size was enlarged by 40.06%, 16.70%, and 16.71% in treated samples T2, T3 and T4 respectively Table 1 Atomic and structural parameters of control and treated SiC calculated from XRD patterns Figure 5 Percentage change in crystallite size in treated SiC sample as compared with control

  16. X-ray diffraction study The lattice parameter of unit cell, volume of unit cell and densities of SiC were computed from XRD diffractogram using Powder X software, and results are reported in Table 1, Figures 4 and 5. • Highlights: • Thus, it is hypothesized that high energy milling through biofield treatment may induce the movement of crystallite boundaries that results into large crystallite size. • Thus, it is speculated that the change in crystallite size through biofield treatment may led to alter the band gap in SiC powder.

  17. Particle Size Analysis The particle size result of control and treated samples are presented in Table 2 and Figure 2, and summarized below. • It was found that the average particle size d50, increased up to 2.4% in treated SiC, whereas d99, increased by 1.9% as compared to control (Figure 2). • The graph showed that the percent change in d50, increases and d99, decreases with increase in number of days after treatment. It indicates that, the coarser particles may be fractured and transformed into finer particles after biofield treatment.

  18. Surface Area Analysis The surface area analysis results of control and treated samples are presented in Figure 3 and summarized below: • The specific surface area was significantly decreased by 23.6%, 71.16% and 23.60% on day 12, day 85 and day 99, respectively as compared to control. • This is possible when sharp corners with irregular shape like hills and valleys on the particle surfaces become rounded. • Additionally, it is also possible that the smaller particles may come together and welded through surface diffusion Figure 3: Percentage change in Surface area in biofield treated SiC as compared to control

  19. FT-IR Spectroscopy Analysis FT-IR spectroscopy IR spectrum of control and treated samples are illustrated in Figures 6 and 7, respectively and summarized below: • The absorption peaks observed around 750 cm-1 and 937 cm-1 in treated and control samples, respectively, which were attributed to Si-C bond stretching vibrations. • Moreover, it was observed that absorption peaks at 947 cm-1 (control) was slightly shifted to lower wavenumber at 937 cm-1 (T1) and 925 cm-1 (T2) after treatment, which might be due to reduced bond strength and changed inter-atomic interactions through biofield treatment.

  20. Conclusion

  21. In Summary: The biofield treatment has altered the particle size with the increment of 2.4% and significantly reduced the specific surface area by 71.16% in SiC powders. This could be due to change in particle shape and re-welding process caused by high energy milling through biofield treatment. Furthermore, the crystallite size in treated SiC powder was significantly changed as compared to control. Hence, the biofield treatment may affect the energy band gap of SiC. The shifting of IR peaks towards lower frequency revealed that silicon–carbon bond stretching might alter through biofield treatment. This indicates that biofield might be acting at atomic level in SiC powder to cause these changes. Altogether, the study results suggest that biofield treated SiC powder might be useful for high temperature electronic device applications.
