Effects Of The Back Reflector On The Optical Enhancement Factor And Quantum Efficiency Of A-Si:H P-I-N Solar Cells, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, Bengü Kaplan Jan 2002

Effects Of The Back Reflector On The Optical Enhancement Factor And Quantum Efficiency Of A-Si:H P-I-N Solar Cells, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, Bengü Kaplan

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effect of tin oxide (SnO_2) texture and back reflector (BR) on optical enhancement factor has been extensively investigated in a series of 4 a-Si:H p-i-n solar cells. The internal quantum efficiency QE in the wavelength range 550--750 nm has been analyzed using an optical model. The optical enhancement factor m, which is a wavelength-dependent fitting parameter, represents the increase in optical pathlength relative to the i-layer thickness. Our solar cells, at low or high haze SnO_{2} with an Al BR, have negligible optical enhancement, m < 1.5, representing failure to obtain multiple reflections. This is consistent with large parasitic absorption at the Al/Si interface. Our solar cells at high haze SnO_{2} with ZnO/Al or ZnO/Ag BRs have peak values of m \sim 3-4, with ZnO/Ag having slightly larger values than ZnO/Al. The maximum values of m , and thus the QE increase with reflectivity of the BR, indicates that efficient light trapping needs a very reflective BR to minimize parasitic absorption losses with each pass.


Study Of The Effectiveness Of Various Solar Wind Parameters In The Development Of Geomagnetic Storms During Interplanetary Events, -- Badruddin Jan 2002

Study Of The Effectiveness Of Various Solar Wind Parameters In The Development Of Geomagnetic Storms During Interplanetary Events, -- Badruddin

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have selected some interplanetary events responsible for geomagnetic disturbances of varying magnitude, fairly different from one another. We then tried to find the heliospheric structure (e.g. shock/sheath and/or CME/magnetic cloud) responsible for individual disturbances. We have discussed and inter-compared these structures in their plasma and field parameters as well as in their geomagnetic effects. As a parameter for geomagnetic disturbance we have chosen index Dst, to compare it with variations in field and plasma to heliospheric response structures. We considered parameters such as total field strength, its north-south component, solar wind density, temperature and velocity. In addition, we have …

Mathematical Modeling Of Plasmachemical Processes, Meli̇k-Aslanova Tamilla

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this research, we studied the kinetics of plasmachemical processes in quasiequilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions. The example of methane conversion into acetylene showed that the most efficient plasmachemical process may be achieved under nonequilibrium conditions, especially, when the reaction was stimulated by vibrational excitation of molecules.


A New Metallicity Calibration For Dwarf Stars With Rgu-Photometry, Sali̇h Karaali̇, Selçuk Bi̇li̇r Jan 2002

A New Metallicity Calibration For Dwarf Stars With Rgu-Photometry, Sali̇h Karaali̇, Selçuk Bi̇li̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have adopted the procedure of Carney to obtain a metallicity calibration for dwarfs utilising RGU-photometry. For this purpose we selected 76 dwarfs of different metallicities from Carney and from Strobel et al., and evaluated their \delta (U-G) ultra-violet excess relative to the Hyades by transforming UBV magnitudes to RGU via the metallicity dependent equations of Ak-Güngör. The \delta_{0.6}/\delta M normalized factors of Sandage transform \delta (U-G) excess at any G-R to \delta \equiv \delta_{1.08}, i.e. the ultra-violet excess at G-R = 1.08 mag, corresponding to B-V = 0.60 mag in the UBV-system. Finally, the (\delta, [Fe/H]) pairs were shown …


Microstructure And Critical Current Of Hot-Pressed Ybco Ceramics, Şadan Özcan, Tezer Firat, Engi̇n Özdaş Jan 2002

Microstructure And Critical Current Of Hot-Pressed Ybco Ceramics, Şadan Özcan, Tezer Firat, Engi̇n Özdaş

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effect of hot-pressing (HPing) on the densification and the superconducting properties of YBCO were investigated. The phases and microstructure were analysed by XRD and SEM and transport properties were studied by I-V and AC susceptibility measurements. Relative density up to 93% and critical current density of 509 A/cm^{2} at 77 K were achieved through uniaxial HPing at 800°C under 325 kg/cm^{2} pressure for 4 hours. HPing raised the J_{c} from 80 A/cm^{2} to 509 A/cm^{2}. These results and AC susceptibility measurements reveal that the weak links or pinning forces were improved by increasing HPing pressure.


Effect Of The Oxygen/Halogen Ratio On The Physical Properties Of Some Sodium-Boro-Vanadate Glasses, Ahmed Gamal El-Din Mostafa Jan 2002

Effect Of The Oxygen/Halogen Ratio On The Physical Properties Of Some Sodium-Boro-Vanadate Glasses, Ahmed Gamal El-Din Mostafa

Turkish Journal of Physics

Four different glass systems of the sodium boro-vanadate type containing halogen ions, were prepared by melting at 1000°C for three hours and annealed at 300°C. These glasses were investigated using dc conductivity, density, molar volume and magnetic susceptibility measurements. It was found that the activation energy shows a decrease as the halogen ions were increased, which was attributed to the increase in the mobility of sodium ions and the gradual formation of some terminal non-bridging halogens, in addition to the electron hopping between the different oxidation states of vanadium. The activation energy values for glasses containing iodine ions was less …


Paramagnetic Defects In \Gamma-Irradiated, Pure And Doped (With As, Cl And Br) Selenium, Ibrahimgizi Salima Mekhtieva, Ibrahimogli Namig Ibragimov, Isaogli Abasat Isaev, Zeinalogli Vasif Zeinalov, Arifogli Eldar Mamedov Jan 2002

Characterization Of The Sno_{2}/P Contact Resistance And Sno_{2} Properties In Operating A-Si:H P-I-N Solar Cells, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, Bengü Kaplan

Turkish Journal of Physics

A method is presented to characterize the TCO/p contact and the TCO sheet resistance in a-Si TCO/p-i-n superstrate devices. It is extremely useful for understanding resistance losses in modulus and diagnosing how plasma processing influences the TCO layers. Analysis of 4-terminal dark J-V measurements as a function of temperature on devices with varying TCO geometry yields the TCO/p contact resistance R_{TCO/p}, its activation energy E_{a} or barrier height, and the TCO sheet resistance R_{SH} in an integrated device structure. The method is applied to devices fabricated on different brands of commercial SnO_{2} substrates with different p-layers. Important new results are …


The Temperature Dependence Of The Electronic Structure Of Si \Delta-Doped Gaas, Emi̇ne Öztürk Jan 2002

The Temperature Dependence Of The Electronic Structure Of Si \Delta-Doped Gaas, Emi̇ne Öztürk

Turkish Journal of Physics

We investigated theoretically the change of electronic properties of Si \delta-doped GaAs layer as a function of temperature. We studied the influence of temperature on the donor concentration for a nonuniform distribution, which is taken as different from the known Gaussian distribution. In order to obtain the electronic structure we have calculated self-consistent Schrödinger - Poisson equations. We have seen that the change of the electronic properties as dependent on temperature is less pronounced at higher doping concentration.

Determination Of Cadmium By Faas After Solid-Phase Extraction Of Its 1-Benzylpiperazinedithiocarbamate Complex On Microcrystalline Naphthalene, Hasan Cesur, Beki̇r Bati

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

By using 1-benzylpiperazinedithiocarbamate (1-BPzDC) as a new reagent, a method of solid-phase extraction is described for the pre-concentration of cadmium in water samples prior to its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). This method is based on the fact that cadmium forming in aqueous phase cadmium 1-benzylpiperazinedithiocarbamate complex (Cd(1-BPzDC)_{2}) can be extracted with microcrystalline naphthalene on solid phase, then back-extracted with potassium cyanide solution into aqueous phase and measured by FAAS. The optimum experimental parameters for the extraction and back-extraction of cadmium were investigated. The obtained recovery was nearly 97% when the enrichment factor was 500 for spiked cadmium …

Determination Of The Protonation Constants Of Some Substituted Salicylideneanilines By The Spectrophotometric Method In Ethanol-Water Mixtures, M. Abdülkadi̇r Akay, Esi̇n Canel, Esma Kiliç, Fi̇tnat Köseoğlu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Protonation constants of salicylideneaniline and methyl-, ethyl-, methoxy- fluoro-, chloro-, bromo- and iodo- substituted salicylideneanilines were determined by spectrophotomeric titrimetry in 10, 30, 50 and 70% ethanol-water mixtures at constant ionic strength and at 25^{o}C. The results obtained from this work were compared with those obtained using the potentimetric method. The difference between the results found with these two methods was approximately \pm $ 0.20 logK units. The spectrophotometric method was judged to be more suitable than the potentiometric method for halogen substituted salicylideneanilines with the low logK values and in the solvent mixture containing 10% ethanol, due to the …

Some new triorganotin carboxylates containing germanium with general formulae (R^{1}GeCHR^{2}CH_{2}COO) Sn(CH_{2}C(CH_{3})_{3})_{3} where R^{1} = N(CH_{2}CH_{2}O)_{3} and C_{6}H_{5}, R^{2} = C_{6}H_{5}, p-C_{6}H_{4}OCH_{3} and o-/p-C_{6}H_{4}F were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, multinuclear (^{1}H, ^{13}C, ^{119}Sn) NMR and mass spectrometry. Antibacterial activity of these compounds was evaluated against the standard drugs ampicilline and amoxicilline, and found to be more active in some cases than the standard drugs.


An Investigation Of The Interaction Of 4-Membered Rings With Adjacent Carbanion Centers, Özden Özel Güven, N. Beki̇r Peyni̇rci̇oğlu Jan 2002

An Investigation Of The Interaction Of 4-Membered Rings With Adjacent Carbanion Centers, Özden Özel Güven, N. Beki̇r Peyni̇rci̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of cyclobutylcarbinyl phenyl ketones was prepared and the rates of base catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange of \alpha -hydrogen atoms were compared with those of appropriate model compounds, to test the validity of an earlier finding, which suggested that a four-membered ring, like the three-membered ring, has the ability to stabilize an adjacent carbanion center. In this study, unlike the cyclopropyl group, no clearly defined stabilization of the adjacent carbanion center was detected by the 1-phenyl- and 1-p-nitrophenyl- substituted cyclobutyl groups and only a very slight rate enhancement by the 3-phenylcyclobutyl group was detected. Attempts to detect a stabilization of …

Stabilization Of Papain By Modification With Chitosan, Ali̇ Kilinç, Seçi̇l Önal, Azmi̇ Telefoncu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Papain (EC 3.4.22.2) was immobilized on chitosan by adsorption and subsequent cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The immobilized papain displayed a lower specific activity than did the native enzyme. The thermal stability of the immobilized papain, relative to that of the free enzyme, was markedly increased. The storage stability of the conjugated enzyme was enhanced such that more than 85% of the initial activity remained after a month storage at 45°C. The optimum pH of immobilized papain was shifted to the acidic region and enzyme stability was increased at pH levels below 3.5.


Steric Effects On The Oxidation Potential Of 1-Aryl Thioglycosides, Mehmet A. Oturan, Maurice Medebielle, Shirish A. Patil, Robert S. Klein Jan 2002

Steric Effects On The Oxidation Potential Of 1-Aryl Thioglycosides, Mehmet A. Oturan, Maurice Medebielle, Shirish A. Patil, Robert S. Klein

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The electrochemical oxidation of several 1-arylthioglycosides has been studied by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile. We found that the oxidation potential of the \alpha anomer always occurs at a less positive oxidation potential than of the \beta anomer. The difference in the oxidation potential depends on the substituent attached on the C-3 of the sugar moiety and is greatly influenced by the stability of the radical cation obtained after the first electron transfer.

A commercial active carbon was tested as an adsorbent for the removal of phenol from aqueous solutions. The optimum conditions for maximum adsorption in terms of shaking time, amount of the adsorbent, and concentration of the adsorbate were identified. The adsorption data fitted the Langmuir isotherm equation in the whole range of concentrations studied. The adsorption of picric acid, pyrogallol and salicylic acid at selected conditions for phenol was also studied. Elution studies to recover the adsorbed phenol from active carbon were performed with distilled water, NaOH and HCl solutions.


Vapour Liquid Equilibrium In Asymmetric Mixtures Of N-Alkanes With Ethane, Anca Duta, Dan Geana Jan 2002

Vapour Liquid Equilibrium In Asymmetric Mixtures Of N-Alkanes With Ethane, Anca Duta, Dan Geana

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The paper presents a vapour liquid equilibria study in binary mixtures of n-alkanes with high dimensional asymmetry. Each mixture contains ethane and alkanes higher than eicosane. Calculations were done using two equations of state, Peng-Robinson (PR) and Soave (SRK), in combination with van der Waals mixing rules, corrected with two interaction parameters. A limited temperature dependence of the interaction parameters was found. The correlations between the interaction parameters and the number of carbon atoms of the higher n-alkane led to equations valid for systems ethane + C_{3} up to C_{44}. The results of the prediction calculations were good, both with …

The Membrane Potentials Of Periderm And Cuticular Membranes, Aygül Şahi̇n, Yunus Çengeloğlu, Mustafa Ersöz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The membrane potentials of periderm and cuticular membranes were measured with KCI and NaCl solution using Ag/AgCI electrodes. For the electromotive force (emf) measurements, the concentration in both compartments were brought to equilibrium with the 0.01 M concentration of KCI or NaCl solution, then the one side was kept constant and the other side changed. The estimation of the Donnan potential contribution to the membrane potential was carried out by taking into account the fixed charge concentration, C_x, value. From these measurements electrochemical characterization of the asymmetry and surface layers of the periderm and cuticular membranes can be described.

Synthesis And Spectral Characterization Of Unsymmetric Organotin(Iv) Derivatives, Sadiq-Ur Rehman, Saqib Ali, Moazzam H. Ghatti, Khadija Shahid, M. Mazhar, M. Kaleem, Amin Badshah

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Unsymmetric Organotin(IV) compounds of general formula R_{4-n}SnR^\prime_{n} have been synthesized by the reaction of corresponding organotin(IV) chlorides with n-hexyl magnesium bromide prepared in dry ether in situ, where R = CH_{3}, n-C_{4}H_{9}, C_{6}H_{5}, C_{6}H_{5}CH_{2} and R^\prime = n-C_{6}H_{13}. The reactions were carried out in dry toluene, refluxed for 6 h and the final products were purified through vacuum distillation. These compounds were characterized by multinuclear NMR (^{1}H, ^{13}C, ^{119}Sn), IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to predict their structures. All spectroscopic results support the four-coordination and tetrahedral geometry of the compounds.
