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 …


Electronic And Lattice Thermal Conductivity Of Bi_{1-X} Sb_X And Ag-Sb-Te Systems, Sabi̇r Ali̇yev, Agami̇rza Movsum-Zadeh, Sadiyar Ragimov, Eldar Zulfigarov Jan 1999

Electronic And Lattice Thermal Conductivity Of Bi_{1-X} Sb_X And Ag-Sb-Te Systems, Sabi̇r Ali̇yev, Agami̇rza Movsum-Zadeh, Sadiyar Ragimov, Eldar Zulfigarov

Turkish Journal of Physics

An investigation of the electronic (\aleph_e) and lattice (\aleph_L) parts of the thermal conductivity for samples of Bi_{1-x} Sb_x (0,02 < X < 0,12) and system of Ag-Sb-Te was carried out in the temperature interval 6-300K. Separation of \aleph_L and \aleph_e has been made by suppressing \aleph_e in magnetic field. The experimental data of \aleph_L and \aleph_e have been compared, respectively, with Gallaway's theory and with a theory which takes into account the inelastic character of scattering. It is observed that the Lorentz number L calculated by using the experimental values of \aleph_e and thermomagnetic coefficients is smaller than its Zommerfeld's value L_0 in high doping Bi_{0.88}Sb_{0.12}. A satisfactory agreement between the theory and the experiment allows to conclude that besides the normal and U-processes in Bi_{1-x}Sb_x the defects of mass also plays a considerable role in scattering. It is observed that \aleph_L of single phase samples Ag_{0.82}Sb_{1.18}Te_{2.18} is smaller than AgSbTe_2 samples. It is shown that this is due to the presence of p-Ag_2 Te in AgSbTe_2. It is established that the high concentration of intrinsic defects plays a considerable role in scattering for Ag-Sb-Te as well.

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.

Electrochemical Reduction Of Methyl Cinnamate In The Presence Of 1,3-Bis(4-Methyl Phenylsulphonyloxy)Propane, Mustafa Güllü Jan 1999

Electrochemical Reduction Of Methyl Cinnamate In The Presence Of 1,3-Bis(4-Methyl Phenylsulphonyloxy)Propane, Mustafa Güllü

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Electrochemical reduction of methyl cinnamate in the presence of a dielectrophile, such as 1,3-bis(4-methyl phenylsulphonyloxy)propane gives two major products: trans- (\pm) methyl 2-phenylcyclopentanecarboxylate and trans- (\pm) methyl 2,3-diphenyl-5-oxo-cyclopentanecarboxylate. The ratio of products basically depends on the electrolysis conditions.


Autocatalytic Reduction Of Dichloro 5, 10, 15, 20 Tetraphenylporphinatoplatinum(Iv) By 1-Methylimidazole, F. Ece Bulak Jan 1999

Autocatalytic Reduction Of Dichloro 5, 10, 15, 20 Tetraphenylporphinatoplatinum(Iv) By 1-Methylimidazole, F. Ece Bulak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

It was observed that in toluene solution, excess 1-methyl-imidazole (Melm) reduces dichloro 5, 10, 15, 20 tetraphenyl-porphinatoplatinum(IV) (PtTPPCl_2) to tetraphenylporphinato-platinum(II) (PtTPP) autocatalytically (Fig. 1). There was no Pt(III) intermediate or 1-methylimidazole radical detected by Electron Resonance Spectroscopy (ESR) at 25°C. The reaction was found to be autocatalyzed by the PtTPP product when the 1-methylimidazole to PtTPPCl_2 concentration ratio is about 10^4 or more. From the data obtained it is reasonable to suppose that aggregation of the PtTPP product with PtTPPCl_2 plays an important role in this reduction process.


Nonextensivity And Quantum Groups, Metin Arik Jan 1999

Nonextensivity And Quantum Groups, Metin Arik

Turkish Journal of Physics

Classical set theory is nonextensive since the mathematical definition of a set excludes the possibility that more than one copy of the same element can be in a set. We show that the description of random sets in terms of an algebra of creation operators and their hermitean conjugates yields an interpretation of the unitary quantum group SU_q(d) as the symmetry associated with the construction of d random sets from a given source set of M=(1-q)^{-1} elements.

Weak Localization In Disordered Two-Dimensional Crystals With Half-Filled Band, E.P. Nakhmedov, T. Kaya Jan 1999

Weak Localization In Disordered Two-Dimensional Crystals With Half-Filled Band, E.P. Nakhmedov, T. Kaya

Turkish Journal of Physics

Effect of subtitutional impurities on electron localization in two dimensional (2D) lattice near the middle of the band is studied. Calculation of density of the electronic states, \rho (\varepsilon ), increases logaritmically in the middle of the band. This singularity in the density of states of noninteracting electron gas on lattice gives rise to anomalous dependencies of thermodynamic quantities on the temperature. The quantum correction to the conductivity of a nonintreracting electron gas due to Umklapp electron--impurity scattering is calculated. This correction to the conductivity is shown to compete with that from the localization corrrection for a Normal scattering process. …


Angular Momentum Evolution In Close Late-Type Binaries, Carla Maceroni Jan 1999

Angular Momentum Evolution In Close Late-Type Binaries, Carla Maceroni

Turkish Journal of Physics

Accurate monitoring of the orbital period of late-type close binaries can provide important information on their secular evolution and on the structural changes of their components on very short timescales (i.e. decades). The orbital period turns out to be a powerful tool of investigation: it can be measured to great accuracy even with simple equipments and its change produces an easily detectable cumulative effect over time. This paper focuses on two physical mechanisms that cause orbital periods changes in late type binaries with negligible mass loss from the system: the dynamical evolution due to magnetic braking in tidally locked systems, …


The Experimental Studies On Zr Photoelectron Spectra, I. Buribayev, N. A. Nurmatov, N. Talipov Jan 1999

The Experimental Studies On Zr Photoelectron Spectra, I. Buribayev, N. A. Nurmatov, N. Talipov

Improvement In Electroabsorption And The Effect Of The Electric Field In The Tuneable Wavelength Converter, Hüseyi̇n Sari, Esi̇n Kasapoğlu, Yüksel Ergün, İsmai̇l Sökmen

Turkish Journal of Physics

The numerical results of the study of a novel wavelength converter which can be tuned with the application of an external field are presented. For this device, exciton binding energies, radiuses and the absorption coefficient are numerically analysed as a function of electric field. We showed that the interband transition energy and the overlap function between electron and hole changes abruptly when an electric field is applied. This phenomenon can be used the increase the change in the absorption coefficient and reduce the on-state transmission loss in electroabsorption modulators.

Electrodynamics With Toroid Polarization, V. M. Dubovik, B. H. Saha Jan 1999

Electrodynamics With Toroid Polarization, V. M. Dubovik, B. H. Saha

Turkish Journal of Physics

A modified system of equations of electrodynamics of continuous media has been obtained. Beside the Lagrangian system an alternative gauge-like formalism has been developed to introduce the toroid moment contributions in the obtained equations. The two potential formalism that was worked out by us earlier has been developed further where along with the two vector potentials we introduce two scalar potentials thus taking into account all four basic equations of electromagnetism.


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.
