Optical Pulse Distortion In Fibonacci-Class Multilayer Stacks, A Rostami, S. Matloub Jan 2006

Optical Pulse Distortion In Fibonacci-Class Multilayer Stacks, A Rostami, S. Matloub

Turkish Journal of Physics

Optical pulse distortion and propagation through quasi-periodic structures generally and especially for Fibonacci-class, is investigated analytically and simulated numerically. In this analysis, the transfer matrix method (TMM) for distortion evaluation is used. The simulated results for Fibonacci-class quasi-periodic structures and pure periodic multilayer stacks are compared. We show that the Fibonacci-class quasi-periodic structure has a large dispersion coefficient with respect to a similar case in the periodic structure. So, quasi-periodic structures will destroy the incident pulse shape for smaller stack length than a periodic case in a similar situation. Finally, using output power, the distortion limit can be estimated and …

A new experimental value, M = 0.06925 \pm 0.00281, of the peak of the quadrupole form factor F_Q(q) is obtained by fitting the straight line relation found between the peak values of both T_{21}(q) and F_Q(q).


Transient Photoconductivity In Amorphous Se-Ge-Ag System, R. S. Sharma, D. Kumar, A. Kumar Jan 2006

Transient Photoconductivity In Amorphous Se-Ge-Ag System, R. S. Sharma, D. Kumar, A. Kumar

Turkish Journal of Physics

Transient Photoconductivity measurements have been made in vacuum evaporated thin films of Se_{0.80 - x}Ge_{0.20}Ag_x at different intensities, temperatures and illumination times. The films exhibit long-lived residual photoconductivity, called persistent photoconductivity, with an extremely slow decay rate. The persistent photoconductivity (PPC) increases with an increase in intensity and illumination time. However, this quantity decreases with increase in temperature. These results indicate that the decay of photoconductivity is not only governed by the carrier trapped in the intrinsic defects but also gets affected by the light induced defect creation through structural changes The persistent photoconductivity effect is found to be suppressed …

Stagnation Point Flow And Heat Transfer Of A Micropolar Fluid In A Porous Medium, Hazem Ali Attia

Turkish Journal of Physics

The steady laminar flow in a porous medium of an incompressible non-Newtonian micropolar fluid impinging on a permeable flat plate with heat transfer is investigated. A numerical solution for the governing nonlinear momentum and energy equations is obtained. The effect of the porosity of the medium and the characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluid on both the flow and heat transfer is presented and discussed.


Dimensional Crossover In Semiconductor Structures: From 3d Electron Transport To Ballistic Electrons In 1d, Karl-Fredrick Berggren Jan 2006

Dimensional Crossover In Semiconductor Structures: From 3d Electron Transport To Ballistic Electrons In 1d, Karl-Fredrick Berggren

Turkish Journal of Physics

Modern semiconductor technologies have made possible special devices in which a gradual dimensional crossover may be induced by means of applied electric fields. Two specific examples are described. The first one is a special GaAs field effect transistor in which the thickness of the active electron gas layer may be varied by external voltages. With decreasing layer thickness transverse states become quantized and by depopulating the corresponding subbands a tunable dimensional crossover from 3D to 2D is achieved. The second example describes how a 2D to 1D crossover may be obtained in high-mobility split-gate GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. Effects of interactions in …


Self-Assembled Nano-Structures On The Icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn Quasicrystal, Mehmet Erbudak, Jean-Nicolas Longchamp, Yves Weisskopf Jan 2006

Self-Assembled Nano-Structures On The Icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn Quasicrystal, Mehmet Erbudak, Jean-Nicolas Longchamp, Yves Weisskopf

Turkish Journal of Physics

A quasicrystal is a solid with an aperiodic atomic distribution, but displaying discrete diffraction pattern. At an interface where an ordinary crystal and a quasicrystal intersect, the lack of commensurability between the structures leads to misfits on atomic scale resulting in a wealth of novelties. Here, we present experimental observations on three essentially different cases: Al, Fe, and Si ultra-thin layers grown in vacuum on the pentagonal surface of an icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal. In all three cases, the growing layer decays into nm-size islands. Al is the major alloy component of the substrate material and provides a natural tool to …


A Molecular Dynamics Study Of The Static Structure, Thermodynamic And Transport Properties Of Liquid Iron Using The Modified Analytic Embedded Atom Method, Serap Şentürk Dalgiç, İbrahi̇m Koçoğlu Jan 2006

A Molecular Dynamics Study Of The Static Structure, Thermodynamic And Transport Properties Of Liquid Iron Using The Modified Analytic Embedded Atom Method, Serap Şentürk Dalgiç, İbrahi̇m Koçoğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

Using the modified analytic embedded atom method (MAEAM), we have carried out molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to compute structure,thermodynamic and transport properties of liquid iron. The Foiles type effective pair potential based on the MAEAM potential functions proposed by Quyang and co-workers are shown to predict the pair distribution function well near its melting. The calculated thermodynamic properties such as, the internal energy, Helmholtz free energy and entropy are in a good agreement with experimental data. The results for the computed self-diffusion coefficients are in reasonable agreement with experiments and other works.


Self-Diffusion Coefficients In Liquid Ag Using The Embedded Atom Model Based Effective Pair Potentials, Seyfetti̇n Dalgiç, Mutlu Çolakoğullari Jan 2006

Self-Diffusion Coefficients In Liquid Ag Using The Embedded Atom Model Based Effective Pair Potentials, Seyfetti̇n Dalgiç, Mutlu Çolakoğullari

Turkish Journal of Physics

We present the dynamical properties of liquid Ag at different temperatures, using the Mishin and Doyoma-Kagure version of the Embedded Atom Model (EAM) potentials. They have been evaluated within the framework of the mode-coupling theory, using a self-consistent scheme that uses as input data only the static structure functions and the interatomic pair potentials of the liquid Ag. We have computed single-particle and collective time dependent properties of liquid Ag, and thereby calculated its self-diffusion constants. We have also discussed our results comparing with both experimental data and results of molecular dynamic simulation.

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 …


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 …

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.


Non-Commutative And Non-Anticommutative Supersymmetric U(1) Gauge Theories, Kayhan Ülker Jan 2006

Non-Commutative And Non-Anticommutative Supersymmetric U(1) Gauge Theories, Kayhan Ülker

Turkish Journal of Physics

We introduce a parent action for component fields of N=1 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory in four dimensions which generates both the original and the (s-) dual supersymmetric actions. By using the noncommutative and nonanticommutative deformations of this theory we propose the corresponding parent actions as generalizations of the ordinary case. We then show that duality symmetry under the interchange of fields with duals accompanied by the replacement of the noncommutativity and nonanticommutativity parameters in a suitable way.

Hamilton-Jacobi Formulation Of Siegel Superparticle, N. I. Farahat, Hanaa A. Elegla

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Hamilton-Jacobi formalism of constrained systems is used to study Siegel superparticles moving in R^{4 mid 4} flat superspace. The equations of motion for a singular system are obtained as total differential equations in many variables. These equations of motion are in exact agreement with those obtained by Dirac's method.

Numerical simulation based on FP-LAPW calculations is applied to study the lattice parameters, bulk modulus and band gap energy of zinc blende binaries AlN, GaN and InN under hydrostatic pressure. The results obtained are in a good agreement with experimental and theoretical values.


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.

On Reduced And Semicommutative Modules, Muhi̇tti̇n Başer, Nazim Agayev Jan 2006

On Reduced And Semicommutative Modules, Muhi̇tti̇n Başer, Nazim Agayev

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, various results of reduced and semicommutative rings are extended to reduced and semicommutative modules. In particular, we show: (1) For a principally quasi-Baer module, M_R is semicommutative if and only if M_R is reduced. (2) If M_R is a p.p.-module then M_R is nonsingular.

Rheology Of Polyaniline Dispersions In Acrylic Resin, Nicoleta Plesu, Smaranda Iliescu, Gheorghe Ilia, Adriana Popa, Cornelia Muntean

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Acrylic dispersions based on polyaniline were obtained and characterised. The polyaniline was obtained by chemical polymerisation of aniline in different organic acid containing phosphorous, in the presence of ammonium-peroxidisulphate as oxidant agent. The blends were obtained by mechanical dispersion of polyaniline in commercially available acrylic resin. The flow behaviour of these dispersions at different shear rates was studied. Furthermore, the resulting acrylic dispersions were analysed by IR spectroscopy, and were characterised in terms of their electrical resistance and rheological behaviour

A Miocene Palaeovalley Network In The Western Taurus (Turkey), Olivier Monod, Catherina Kuzucuoğlu, Aral İ. Okay Jan 2006

A Miocene Palaeovalley Network In The Western Taurus (Turkey), Olivier Monod, Catherina Kuzucuoğlu, Aral İ. Okay

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Lower Miocene conglomerates in the Köprü and Manavgat basins contain pebbles that can be confidently traced back to their source areas, owing to their distinctive lithologies. Among others, are the green Huğlu volcanics (Late Trias), known only in allochthonous units from the Beyşehir region, or the Alanya blueschists, restricted to the Sugözü unit in the Alanya Massif. The problem is to find out how this detrital material could have travelled about eighty kilometres through the Taurus calcareous units during the Miocene. Fortunately, the present drainage system is not yet fully reorganised in the Taurus, and large areas of the chain …


Preparation And Characterization Of An Aromatic Polyimide And Its Use As A Selective Membrane For H_2o_2, Ergun Eki̇nci̇, Süleyman Köytepe, Azi̇z Paşahan, Turgay Seçki̇n Jan 2006

Preparation And Characterization Of An Aromatic Polyimide And Its Use As A Selective Membrane For H_2o_2, Ergun Eki̇nci̇, Süleyman Köytepe, Azi̇z Paşahan, Turgay Seçki̇n

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Selectivity behavior to electroactive and non-electroactive substances of a polyimide prepared from 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl and the corresponding dianhydride was examined by electrochemical methods. From the excellent electrochemical findings obtained, it was observed that polyimide film was only permeable to hydrogen peroxide among the substances examined. Therefore, it is claimed that the mentioned polymeric film can be successfully used as a hydrogen peroxide-selective membrane in the presence of electroactive and non-electroactive interferents.


Volcanism And Its Contribution To Mudrock Genesis, Warren Huff Jan 2006

Volcanism And Its Contribution To Mudrock Genesis, Warren Huff

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Explosive eruptions from volcanoes are recorded in the stratigraphic record throughout the Phanerozoic. The most visible evidence of these eruptions is generally in the form of preserved tephra layers, and they appear to be concentrated in the stratigraphic record at times of active plate collision and concomitant high stands of sea level. The products of volcanic eruptions are lavas, tephra and gases, and whereas low-silica, anhydrous basaltic magmas are usually erupted in the form of lava flows high-silica, hydrous rhyolitic magmas are commonly explosively erupted as plinian and ultraplinian plumes, and associated pyroclastic flows. Fallout tephras may be preserved in …

3d-Architecture And Neogene Evolution Of The Malatya Basin: Inferences For The Kinematics Of The Malatya And Ovacık Fault Zones, Nuretdi̇n Kaymakçi, Murat İnceöz, Pinar Ertepinar

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The 3D-architecture of the Malatya Basin was studied using remote sensing, seismic interpretation, and palaeostress analysis in the context of the Malatya-Ovacık fault zone. The results indicate that the Ovacık and Malatya fault zones are not different segments of a single 'so called' Malatya-Ovacık fault zone; rather, they are two different fault zones that have operated independently. In addition, the Ovacık fault zone is delimited in the west by the Malatya fault zone, which extends farther north from the point of supposed junction. Maximum individual deflection of streams along the Ovacık fault zone is about 9.3 km, and summation of …
