Electrical Switching In Potassium-Boro-Vanadate-Iron Glasses, H. R. Panchal, D. K. Kanchan Jan 1999

Electrical Switching In Potassium-Boro-Vanadate-Iron Glasses, H. R. Panchal, D. K. Kanchan

Turkish Journal of Physics

Electrical switching has been observed in 20K_2O : (75-y)V_2O_5 : yB_2O_3 : 5Fe_2O_3 glasses which were prepared by a splat quenching method. To investigate switching phenomenon, glass samples of the same dimension from as quenched material were examined for their I-V characteristics at various ambient temperatures. The exponential decrease of switching voltage is observed with increasing ambient temperature indicating the cause of switching due to Joule's heating. It is also observed that the switching voltage can be controlled by varying the ambient temperature and switching temperature by changing the voltage. The dependence of switching temperature on the amount of V_2O_5 …

The Peculiarities Of The Electrical And Thermoelectrical Properties Of P-Type Ag_2te, Ali̇ İhsan Demi̇rel, S. A. Aliev, F. F. Aliev, F. Z. Guseynov, Sali̇m Orak Jan 1999

The Peculiarities Of The Electrical And Thermoelectrical Properties Of P-Type Ag_2te, Ali̇ İhsan Demi̇rel, S. A. Aliev, F. F. Aliev, F. Z. Guseynov, Sali̇m Orak

Turkish Journal of Physics

The electrical and thermoelectrical properties of p-type Ag_2Te have been investigated. Various peculiarities were observed: the minimum (at T \approx 65 K) and maximum (at T \approx 200 K) on the temperature dependence of conductivity \sigma (T); the weak dependence of Hall coefficient R(T) (in 200-300 K range) and the maximum (at T \approx 100 K and 250 K) on the temperature dependence of thermal power \alpha_0 (T). The investigation results were interpreted by two-bands model. It is shown that mentioned peculiarities have been stimulated by the narrow gap of Ag_2Te and its temperature dependence.

Effect Of Illumination Temperature On Thermally Stimulated Current Spectrum Of Tlins_2, Selahatti̇n Özdemi̇r, Rauf Süleymanov, Mahmut Bucurgat, Enver Bulur Jan 1999

Effect Of Illumination Temperature On Thermally Stimulated Current Spectrum Of Tlins_2, Selahatti̇n Özdemi̇r, Rauf Süleymanov, Mahmut Bucurgat, Enver Bulur

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effect of pre-illumination on both thermally stimulated current and photocurrent spectra of TlInS_2 crystal is investigated. The increase in the photosensitivity of the crystal by several orders of magnitude together with the appearance of a new peak in the thermally stimulated current spectrum are observed as a result of the pre-illumination process. The filling of the traps, especially the sensitizing centers, during the pre-illumination is found to be the most favourable physical mechanism to explain the results.

Implications Of \Delta\Rho And Charm Ii Data For Z' Physics, Durmuş Ali̇ Demi̇r Jan 1999

Implications Of \Delta\Rho And Charm Ii Data For Z' Physics, Durmuş Ali̇ Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

We discuss the constraints on the Z^{\prime} model parameters coming from Z-pole and low-energy \nu_{\mu}-e scattering data in the frame work of GUT-motivated models. We find that when the coupling constant of the extra U(1) is small (large) the parameter space is mainly determined by the Z-pole (the low-energy \nu_{\mu}-e scattering) data.

Electroweak Symmetry Breaking In Low-Scale Quantum Gravity, M. Boz, A. Demi̇r, Namik Kemal Pak Jan 1999

Electroweak Symmetry Breaking In Low-Scale Quantum Gravity, M. Boz, A. Demi̇r, Namik Kemal Pak

Turkish Journal of Physics

We discuss the implications of low-scale quantum gravity on electroweak symmetry breaking by computing one-loop gravitational corrections to the Higgs potential. We conclude that these radiative corrections are quite large after summing over the graviton and dilaton Kaluza-Klein towers, and there is no possibility of electroweak symmetry breaking unless one allows for the complex vacuum expectation value for the Higgs field.

Projectile Fragmentation In Emulsion At (4.1-4.5) A Gev/C, A. El-Naghy, S. A. H. Abou-Steit, M. Mohery Jan 1999

Projectile Fragmentation In Emulsion At (4.1-4.5) A Gev/C, A. El-Naghy, S. A. H. Abou-Steit, M. Mohery

Turkish Journal of Physics

The fragmentation process has been investigated for 4.5A GeV/c^{28}Si nuclei in emulsion and compared with the results of 4.5A GeV/c^{24}Mg and 4.1A GeV/c^{22}Ne in order to test the validity of the different theoretical models. It has been found that a single parameter distribution is insufficient to explain exactly the fragmentation process. Correlation studies have shown to be necessary for distinguishing between the different theoretical models for the fragmentation. The impact parameter, which defines the nature of the collision, has been found to influence considerably the shape of the charge yield distribution. The angular distributions of the projectile fragments can be …

Stellar Observations Made At The Malatya Danjon Astrolabe Station, Orhan Gölbaşi, Hüseyi̇n Kiliç, Fernand Chollet Jan 1999

Stellar Observations Made At The Malatya Danjon Astrolabe Station, Orhan Gölbaşi, Hüseyi̇n Kiliç, Fernand Chollet

Turkish Journal of Physics

We give here the first results of astrometric stellar observations made at the Malatya Station with the modified astrolabe of Paris observatory. This campaign is conducted as part of a cooperation between Inönü University and the Paris Observatory. The astrolabe, which is strictly similar to that of Santiago de Chile, can use two reflecting prisms instead of the trnsparent prism of the Danjon Astrolabe. Consequently, it is possible to observe at the two zenith distances of 30° and 60°. The time is supplied by a GPS receiver which gives UTC with the necessary precision. As the station is a new …

Magnetisation In Two-Dimensions, Bengü Kaplan Jan 1999

Magnetisation In Two-Dimensions, Bengü Kaplan

Turkish Journal of Physics

We discuss the magnetisation deviation in two-dimensions (2d) for an iron film for which the anisotropy is much smaller and hence the magnetisation is a stronger function of temperature. The magnetisation deviation can be adequately described by an RPA (random phase approximation) approach. Our results fit the experimental data at high fields and hence can be used to estimate the value of the effective exchange interaction (J_{2d}) for monolayer (ML) films.

Low-Magnetic Field Microwave Absorption In Superconductors And Conducting Polymers, I. L. Khairullin, P. K. Khabibullaev, V. Yu. Sokolov, A. A. Zakhidov Jan 1999

Low-Magnetic Field Microwave Absorption In Superconductors And Conducting Polymers, I. L. Khairullin, P. K. Khabibullaev, V. Yu. Sokolov, A. A. Zakhidov

Turkish Journal of Physics

Low-magnetic field microwave absorption (MA) in superconductors and conducting polymers is analysed in a low-field signal (LFS) version of the MA detecting method. The temperature dependences, hysteretic benavior and other properties of a LFS are compared in superconducting versus non-superonducting systems. Spin selective hopping processes between polarons and bipolarons is proposed to be one of the possible mechanisms of a LFS in non-degenarate conducting polymers.

A Magnetization And Gmr Study On Multilayered Fe/Ag/Co Thin Film, Cengi̇z Bi̇rli̇kseven, Alpan Bek, Hüseyi̇n Zafer Durusoy Jan 1999

A Magnetization And Gmr Study On Multilayered Fe/Ag/Co Thin Film, Cengi̇z Bi̇rli̇kseven, Alpan Bek, Hüseyi̇n Zafer Durusoy

Turkish Journal of Physics

Single layer Fe(20Å) and Co(20Å) and multilayered Ag(20Å)/[Fe(20Å)/Ag(40Å)/Co(20Å)/Ag (40Å)] x 3/Ag(20Å) films were prepared in UHV by magnetron sputtering technique onto the silicon substates. Films were determined to have polycrystalline nature through SEM examination. Magnetization measurements were made on single and multilayer films. Due to the polycrystalline structure of the films, rounded magnetization curves were obtained. The GMR effect showed a rounded behaviour which also is an indication of the polycrystallinity of the films. The GMR effect, measured in Fe/Ag/Co multilayer structure, was analyzed with the help of magnetization behaviour of the multilayer structure and magnetization behaviour of the single …

Photometric Imaging Of Starspots, Techniques And Reliability, Zeki̇ Eker Jan 1999

Photometric Imaging Of Starspots, Techniques And Reliability, Zeki̇ Eker

Turkish Journal of Physics

Historical development of the starspot hypothesis and the unsolved problems associated with it are presented. The "non{uniqueness" attributed to the spot solutions is a major problem which could still discredit current efforts of starspot modeling by photometric or spectroscopic data. The basics of the starspot photometry(direct and inverse photometric problem, and the error analysis of the inverse problem) are presented. Since an analytical formulation exists to compute synthetic light curves from the physical parameters of spots, and recomputing original parameters analytically from the synthetic curves are also possible, the starspot hypothesis is a consistent physical problem. According to the error …

Giant Efficiency Of Fröhlich Interaction In Self-Assembled Quantum Dots, A. W. E. Minnaert, A. Yu. Silov, J. E. M. Haverkort, J. H. Wolter, A. Garcia, V. N. Gladilin, V. M. Fomn, J. T. Devreese Jan 1999

Giant Efficiency Of Fröhlich Interaction In Self-Assembled Quantum Dots, A. W. E. Minnaert, A. Yu. Silov, J. E. M. Haverkort, J. H. Wolter, A. Garcia, V. N. Gladilin, V. M. Fomn, J. T. Devreese

Turkish Journal of Physics

A transition is being observed from an inhomogeneously broadened photoluminescence band under non-resonant excitation of InAs/GaAs Self-Assembled quantum Dots (SAD's) into up to five phonon-assisted emission bands under selective excitation. A similar effect is obtained from photoluminescence excitation experiments (PLE). We interpret the phonon-assisted PL as being due to a giant efficiency of the Fröhlich interaction between an exciton polarized by strain in the SAD and LO-phonons. The model is consistent with the pronounced p-type polarization of the emission observed in our cleaved-side PL-measurements. Further support is obtained from our calculations in which a different localization of the electrons and …

Electron Liquid Beyond The Random Phase Approximation, Mehmet Tomak, Ceyhun Bulutay Jan 1999

Electron Liquid Beyond The Random Phase Approximation, Mehmet Tomak, Ceyhun Bulutay

Turkish Journal of Physics

A deeper understanding of low-dimensional and small-scale electronic systems requires an accurate characterization of the many-electron effects. Based on the electron liquid (EL) model, these many-body effects in the three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems are dealt going beyond the random phase approximation within the zero-temperature framework. The dielectric formulation of the many-body problem is recapitulated and the longitudinal dielectric function of the EL is obtained using the self-consistent local-field correction scheme, known as STLS, under a general spin-valley degeneracy. Extensive explicit expressions are provided for the use of other researchers. The performance of this formalism is compared in …

Energy Relaxation Rate Of Hot Electrons In N-Type Gan Epilayers Using Heat Pulse Techniques, P. Hawker, A. J. Kent, T. S. Cheng, C. T. Foxon Jan 1999

Energy Relaxation Rate Of Hot Electrons In N-Type Gan Epilayers Using Heat Pulse Techniques, P. Hawker, A. J. Kent, T. S. Cheng, C. T. Foxon

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have measured the energy relaxation rate of hot electrons in MBE grown bulk GaN epilayers on GaAs and sapphire substrates over the electron temperature range 1 - 130 K. The measurements were made using heat pulse techniques. For layers grown on GaAs substrates the results show that the carriers reside in the substrate, probably as in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction. For layers grown on sapphire substrates we obtain a P \propto T^4_e dependence for the relaxation rate in the low temperature limit, consistent with piezoelectric coupling in the so-called `dirty' regime, changing to a linear dependence in the high temperature, …

Feasibility Of The Gainp/Ingaas/Gaas System For Modulation Doped Field-Effect Transistors, C. Besi̇kci̇, Y. Ci̇van Jan 1999

Feasibility Of The Gainp/Ingaas/Gaas System For Modulation Doped Field-Effect Transistors, C. Besi̇kci̇, Y. Ci̇van

Turkish Journal of Physics

Si-doped single Ga_{0.51}In_{0.49}P layers and GaInP/InGaAs/GaAs modulation doped field-effect transistor structures grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy were characterized in detail through Hall-Effect and Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy techniques. Electrical characterization of the undoped and moderately Si-doped (N_D = 3 x 10^{17} cm^{-3}) GaInP layers yielded an electron trap with an activation energy of 0.75 eV and a temperature dependent capture cross section with a capture barrier of 0.593 eV showing DX center properties. The trap was not detected in highly Si doped (N_D = 4 x 10^{18} cm^{-3}) as grown layers suggesting that it is a defect complex …

Bands Of Localized Electromagnetic Waves In Random Collections Of Dielectric Particles, Marian Rusek, Arkadiusz Orlowski Jan 1999

Bands Of Localized Electromagnetic Waves In Random Collections Of Dielectric Particles, Marian Rusek, Arkadiusz Orlowski

Turkish Journal of Physics

Anderson localization of electromagnetic waves in random arrays of dielectric cylinders is studied. An effective theoretical approach based on the finite size scaling analysis of transmission is developed. The disordered dielectric medium is modeled by a system of randomly distributed 2D electric dipoles. The appearance of the band of localized waves emerging in the limit of an infinite medium is discovered. It suggests deeper insight into existing experimental and theoretical results.

Gauge Theory Of Phase And Scale, Marek Pawlowski Jan 1999

Gauge Theory Of Phase And Scale, Marek Pawlowski

Turkish Journal of Physics

Old Weyl's the idea of scale recalibration freedom and Infeld's and van der Waerden's (IW) ideas concerning geometrical interpretation of natural spinor phase gauge symmetry are discussed in the context of modern models of fundamental particle interactions. It is argued that (IW) gauge symmetry can be naturaly identified with the U(1) symmetry of the Weinberg-Salam model. It is also argued that there are no serious reasons to reject Weyl's gauge theory from consideration. Its inclusion enriches the original Weinberg-Salam theory and leads to prediction of new phenomena that do not contradict experiments.

The Wigner Problem In Electrodynamics, Andrzej Horzela Jan 1999

The Wigner Problem In Electrodynamics, Andrzej Horzela

Turkish Journal of Physics

The relation between canonical commutation rules and a shape of acting force is analysed. It is shown that canonical commutation relations and Newtonian equations of motion for a single particle dynamics do imply the force to be of the Lorentz type but the inverse is not true. The example of a single particle motion in a constant magnetic field shows that equations of motion allow an alternative to canonical commutation relations to exist and it is a Lie algebra. The algebra found is of the type of algebras found in studies leading towards noncommutative geometry approaches to physical problems.

Effect Of Ionizing Radiation On The Silicon Impatt Diode Characteristics, M. B. Tagaev Jan 1999

Effect Of Ionizing Radiation On The Silicon Impatt Diode Characteristics, M. B. Tagaev

Turkish Journal of Physics

We investigated the effect of ^{60}Co \gamma-irradiation (doses from 10^2 to 2 \times 10^6 Gy), both without and with heat annealing, on silicon IMPATT diode parameters. It is shown that such treatments improve the diode characteristics (particularly decrease the reverse current and increase both the output and the diffusion length of the minority charge carriers) due to radiation-enhanced processes.

Cyclic Nature Of The Orbital Period Variations Of Some Algol-Type Binaries, Seli̇m O. Selam, Osman Demi̇rcan Jan 1999

Cyclic Nature Of The Orbital Period Variations Of Some Algol-Type Binaries, Seli̇m O. Selam, Osman Demi̇rcan

Turkish Journal of Physics

The long-term period variations of the classical algol-type binaries XZ And, U Cep, \beta Per, RT Per, ST Per and TX UMa were studied by using all available observed times of eclipse minima. The (O-C) diagrams formed by the times of eclipse minima were found to be representable by one or more cyclic variations superimposed on a secular parabolic variation. The secular variations in the orbital periods should be caused by the mass transfer between the component stars and the mass loss from the systems. For our sample of Algol systems, none of the cyclic variations were found caused by …

Band-Gap Renormalization In Quantum Wires, K. Güven, C. R. Bennett, B. Tanatar Jan 1999

Band-Gap Renormalization In Quantum Wires, K. Güven, C. R. Bennett, B. Tanatar

Turkish Journal of Physics

Improved techniques in semiconductor fabrication increased the interest in quantum wire structures, because of their opto-electronic device application possibilities. Many-body interactions among the electrons and holes in the wire lead to the band-gap renormalization (BGR), which in turn affect the optical properties of the system. We study the BGR within the random-phase approximation incorporating the dynamical effects, and investigate the density dependence.

Carrier Transport And Band Offsets In Two Dimensional Heterostructures, Hi̇lmi̇ Ünlü Jan 1999

Carrier Transport And Band Offsets In Two Dimensional Heterostructures, Hi̇lmi̇ Ünlü

Turkish Journal of Physics

Advances in the low dimensional heterojunction device technology cannot be complete without adequate and reliable analytic model for determining interface properties such as band offsets needed to study the carrier transport and to evaluate the device performance at high temperatures and pressures. In this article, using the extended universal tight binding model of semiconductors, a new way of determining the band offsets in heterostructures is presented. In this model the band offsets are first determined by aligning the vacuum level, defined relative to valence band maximum which is screened by optical dielectric constant of semiconductors, at the interface at absolute …

Multitime Generalization Of Maxwell Electrodynamics And Gravity, Vladilen Barashenkov Jan 1999

Multitime Generalization Of Maxwell Electrodynamics And Gravity, Vladilen Barashenkov

Turkish Journal of Physics

System of equations of motion for interacting electromagnetic field and charged bodies is derived by means of an action principle in six-dimensional space with a three-dimensional time vector. The influence of the additional (hidden) components of time on the body motion is considered. Macroscopic experiments and astrophysical observations which can reveal the time multi-dimensionality are discussed. At present there are no facts which would be in contradiction with the hypothesis of the multi-dimensionality of time.

New Aspects Of Vavilov-Cherenkov Radiation, Georgy Afanasiev, Vladimir Kartavenko Jan 1999

New Aspects Of Vavilov-Cherenkov Radiation, Georgy Afanasiev, Vladimir Kartavenko

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effects arising from accelerated and decelerated motion of charged point particles inside a medium are studied. It is shown explicitly that, in addition to the bremsstrahlung and Cherenkov shock wave, the electromagnetic shock wave arising from the charge velocity exceeding the medium light velocity should be observed. This shock wave has the same singularity as the Cherenkov one and therefore, it is more singular than the bremsstrahlung shock wave. The space-time regions where these shock waves exist and conditionsunder which they appear are determined.

Spectral Broadening Functions, Slavek Rucinski Jan 1999

Spectral Broadening Functions, Slavek Rucinski

Turkish Journal of Physics

Many astrophysical phenomena involving velocity fields produce broadening of spectral lines. Frequently, the cross-correlation function (CCF) is used to extract information about this broadening from segments of high resolution spectra. CCF has become the standard tool for handing extraction of radial-velocity and broadening information from high resolution spectra as it permits integration of information which is common to many spectral lines into one function which is easy to calculate, visualize and interpret. However, it can be argued that this is not the best tool for applications such as determinations of metallicities ([Fe/H]), for finding locations of star spots on active …

Experimental Observation Of Individual Single Wall Nanotube Species By Raman Microscopy, G. S. Duesberg, W. Blau, Hugh Byrne, J. Muster, M. Burghard, S. Roth Jan 1999

Experimental Observation Of Individual Single Wall Nanotube Species By Raman Microscopy, G. S. Duesberg, W. Blau, Hugh Byrne, J. Muster, M. Burghard, S. Roth

Articles

Individual single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) or small ropes of SWNTs with the same diameter have been characterised by Raman spectroscopy. Highly pure, length-selected SWNTs adsorbed onto substrates designed for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy were investigated with a Raman microscope. Various spectra, each with a distinct sharp peak in the radial breathing mode area and four C–C stretching modes could be observed. The modes also showed a strong variation in the relative intensities. In correlation with theoretical predictions this should establish Raman microscopy as a non-destructive nano-technological tool, capable of determining the diameter, symmetry and position of individual SWNTs.

Direct Current Glow Discharges In Atmospheric Air, Robert H. Stark, Karl H. Schoenbach Jan 1999

Direct Current Glow Discharges In Atmospheric Air, Robert H. Stark, Karl H. Schoenbach

Bioelectrics Publications

Direct current glow discharges have been operated in atmospheric air by using 100 μm microhollow cathode discharges as plasma cathodes. The glow discharges were operated at currents of up to 22 mA, corresponding to current densities of 3.8 A/cm2 and at average electric fields of 1.2 kV/cm. Electron densities in the glow are in the range from 1012 to 1013  cm−3. Varying the current of the microhollow cathode discharge allows us to control the current in the atmospheric pressure glow discharge. Large volume atmospheric pressure air plasmas can be generated by operating microhollow cathode discharges …

Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship

We measured at room temperature the photoluminescence spectra of the thermally oxidized Si1-x-yGexCy thin films which were grown on silicon substrates by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and the wet oxidized at 1100 °C for 20 min. The photoluminescence band with a peak at ~393 nm under the exciting radiation of λ = 241 nm was observed. Possible mechanism of this photoluminescence is discussed.
