Tunneling-Enhanced Recombination In Polycrystalline Cds/Cdte Solar Cells, Habi̇be Bayhan Jan 2006

Tunneling-Enhanced Recombination In Polycrystalline Cds/Cdte Solar Cells, Habi̇be Bayhan

Turkish Journal of Physics

The dominant dark current transport mechanism in as-grown and CdCl_2 processed CdS/CdTe heterojunction solar cells for temperatures below 300~K was investigated. The current-voltage properties of these solar cells is explained via tunnelling enhanced bulk and interface recombination models which give a quantitative description of the electronic loss mechanisms in the chalcopyrite-based heterojunction solar cells. The temperature dependence of the saturation current and the diode ideality factors of the as-grown and CdCl_2 processed CdTe solar cells are shown to be well described by this model.


Cherenkov Radiation In Homogeneous Isotropic Chiral Media, Pierre Hillion Jan 2006

Cherenkov Radiation In Homogeneous Isotropic Chiral Media, Pierre Hillion

Turkish Journal of Physics

We present a Fourier transform analysis of Cherenkov radiation for a point charge uniformly moving inside a 2D-homogeneous, isotropic, unbounded, chiral medium endowed with the Drude-Born-Fedorov constitutive relations when the chirality parameter ß and the wave number k make negligible the ß^2k^2 terms. The electromagnetic field is not described in terms of circularly right and left polarized waves but in terms of TM and TE components. The Cherenkov radiation arises when the velocity v of the point charge is greater than the phase velocity c/n, where n is the refractive index of the chiral medium and the electromagnetic field stands …

Ensemble Teleportation, Thomas Krüger Jan 2006

Ensemble Teleportation, Thomas Krüger

Turkish Journal of Physics

The possibility of teleportation is by sure the most interesting consequence of quantum non-separability. So far, however, teleportation schemes have been formulated by use of state vectors and considering individual entities only. In the present article the feasibility of teleportation is examined on the basis of the rigorous ensemble interpretation of quantum mechanics (not to be confused with a mere treatment of noisy EPR pairs) leading to results which are unexpected from the usual point of view.

Phase Distribution Of The Output Of Jaynes-Cummings Model With The Superposition Of Squeezed Displaced Fock States, Gamal Mohamed Abd Al-Kader Jan 2006

Phase Distribution Of The Output Of Jaynes-Cummings Model With The Superposition Of Squeezed Displaced Fock States, Gamal Mohamed Abd Al-Kader

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Wigner quasi-probability function for the superposition of squeezed displaced Fock states (SDFS's) is reviewed. The interaction of these states with a two-level atom in cavity with the presence of additional Kerr medium is studied. Exact general matrix elements of the time-dependent operators of a Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), in the presence of a Kerr medium, with these states are derived. We have obtained the phase distribution by two different ways: one is by Pegg-Barnett formalism, the second is by integration of the Wigner function over the radial variable. Results of these two approaches are compared. The Wigner phase distributions for …


Modulated Photoconductivity Studies Of A-As_2se_3 Thin Films, Ruhi̇ Kaplan Jan 2006

Modulated Photoconductivity Studies Of A-As_2se_3 Thin Films, Ruhi̇ Kaplan

Turkish Journal of Physics

Modulated photocurrent measurements in amorphous arsenic triselenide (a-As_2Se_3) is reported. Particular focus is paid towards photocarrier lifetimes as a function of temperature, and applied electric field (i.e. dc) were determined by using the quadrature frequency-resolved spectroscopy method. The activation energy from the photocurrent as a function of temperature was determined to be about 125 meV for a constant illumination intensity of 2.3 mW. Its value was found to be almost independent of the applied electric field. The exponent \nu in the power law relationship (I_{ph} \propto G^v) between generating flux and photocurrent was obtained under different electric fields. The electric …


Electrical Switching Behaviour In Lead Phosphovanadate Glasses, B. Sujatha, C. Narayana Reddy Jan 2006

Electrical Switching Behaviour In Lead Phosphovanadate Glasses, B. Sujatha, C. Narayana Reddy

Turkish Journal of Physics

Electrical switching behaviour of lead phosphovanadate glasses were studied by determining the current-voltage characteristics. All the investigated glasses exhibit the dependence of threshold voltages on temperature, thickness and composition. Below holding current the I - V characteristics obey Ohms law followed by a negative resistance region where the bulk behaviour dominates and at higher values of current the samples goes to a low resistance state. The studied glasses exhibit memory type switching. It is suggested that the initial switching and channel formation are due to electronic, while thermal effects dominate in the formation of channels.


Equivariant Localization For Susy Quantum Mechanics, Levent Akant Jan 2006

Equivariant Localization For Susy Quantum Mechanics, Levent Akant

Turkish Journal of Physics

We apply equivariant localization to supersymmetric quantum mechanics and show that the partition function localizes on the instantons of the theory. Our construction of equivariant cohomology for SUSY quantum mechanics is different than the ones that already exist in the literature. A hidden bosonic symmetry is made explicit and the supersymmetry is extended. New bosonic symmetry is the square of the new fermionic symmetry. The D term is now the parameter of the bosonic symmetry. This construction provides us with an equivariant complex together with a Cartan differential and makes the use of localization principle possible.

Profiling Of Lithium And Potassium Into Silicon, Ali M. Mousa Jan 2006

Profiling Of Lithium And Potassium Into Silicon, Ali M. Mousa

Turkish Journal of Physics

The profiling of Lithium and Potassium into Silicon doped by electro deposition from molten salts (LiBr, KI) has been studied for various time periods and deposition currents. For the samples studied, changes in the deposition time and current have significant effects on the conductivity type and sheet resistance variation. This has been attributed to the high value of solid solubility of Lithium and Potassium in Silicon. Additionally, surface concentration variation with depth is affected significantly by variation in deposition time, particular for samples with a deposition time of 7 minutes. A junction was found 156 microns from the surface. For …

Computational Studies On Mechanical Properties Of Carbon Nanotori, Tahi̇r Çağin, Guanghua Gao, William A. Goddard Iii

Turkish Journal of Physics

Carbon has diverse structures, especially (0-dimensional) fullerenes, (1-dimensional) tubes have generated great interest among scientists and technologists. Studies of the structures and properties of these low dimensional carbon molecules show tremendous potential for use in nanoscale device applications. Motivated by these exciting possibilities in finding new forms of carbon materials and their potential applications, we have designed hypothetical single wall carbon nano-toroids. Carbon toroids are also ideal in studying the elastic and plastic deformation behavior of nanotubes under bending loads. We can accurately correlate the behavior of the tubes to its uniform curvature. In this particular work we focused on …


Helicity Dependence Of The \Vec\Gamma\Vec N \To \Pi N Reaction Channels In The \Delta-Resonance Region, Eed M. Darwish, Mohamed A. El-Zohry Jan 2006

Helicity Dependence Of The \Vec\Gamma\Vec N \To \Pi N Reaction Channels In The \Delta-Resonance Region, Eed M. Darwish, Mohamed A. El-Zohry

Turkish Journal of Physics

Based on a prior effective Lagrangian model on single pion photoproduction from the nucleon, successfully tested in total and differential cross sections, the helicity dependence from the interaction of circularly polarized photons and a longitudinally polarized nucleon target is studied in the energy range from \pi-threshold through the \Delta(1232)-resonance region. The doubly polarized total and differential cross section differences for parallel \sigma^{3/2} and antiparallel \sigma^{1/2} helicity states are predicted and compared with recent experimental data. We show that the results are sensitive to interferences among different contributions to the process and, thus, represent a complementary test of the theoretical model. …


The Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity, Muzaffer Adak Jan 2006

The Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity, Muzaffer Adak

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study symmetric teleparallel (STP) gravity model, in which only spacetime non-metricity is nonzero. First we obtain STP equivalent Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian and give an approach for a generic solution in terms of only metric tensor. Then we obtain a spherically symmetric static solution to the Einstein's equation in STP space-time and discuss the singularities. Finally, we study a model given by a Lagrangian 4-form quadratic in non-metricity. Thus, we seek Schwarzschild-type solutions because of its observational success and obtain some sets of solutions. Finally, we discuss physical relevance of the solutions.

The Calculations Of Oscillator Strengths And Transition Probabilities For Atomic Fluorine, Gülteki̇n Çeli̇k, H. Şükür Kiliç, Erhan Akin

Turkish Journal of Physics

Oscillator strengths for transitions between individual lines belonging to some doublet and quartet terms, and multiplet transition probabilities of atomic fluorine have been calculated using weakest bound electron potential model theory (WBEPMT). In the determination of relevant parameters, we employed numerical non-relativistic Hartree-Fock (NRHF) wave functions for expectation values of radii and the necessary energy values have been taken from experimental energy data in the literature. Oscillator strengths and transition probabilities obtained in this work have been compared to experimental and theoretical values given in the literature.


The Investigation Of Screening Of Chromoelectric And Chromomagnetic Fields In Noncovariant Gauges, Elşen Veli̇, Jale Yilmazkaya Süngü Jan 2006

The Investigation Of Screening Of Chromoelectric And Chromomagnetic Fields In Noncovariant Gauges, Elşen Veli̇, Jale Yilmazkaya Süngü

Turkish Journal of Physics

According to Thermal Quantum Chromodynamics (TQCD) hadron matter may exist in the form of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at high temperatures and densities. The aim of the present work is to investigate the screening of chromoelectric and chromomagnetic fields in QGP in noncovariant gauges. In noncovariant gauges, gluon propagator has unphysical poles and singularities appear in the gluon self-energy diagram calculations. In this paper, we investigate gluon self-energy in lightcone and temporal gauges. In order to remove singularities, we use the Mandelstam-Leibbrandt prescription (ML prescription). We obtain that chromoelectric fields are screened, but chromomagnetic fields are not screened. In coordinate space, …

Study Of Causal Component Placement In An Active Sound Cancellation System, Eileen Anderson, Andrew B. Wright Jan 2006

Study Of Causal Component Placement In An Active Sound Cancellation System, Eileen Anderson, Andrew B. Wright

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

In a feedforward Active Sound Cancellation (ASC) system, the acoustic delay between a primary source and an error microphone must be greater than the delay between the measurement of that source by the reference microphone and the arrival of the secondary source's wave at the error microphone. Such a configuration is called a causal configuration. For periodic disturbances, cancellation can still be achieved in non-causal configuration. Since the waveform is periodic, each cycle of the waveform is identical, and the cycle being canceled is not the measured part of the waveform, but a subsequent cycle in the waveform. Non-periodic sources …
