Molecular Dynamics Study Of Thermal Properties Of Intermetallic Alloys, H. H. Kart, Mehmet Tomak, Tahi̇r Çağin Jan 2006

Molecular Dynamics Study Of Thermal Properties Of Intermetallic Alloys, H. H. Kart, Mehmet Tomak, Tahi̇r Çağin

Turkish Journal of Physics

Molecular dynamics simulations of bulk copper, gold pure metals and their ordered intermetallics alloys of Cu_3Au(L1_2) and CuAu_3(L1_2) have been carried out between above 0 K and below the their melting points of the materials for predicting their temperature-dependent thermophysical properties. The effects of temperature and concentration on the physical properties such as enthalpy, volume, heat capacity, thermal expansion and density of Cu_xAu_{1-x} are studied. Especially, temperature-dependent polynomial functions of enthalpy, volume and density are obtained. Sutton-Chen (SC) and Quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) many-body potentials are used in the constant enthalpy-constant pressure ensemble (HPN) and constant pressure-constant temperature ensemble (TPN). Three …

Molecular Dynamics Studies On Glass Formation Of Pd-Ni Alloys By Rapid Quenching, Sevgi̇ Özdemi̇r Kart, Mehmet Tomak, Mustafa Uludoğan, Tahi̇r Çağin

Turkish Journal of Physics

The rapid solidification of Pd-Ni alloys is studied with the constant-pressure and constant-temperature (TPN) and the constant-volume and constant-temperature (TVN) molecular dynamics technique to obtain an atomic description of glass formation in the alloy. Quantum Sutton-Chen potential for Pd-Ni binary system is applied in the simulations. We present some thermodynamic and structural results from simulations of such glasses over a range of compositions. The structural properties are analyzed by means of pair distribution function, volume, and enthalpy as a function of temperature and concentration at the cooling rates ranging from 5 K/ps to 0.05 K/ps to see whether the Pd-Ni …

Effect Of A Finite Number Of Electrons On The Physical Properties Of Two Dimensional Parabolic Quantum Dot, Berna Gülveren, Ülfet Atav, Mehmet Tomak

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effect of number of particles on the physical properties of a two dimensional parabolic quantum dot system is investigated numerically at finite temperature. The Thomas-Fermi equation is solved self consistently with Poisson equation. The changes induced by electron-electron interaction are also analyzed. It is shown that the numerical procedure that is applied to solve the problem is very efficient at all temperatures.


A Detailed Ensemble Monte Carlo Study Of The Effect Of Quantum Well Width On Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector Characteristics, Sema Memi̇ş, Oray Orkun Cellek, Umut Bostanci, Mehmet Tomak, Cengi̇z Beşi̇kçi̇ Jan 2006

A Detailed Ensemble Monte Carlo Study Of The Effect Of Quantum Well Width On Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector Characteristics, Sema Memi̇ş, Oray Orkun Cellek, Umut Bostanci, Mehmet Tomak, Cengi̇z Beşi̇kçi̇

Turkish Journal of Physics

We present a simulation based investigation of the dependence of the device characteristics on the quantum well width in AlGaAs/GaAs quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) through the ensemble Monte Carlo technique. The simulations on two different standard Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As/GaAs QWIPs with quantum well widths of 36 and 44 Å have shown that the gain in the former is considerably higher, which is due to much longer lifetime of the photoexcited electrons as a result of lower capture probability in the device. We discuss this observation by the investigation of the electron scattering rates in these structures through realistically evaluated scattering mechanisms …

The Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity, Muzaffer Adak Jan 2006

The Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity, Muzaffer Adak

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study symmetric teleparallel (STP) gravity model, in which only spacetime non-metricity is nonzero. First we obtain STP equivalent Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian and give an approach for a generic solution in terms of only metric tensor. Then we obtain a spherically symmetric static solution to the Einstein's equation in STP space-time and discuss the singularities. Finally, we study a model given by a Lagrangian 4-form quadratic in non-metricity. Thus, we seek Schwarzschild-type solutions because of its observational success and obtain some sets of solutions. Finally, we discuss physical relevance of the solutions.


Equivariant Localization For Susy Quantum Mechanics, Levent Akant Jan 2006

Equivariant Localization For Susy Quantum Mechanics, Levent Akant

Turkish Journal of Physics

We apply equivariant localization to supersymmetric quantum mechanics and show that the partition function localizes on the instantons of the theory. Our construction of equivariant cohomology for SUSY quantum mechanics is different than the ones that already exist in the literature. A hidden bosonic symmetry is made explicit and the supersymmetry is extended. New bosonic symmetry is the square of the new fermionic symmetry. The D term is now the parameter of the bosonic symmetry. This construction provides us with an equivariant complex together with a Cartan differential and makes the use of localization principle possible.


Explicit Realization Of Pseudo-Hermitian And Quasi-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics For Two-Level Systems, Ali̇ Mostafazadeh, Seher Özçeli̇k Jan 2006

Explicit Realization Of Pseudo-Hermitian And Quasi-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics For Two-Level Systems, Ali̇ Mostafazadeh, Seher Özçeli̇k

Turkish Journal of Physics

We give an explicit characterization of the most general quasi-Hermitian operator H, the associated metric operators \eta_+, and \eta_+-pseudo-Hermitian operators acting in C^2. The latter represent the physical observables of a model whose Hamiltonian and Hilbert space are respectively H and \C^2 endowed with the inner product defined by \eta_+. Our calculations allows for a direct demonstration of the fact that the choice of an irreducible family of observables fixes the metric operator up to a multiplicative factor.


Infinite-Hamiltonian Structures Of The Riemann Equation, Refi̇k Turhan Jan 2006

Infinite-Hamiltonian Structures Of The Riemann Equation, Refi̇k Turhan

Turkish Journal of Physics

We give two distinct infinite-Hamiltonian representations for the Riemann equation. One with first order Hamiltonian operators and another with third order-first order Hamiltonian operators. Both representations contain an arbitrary function of the dynamical variable. We prove that all the Hamiltonian operators of the Riemann equation are mutually compatible.

Ibm-2 Calculations Of Selected Even-Even Ruthenium Nuclei, İlyas İnci̇, Nuretti̇n Türkan

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, we have employed the Interacting Boson Model-2 (IBM-2) to determine the most appropriate Hamiltonian for the study of ruthenium nuclei in the region A \cong 100. Using the best fit values of parameters to construct the Hamiltonian, we have estimated energy levels and multipole mixing ratios (\delta (E2/M1)) for some doubly-even Ru nuclei. The results are compared with previous experimental and theoretical data and it is observed that they are in good agreement.

Influence Of Thickness On Optical Properties Of A: As_2se_3 Thin Films, Dinesh C. Sati, Rajendra Kumar, Ram Mohan Mehra Jan 2006

Influence Of Thickness On Optical Properties Of A: As_2se_3 Thin Films, Dinesh C. Sati, Rajendra Kumar, Ram Mohan Mehra

Turkish Journal of Physics

This paper reports optical properties of amorphous chalcogenide thin films of As_2Se_3 of different thicknesses 2000-6800 Å. The transmittance and reflectance of thin films were measured in the wavelength range 500-1000 nm. It was found that the optical band gap increases with film thickness. Variation of refractive index n and extinction coefficient k with thickness have been studied to analyze optical efficiency of the As_2Se_3 thin films. The dielectric behavior of the films has also been studied and high frequency dielectric constants \varepsilon_{\infty} has been estimated as a function of thickness of films.

We give some new examples of smooth 4-manifolds which are diffeomorphic although they are obtained by Fintushel-Stern knot surgeries on a smooth 4-manifold with different knots; the first such examples are given by Akbulut [1]. In the proof we essentially use the monodromy of a cusp.


A Fractal Example Of A Continuous Monotone Function With Vanishing Derivatives On A Dense Set And Infinite Derivatives On Another Dense Set, Bünyami̇n Demi̇r, Vakif Dzhafarov, Şahi̇n Koçak, Mehmet Üreyen Jan 2006

A Fractal Example Of A Continuous Monotone Function With Vanishing Derivatives On A Dense Set And Infinite Derivatives On Another Dense Set, Bünyami̇n Demi̇r, Vakif Dzhafarov, Şahi̇n Koçak, Mehmet Üreyen

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Inspired by the theory of analysis on fractals, we construct an example of a continuous, monotone function on an interval, which has vanishing derivatives on a dense set and infinite derivatives on another dense set. Although such examples could be constructed by classical means of probability and measure theory, this one is more elementary and emerges naturally as a byproduct of some new fractal constructions.

Two, Three And Four-Dimensional Electromagnetics Using Differential Forms, Karl F. Warnick, Peter Russer Jan 2006

Two, Three And Four-Dimensional Electromagnetics Using Differential Forms, Karl F. Warnick, Peter Russer

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The exterior calculus of differential forms provides a mathematical framework for electromagnetic field theory that combines much of the generality of tensor analysis with the computational simplicity and concreteness of the vector calculus. We review the pedagogical aspects of the calculus of differential forms in providing distinct representations of field intensity and flux density, physically meaningful graphical representations for sources, fields, and fluxes, and a picture of the curl operation that is as simple and intuitive as that of the gradient and divergence. To further highlight the benefits of differential forms notation, we demonstrate the flexibility of the calculus of …


Complex Analysis Of The Lossy-Transmission Line Theory: A Generalized Smith Chart, E. Gago-Ribas, C. Dehesa-Martinez, M. J. Gonzalez-Morales Jan 2006

Complex Analysis Of The Lossy-Transmission Line Theory: A Generalized Smith Chart, E. Gago-Ribas, C. Dehesa-Martinez, M. J. Gonzalez-Morales

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

It has been very usual in the specialized literature to skip the detailed study of the lossy transmission line theory by reducing it to the low-loss approximation. Although this is valid in the most common practical cases, the study of the general lossy case becomes very important due to the fact that it makes possible a better and deeper understanding of the physical effects associated to general losses, as well as the low-loss frequency-dependent regime. Besides, the analysis of the general case provides important results that may be extended to the analysis of real waveguiding systems, facilitating the understanding and …
