Generalized 2d Yang-Mills Theories: Large-N Limit And Phase Structure, Masoud Alimohammadi Jan 2000

Generalized 2d Yang-Mills Theories: Large-N Limit And Phase Structure, Masoud Alimohammadi

Turkish Journal of Physics

After review the 2D Yang--Mills theories (YM$_2$) and its large--$N$ behaviour, the Generalized 2D Yang--Mills theories (gYM$_2$) and their partition functions on a general two--dimensional Riemann surface are discussed.The large--$N$ behaviour of these models is studied in weak regime, and in strong regime, we restrict ourselves to $\phi^4$ gYM$_2$. We show that this model has a third order phase transition, similar to ordinary YM$_2$ theory.


Spinors And Positive Mass, Malcolm Ludvigsen Jan 2000

Spinors And Positive Mass, Malcolm Ludvigsen

Turkish Journal of Physics

As an example of how spinor methods can be applied to the positive-mass theorem, a simple, spinor-based proof of the theorem is presented for the case of a single black hole. Generalisations of the theorem are also discussed.


The Decay Of A Black Hole As A Quantum Dissipative Process, Carl Wolf Jan 2000

The Decay Of A Black Hole As A Quantum Dissipative Process, Carl Wolf

Turkish Journal of Physics

By considering the decay of a black hole as a result of the interaction of a quantum system with a dissipative vacuum, or in terms of string theory, the interaction of localized string modes with non-local string modes, we demonstrate how the single parameter representing dissipation can be calculated in terms of known fundamental constants. In view of the uncertainty embodied in all the present theories of black hole decay it is suggested that the approach of this note might provide fresh insight to the problem of black hole decay.

The Effect Of Various Experimental Parameters On Glow Peaks And Trapping Parameters Of Caf_2:Dy (Tld-200) Crystals, A. Necmeddi̇n Yazici, M. Yakup Hacii̇brahi̇moğlu, Meti̇n Bedi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

In the present study, thermoluminescence glow curves of CaF$_{2}$:Dy (TLD-200) crystals have been investigated in detail between the temperature region 300-550 K. The number of peaks and their trapping parameters (E, s and b) have been determined using the computerized glow curve fitting, peak shape and isothermal decay methods. In addition, the effect of storage times at room temperature, dose levels and heating rates on the trapping parameters have been investigated in detail by using computerized glow curve deconvolution method (CGCD) using first and general order kinetic equations.


Effects Of Disorder On The Drag Rate In Double Quantum-Wire Systems, B. Tanatar Jan 2000

Effects Of Disorder On The Drag Rate In Double Quantum-Wire Systems, B. Tanatar

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the Coulomb drag rate for electrons in a double quantum-wire structure in the presence of disorder. We use the particle number-conserving relaxation-time approximation to phenomenologically broaden the response functions entering the drag rate expression to account for the disorder effects. In contrast to the usual low-temperature regime investigated by various researchers, we focus our attention on the high-temperature drag rate to which plasmon modes are known to make substantial contribution. The full wave vector and frequency dependent random-phase approximation (RPA) at finite temperature and disorder strength is employed to describe the effective interlayer Coulomb interaction. The interplay between …


Steady States Of Dynamically Coupled Two-Species Systems, Muntasi̇r Barma, Sri̇ram Ramaswamy Jan 2000

Steady States Of Dynamically Coupled Two-Species Systems, Muntasi̇r Barma, Sri̇ram Ramaswamy

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the steady states of two stochastic lattice models with two species of particles, where the local mobility of one species depends on the spatial distribution of the other. The eigenvalues of a $2\times 2$ matrix of couplings can develop imaginary parts, and the question arises whether this implies an instability to a macroscopically different steady state. In the first model, where the mobility depends on the local density of the other species, we show that the system undergoes macroscopic phase separation. In the second model, where the mobility depends on the second derivative of the density of the …

Using the ground state candidates for Hydrophobic-Polar lattice model on a two dimensional square lattice, we exactly enumerate the native states of proteins with length up to 20 for a wide range of energy parameters. We find the reduced set of contact maps, ground state candidates, perfectly stable sequences and designability of configurations.


Chaos In Closed Isotropic Cosmological Models With Steep Scalar Field Potential, A. V. Toporensky Jan 2000

Chaos In Closed Isotropic Cosmological Models With Steep Scalar Field Potential, A. V. Toporensky

Turkish Journal of Physics

The dynamics of closed scalar field FRW cosmological models is studied for several types of exponentially and more than exponentially steep potentials. The parameters of scalar field potentials which allow a chaotic behaviour are found from numerical investigations. It is argued that analytical studies of equation of motion at the Euclidean boundary can provide an important information about the properties of chaotic dynamics. Several types of transition from chaotic to regular dynamics are described.


Thermal Stability Of Fe_{85.5}B_{14.5} Metallic Glass, Asghari Maqsood, Ashfaq Ahmad Jan 2000

Thermal Stability Of Fe_{85.5}B_{14.5} Metallic Glass, Asghari Maqsood, Ashfaq Ahmad

Turkish Journal of Physics

The thermal stability and crystallization behaviour of metallic glass Fe\( _{85.5} \)B\( _{14.5} \) were investigated by Dynamic Temperature Resistivity Measurement (DTRM) technique from room temperature to 1050K in forward and reverse mode at a heating rate of 40 K/hr. The slope of Resistivity-Temperature-Curve (RTC) changes sign and magnitude at the temperature where the transition takes place. Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) was carried out at the heating rates of 10, 20, 30 \& 40 K/min. A comparison of the results of DTRM and DTA measurements shows that crystallization in this alloy is two-stage process. Activation energy for two crystallization steps …


The Magnetic Super-Exchange Coupling In Copper(Ii) Acetate Monohydrate And A Redetermination Of The Crystal Structure, Ayhan Elmali Jan 2000

The Magnetic Super-Exchange Coupling In Copper(Ii) Acetate Monohydrate And A Redetermination Of The Crystal Structure, Ayhan Elmali

Turkish Journal of Physics

The magnetic properties and redetermination of crystal structure of copper(II) acetate monohydrate have been studied. The copper(II) centers are separated by 2.617(1) \AA \ and antiferromagnetically coupled (-2J = 292.2 cm$^{-1}$), which follows from temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 4.2 to 300 K. The magnetic moment at 300 K is about 2.1 Bohr magnetons while 0.1 Bohr magnetons at 4.2 K. The magnetic susceptibility is at a maximum near 250 K and decreases rapidly as the temperature is lowered to liquid helium temperature.


Antiferromagnetic Transition In \Alpha-Mn-Fe System, R. K. Nkum, F. Boakye Jan 2000

Antiferromagnetic Transition In \Alpha-Mn-Fe System, R. K. Nkum, F. Boakye

Turkish Journal of Physics

Antiferromagnetic transition in $\alpha$-Mn-Fe alloys has been studied using resistivity-temperature measurements from 300 to 1.5 K. The results indicate that the transition temperature $T_N$ of the samples studied increases with increasing Fe concentration. This suggests that the N\'{e}el temperature is affected by Fe. Also, Fe plays a significant role in the local disorder on the magnetic moment of the ions in the complex manganese structure.


Synthesis And Characteristics Of Nickel Manganite By Lithiation, S. V. Salvi, M. R. Parab Jan 2000

Synthesis And Characteristics Of Nickel Manganite By Lithiation, S. V. Salvi, M. R. Parab

Turkish Journal of Physics

Spinel nickel manganite has been synthesized using ceramic technique, from (2MnO$_{2}$+NiO) mixture reduced using LiAlH$_{4}$. Powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) indicates the formation of cubic spinel (a=8.33 A^o), while IR absorption spectral features are rather broad, though similar to those of spinel. The d.c. electrical conductivity of the ceramic is much smaller than that reported for NiMn$_{2}$O$_{4}$. Even though the band gap remains the same, when the sintering temperature is increased from 950^oC to 1100 ^oC, all other changes are insignificant except that the porosity and particle size nearly halve. The characteristics of the system are discussed in terms of `lithiation'.


Devitrification Of Volcanic Glasses In Konya Volcanic Units, Turkey, Zehra Karakaş, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r Jan 2000

Devitrification Of Volcanic Glasses In Konya Volcanic Units, Turkey, Zehra Karakaş, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The study area is composed of volcanic, sedimentary and volcano-sedimentary units, which are exposed south and southwest of the city of Konya. XRD analysis indicates that the volcanic units contain halloysite, kaolinite, smectite, illite and sepiolite type clay minerals and opal-CT, feldspar, quartz, minamiite and jarosite type non-clay minerals. SEM studies show that volcanic glasses, which are the main component of the volcanic units, appeared as curviplanar, vesicular-planar and in highly fractured shapes. Fractures and dissolution voids of the volcanic glasses are generally filled by hexagonal kaolinite, fibrous halloysite and smectite. Mineralogical and micromorphological observations indicate that clay minerals were …

Barrier Heights Of Antimony / And Bismuth / P -Silcon (100) Junctions, A. A. Oberafo, A. Z. Ziriki Jan 2000

Barrier Heights Of Antimony / And Bismuth / P -Silcon (100) Junctions, A. A. Oberafo, A. Z. Ziriki

Turkish Journal of Physics

Junctions were fabricated in vacuum of about $10^{-5}$ Torr by thermal evaporation of Sb or Bi onto chemically etched $p$-type silicon (100) substrates. The electrical properties were studied by current voltage (I-V) measurements. Some of the Sb and Bi junctions were heated-treated for $\frac{1}{2}$ hr at 200 and 150^oC, respectively. The barrier height (BH) was equal to 0.64 eV for both as-deposited and heat-treated Sb junctions, while it was 0.56 and 0.74 eV for as-deposited and heat-treated Bi Junctions, respectively. These observatimons indicate that for Sb junctions, annealing at a temperature of 200^oC resulted only in partial elimination of any …

Turkish Journal of Physics

$A^{III}B^{III}C_2^{VI}$ single crystals were grown by the modified Bridgman-Stockbarger method, a procedure similar to direct freezing in our crystal growth laboratory. $A^{III}B^{III}C_2^{VI}$ compounds are collected into two groups (III. group: TI, Ga, In and VI. group: Se, S, Te): 1. TlGaSe$_2$, TlGaS$_2$ and TlInS$_2$ have layer structure. 2. TlInSe$_2$, TlInTe$_2$ and TlGaTe$_2$ have chained structure. The main reasons such crystals grown with this method is similar to the direct freezing method because 1) quality of crystals is the same as crystals grown by other methods, and 2) growth time of crystals is shorter by about 5-10 days. None of the …

Thickness Dependence Of C/A Polytwin Structures Observed In Epitaxial Oxide Ferroelectric Thin Films, S. Pami̇r Alpay, Alexander L. Roytburd Jan 2000

Thickness Dependence Of C/A Polytwin Structures Observed In Epitaxial Oxide Ferroelectric Thin Films, S. Pami̇r Alpay, Alexander L. Roytburd

Turkish Journal of Physics

Ferroelectric or ferroelastic epitaxial films undergoing a cubic-to-tetragonal phase transformation usually relax the resultant strain energy due to lattice misfit by forming a polytwin (polydomain) structure. Polydomain formation occurs at the expense of building interdomain interfaces and microstresses which develop at the film-substrate interface due to the periodic deviation of the strain. The interplay between these components results in a critical thickness for domain formation below which the polydomain structure is not stable. In this article, we investigate the film thickness dependence of a polydomain structure using a thermodynamical approach.

The Interaction Of The Dipole Moment Of The Water Molecule With The Interface States Of The Cuprous Oxide/Cupric Oxide Junction, Necmi̇ Seri̇n, Tülay Seri̇n, Basri̇ Ünal

Turkish Journal of Physics

An Au/CuO/Cu$_{2}$O/Cu sandwich structure has been obtained by growing successive Cu$_{2}$O and CuO layers on a Cu sheet. A gold metal contact was formed CuO side at pressure of $1\times10^{-6}$ Torr. Current-voltage characteristics and capacitance of the system were seen to change over a great extent due to the presence of humidity. The effect of the humidity on Au/CuO/Cu$_{2}$O/Cu is explored through the effect of water's dipole moment.

Kerr Spinning Particle, A. Burinskii Jan 2000

Kerr Spinning Particle, A. Burinskii

Turkish Journal of Physics

We give a brief review of the problems connected with the model of spinning particle based on the Kerr geometry. We consider peculiarities of the Kerr rotating black hole solution in gravity, supergravity and low energy string theory. A non-trivial supergeneralization of the Kerr-Newman solution to broken N=2 supergravity is considered. \par The problem of source of the Kerr geometry is discussed, and we consider some arguments in favor of the supersymmetric Fermi-ball model for the Kerr source based on the Witten $U(1)\times U(\tilde 1)$ field model for superconducting strings.
