Lightest And Heaviest Two-Neutron Halo Nuclei, $^{6}$He And $^{22}$C, Waleed Hwash

Turkish Journal of Physics

The microscopic cluster model approach has been performed to study the nuclear structure of the lightest and heaviest two-neutron halo nuclei, $^{6}$He and $^{22}$C, respectively. The matter radius and binding energy for the $^{6}$He and $^{22}$C nuclei are calculated and the effect of the core deformation ($^{20}$C) on the properties of $^{22}$C nuclei is also discussed. Calculations have shown that the microscopic cluster model provides a good description of binding energy as well as matter radius in comparison to experimental data. The fittings of some parameters such as central potential depth (V$_{o})$, empirical constant (r$_{o})$, and surface diffuseness value (a) …

Search Of Islands Of Stability For Hypothetical Superheavy Nuclei Using Covariant Density Functional Theory, Hazem Abusara, Shakeb Ahmad

Turkish Journal of Physics

A systematic search for the location of islands of stability has been performed for the proton number $100\le Z\le 220$ and the neutron number $Z+30\le N\le 2Z+30$ using covariant density functional theory (CDFT), a relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) formalism with separable pairing, for two different force parameters, DD-ME2 and NL3*. Locations of the islands of stability are identified by analysis of the two-neutron and two-proton separation energy, two-nucleon shell gaps, vanishing neutron and proton pairing gap, energy surface, and the single particle states. The results show that beyond $^{292}120$ only Z = 154 and N $>$ 220 can be a …

Perturbative Construction Of The Two-Dimensional O(N) Nonlinear Sigma Model With Erg, Beki̇r Can Lütfüoğlu, Hidenori Sonoda

Turkish Journal of Physics

We use the exact renormalization group (ERG) perturbatively to construct the Wilson action for the two-dimensional O(N) nonlinear sigma model (NLSM). The construction amounts to regularization of a nonlinear symmetry with a momentum cutoff. We find out that the model is parameterized by three functions. We show how to tune them by imposing the Ward--Takahashi (WT) identity. We construct two composite operators that generate infinitesimal change of the coupling constant and the renormalization of the scalar fields. Finally we show how the beta functions and the anomalous dimensions arise in the model up to 1-loop.

Identification Of The Hadronic Interaction Layer In A Highly Granular Calorimeter By Multivariate Techniques, Burak Bi̇lki̇

Turkish Journal of Physics

Calorimetry in future and upgrade collider detectors has a clear overall trend towards high granularity, both laterally and longitudinally. This trend is a requirement for the full exploitation of particle flow algorithms, which reconstruct individual particles using the subdetector that provides the best resolution for this specific particle. The increased level of detail in the event topologies due to higher segmentation of the calorimeter provides additional handles for several calorimetric measurements, such as the identification of the hadronic interaction layer, which is not possible for calorimeters with traditional tower geometry. Here, the power of using multivariate statistical techniques in the …

Design Studies For The Beam Position Monitor (Bpm) Front-End Electronics Of The Turkish Accelerator And Radiation Laboratory In Ankara (Tarla), Ayhan Aydin, Ergün Kasap

Turkish Journal of Physics

A beam diagnostics system is vitally important to operate all accelerator-based facilities. The system provides information about beam characteristics and enables requested beam parameters to be achieved. The main parameters, such as beam energy, current, emittance, and beam position, must be diagnosed and controlled during the operation of an accelerator. Beam position monitors (BPMs) are an essential tool for diagnosing a system of accelerators. They are used to define the position of the beam traversing through the beam pipe at relativistic speed. These tools can be used to achieve the required beam quality as well as protecting the entire system …

Enhanced Electro-Optic Modulation Of Linbo$_{3}$-Based Photonic Crystal Cavities With Dual Mode And Polarization Operation, Fulya Bağci, Gökhan Kurt, Bariş Akaoğlu, Ekmel Özbay

Turkish Journal of Physics

A high output transmission and high quality factor, compact LiNbO$_{3}$-based Fabry-Perot-type photonic crystal cavity is reported that can be used in electro-optical modulators at optical communication wavelengths. The electro-optic effect is 123 times enhanced as compared to the bulk material as a result of the slow light effect. The transmission wavelength is found to depend linearly on the applied voltage with 1.2 nm/V modulation sensitivity. Moreover, an externally switchable dual mode regime with high quality factors and transmissions is realized. High transmissions and high quality factors are also obtained for both transverse-electric and transverse-magnetic polarizations simultaneously.

Lime: Semiautomated Line Measurement And Identification From Stellar Spectra, Ti̇mur Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

We present LIME (Line Measurements from ECHELLE Spectra), an IDL-based code, as a powerful tool for semiautomated stellar line measurement and identification. Interactively selected line positions (i.e. wavelengths) are compared with a master line list of the user's selections. Each unknown line that the user interactively chooses is displayed with potential identifications provided by the code in the vicinity of the selected line. The best identification is evaluated on the basis of several criteria (e.g., atomic/molecular line information, wavelength displacement, and theoretical equivalent width for solar atmospheric values). We examined the identifications by LIME in the spectra of post-red supergiant …

Marder Type Universe With Bulk Viscous String Cosmological Model In $F(R,T)$ Gravity, Sezgi̇n Aygün

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, we have investigated homogeneous and anisotropic Marder space-time with bulk viscous string matter distribution in $f(R,T)$ gravity. For this aim we have used the anisotropy feature $(\frac{\sigma_{x}^{x} }{\theta })$ of Marder space-time and a deceleration parameter in two different $f(R,T)$ models. We have obtained bulk viscous matter distribution solutions in $f(R,T)$ gravity. Finally, some kinematical and physical properties are discussed.

Localization Of A Nonlocal Interaction, Ujjwal Laha, Sanjib Kr Das, Jhasaketan Bhoi

Turkish Journal of Physics

A simple method for the localization of a separable nonlocal interaction is formulated in terms of Green's functions and the solutions with regular and irregular boundary conditions. The constructed energy--momentum-dependent local potential with regular boundary condition is real while that for the irregular boundary condition is complex in nature. The phase function method is exploited to compute elastic scattering phases for the nucleon--nucleon and alpha--nucleon systems. Reasonable agreements in scattering phase shifts with experimental data are obtained, particularly, in the low energy range for the systems under consideration. The phase shifts for the imaginary parts of the potentials derived from …

First-Principles Modeling Of Gan/Mose$_{2}$ Van Der Waals Heterobilayer, Celal Yelgel

Turkish Journal of Physics

We investigate structural and electronic properties of the graphene-like gallium nitride (GaN) monolayer deposited on a MoSe$_{2}$ monolayer by using density functional theory with the inclusion of the nonlocal van der Waals correction. The GaN is bound weakly to the MoSe$_{2}$ monolayer with adsorption energy of 49 meV/atom. We find that the heterobilayer is energetically favorable with the interlayer distance of 3.302 {\AA} indicating van der Waals (vdW) type interaction and the most stable stacking configuration is verified with different deposition sequences. The heterostructure of GaN/MoSe$_{2}$ is found to be indirect band gap semiconductor with gap value of 1.371 eV. …

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, we have proposed an optical broadband angular reflector having a band selective feature and high reflectivity rate for photovoltaic implementations by using a photonic crystal structure made of two different dielectric layers. This paper presents new and useful information about a reflector that was designed by using a periodic structure composed of two Si based layers for the visible range in the solar spectrum region. The system has been adjusted in such a way that it could cover a wide wavelength area between the photonic band gaps at nearly λ ≈ 300-800 nm. We have tested the …

Turkish Journal of Physics

This paper reports kinetic analysis on the thermoluminescence (TL) glow peaks of various widespread luminescence dosimeters. A common general order kinetic (GOK) approximation and a relatively recently suggested Lambert W-function equation were used. The activation energies and the order of kinetic parameters are the main subjects of the present study. According to the results of this study, the activation energies of the main dosimetric peaks are estimated as 2.05 $\pm $ 0.11, eV, 1.23 $\pm $ 0.05 eV, and 1.11 $\pm $ 0.06 eV for LiF based dosimeters (TLD100, TLD600, TLD700), Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$:C (TLD500), and BeO dosimeters, respectively. Moreover, a number …

Synthesis Of Ni-Fe Thin Films By Electrochemical Deposition Technique And Characterization Of Their Microstructures And Surface Morphologies, Umut Saraç, Mali̇k Kaya, Mevlana Celaletti̇n Baykul

Turkish Journal of Physics

Microstructural features and surface morphologies of Ni-Fe thin films fabricated by the electrochemical deposition technique have been experimentally studied. Ni-Fe thin films have been deposited under different deposition potentials and FeSO$_{4}$ concentrations. Energy dispersive X-ray measurements demonstrate that the Fe content decreases (increases) as the deposition potential (FeSO$_{4}$ concentration) is enhanced. All of the produced films exhibit an anomalous codeposition behavior. The effects of deposition potential and FeSO$_{4}$ concentrations on the degree of anomalous codeposition have been also characterized. X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the films have face-centered cubic crystallographic structures with [111] preferred crystallographic orientation regardless of the applied …

Analytical Solution Of The Local Fractional Klein-Gordon Equation For Generalized Hulthen Potential, Hasi̇be Hale Karayer, Ahmet Doğan Demi̇rhan, Fevzi̇ Büyükkiliç

Turkish Journal of Physics

The one-dimensional Klein-Gordon (KG) equation is investigated in the domain of conformable fractional calculus for one-dimensional scalar potential, namely generalized Hulthen potential. The conformable fractional calculus is based on conformable fractional derivative, which is the most natural definition in noninteger order calculus. Fractional order differential equations can be solved analytically by means of this derivative operator. We obtained exact eigenvalue and eigenfunction solutions of the local fractional KG equation and investigated the evolution of relativistic effects in correspondence with the fractional order.

The Neotectonics Of Southeast Turkey, Northern Syria, And Iraq: The Internal Structure Of The Southeast Anatolian Wedge And Its Relationship With Recent Earthquakes, Gürol Seyi̇toğlu, Korhan Esat, Bülent Kaypak

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

In southeastern Turkey, northern Syria, and Iraq, the Southeast Anatolian Wedge (SEAW) is recognized as lying between the high altitude Bitlis-Zagros Suture Zone and the Sincar Mountains on the Mesopotamian plain. This wedge narrows towards the south and contains several thrust and blind thrust zones merging with the basal thrust zone. These zones are determined mainly by locations of fault-propagation folding that generally limit the Plio-Quaternary/Quaternary plains in the region. The positions of these active thrust/blind thrust zones and their relationships to the right and left lateral faults may be used to explain the seismic activity of the region.

A Bivariate Sampling Series Involving Mixed Partial Derivatives, Rashad Mudhish Asharabi, Hamoud Al-Haddad

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Recently Fang and Li established a sampling formula that involves only samples from the function and its first partial derivatives for functions from Bernstein space, $B^{p}_{\sigma}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$. In this paper, we derive a general bivariate sampling series for the entire function of two variables that satisfy certain growth conditions. This general bivariate sampling formula involves samples from the function and its mixed and nonmixed partial derivatives. Some known sampling series will be special cases of our formula, like the sampling series of Parzen, Peterson and Middleton, and Gosselin. The truncated series of this formula are used to approximate functions from the …

Ranges And Kernels Of Derivations, Mohamed Ech Chad

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we establish some properties concerning the class of operators $A\in {\cal L(H)}$ that satisfy $\overline{ { \cal R }(\delta_{A})}\cap\{A\}'=\{0\}$, where $\overline{ { \cal R }(\delta_{A})}$ is the norm closure of the range of the inner derivation $\delta_{A},$ defined on ${\cal L(H)}$ by $\delta_{A}(X)=AX-XA$. Here ${\cal H}$ stands for a Hilbert space; as a consequence, we show that the set $\{ A \in { \cal L(H)}\;\;/\;\;\overline{ { \cal R }(\delta_{A})}\cap\{A\}'=\{0\} \}$ is norm-dense. We also describe some classes of operators $A,\;B$ for which we have $\overline{ { \cal R }(\delta_{A,B})}\cap\ker(\delta_{A^{\ast},B^{\ast}})=\{0\}$ ($\ker(\delta_{A^{\ast},B^{\ast}})$ is the kernel of the generalized derivation …

P-Subordination Chains And P-Valence Integral Operators, Erhan Deni̇z, Hali̇t Orhan, Murat Çağlar

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In the present investigation we obtain some sufficient conditions for the analyticity and the $p$-valence of an integral operator in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$. Using these conditions we give some applications for a few different integral operators. The significant relationships and relevance to other results are also given. A number of known univalent conditions would follow upon specializing the parameters involved in our main results.

Cyclic Codes Over $\Mathbb{Z}_{4}+U\Mathbb{Z}_{4}+U^{2}\Mathbb{Z}_{4}$, Mehmet Özen, Nazmi̇ye Tuğba Özzai̇m, Nuh Aydin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study cyclic codes over the ring $R=\mathbb{Z}_{4}+u\mathbb{Z}_{4}+u^{2}\mathbb{Z}_{4}$,where $u^{3}=0$. We investigate Galois extensions of this ring and the ideal structure of these extensions.The results are then used to obtain facts about cyclic codes over $R$. We also determine the general form of the generator of a cyclic code and find its minimal spanning sets. Finally, we obtain many new linear codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$ by considering Gray images of cyclic codes over $R$.

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we establish stability theorems for nonlinear fractional orders systems (FDEs) with Caputo and Riemann--Liouville derivatives. In particular, we derive conditions for $ {\bf \cal{F}}$-stability of nonlinear FDEs. By numerical simulations, we verify numerically our theoretical results on a test example.

Unions And Ideals Of Locally Strongly Porous Sets, Maya Altinok, Oleksiy Dovgoshey, Mehmet Küçükaslan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For subsets of $\mathbb R^+ = [0,∞)$ we introduce a notion of coherently porous sets as the sets for which the upper limit in the definition of porosity at a point is attained along the same sequence. We prove that the union of two strongly porous at $0$ sets is strongly porous if and only if these sets are coherently porous. This result leads to a characteristic property of the intersection of all maximal ideals contained in the family of strongly porous at $0$ subsets of $\mathbb R^+$. It is also shown that the union of a set $A \subseteq …

From The Circle To The Square: Symmetry And Degeneracy In Quantum Mechanics, Dahyeon Lee

Honors Papers

The relationship between degeneracy and symmetry in quantum mechanics is explored using two dimensional infinite potential wells with boundaries |x|^n + |y|^n = an for n = 2, whose limiting cases are circular (n = 2) and square (n ¿ 8) well. Analytic solutions for the circular and square cases are derived from separation of variables. Boundary element method (BEM) is a numerical method that solves PDEs using boundary conditions. The BEM is used to solve potential well problems. The method is first tested by comparing numerical solutions with analytic solutions for the circular and square wells. For the ground …

Artin Presentations And Closed 4-Manifolds, Jun Li

Honors Papers

In this paper we focus on the study of smooth closed simply-connected 4-manifolds. In particular, we study such manifolds arising from Artin presentations. Artin pre- sentations are intimately related to the pure braid group, and they characterize the fundamental groups of closed orientable 3-manifolds. Each Artin presentation r gives rise to a 4-manifold W4(r), whose boundary is a closed orientable 3-manifold M3(r) with fundamental group presented by r. In case the 4-manifold has bound- ary S3, we may close up W 4(r) by attaching a 4-handle to obtain W 4(r) ¿S3 D4. This closed 4-manifold has quadratic form represented by …

Interaction Graphs Derived From Activation Functions And Their Application To Gene Regulation, Simon Joyce

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

Interaction graphs are graphic representations of complex networks of mutually interacting components. Their main application is in the field of gene regulatory networks, where they are used to visualize how the expression levels of genes activate or inhibit the expression levels of other genes.

First we develop a natural transformation of activation functions and their derived interaction graphs, called conjugation, that is related to a natural transformation of signed digraphs called switching isomorphism. This is a useful tool for the analysis of interaction graphs used throughout the rest of the dissertation.

We then discuss the question of what restrictions, if …

A Unique Petroglyph Carving On The Shawangunk Ridge, Lower Hudson Valley, New York, Howard R. Feldman

Lander College for Women - The Anna Ruth and Mark Hasten School Publications and Research

A unique circular petroglyph from the Shawangunk Ridge in the lower Hudson Valley, New York was found carved into the resistant metaconglomerate/quartzitic rock not far from Mohonk Mountain House. The Shawangunk Formation crops out near Rosendale, New York and extends in a general southwestward direction accessible along Route 17 near Wurtsboro, again at the Delaware Water Gap and then can be traced in into Pennsylvania and Virginia. The ridge and surrounding area (e.g. Wallkill Valley) is lacking in chert, a vital raw material used in the carving of petroglyphs (Feldman, et al., 2016). However, there are numerous other examples of …
