Effect Of Nitrogen Incorporation On The Electronic And Optical Properties Of Algaasn/Gaas Quantum Well Lasers, Boualem Merabet, Abdelhadi Lachebi, Hamza Abid

Turkish Journal of Physics

In order to investigate the profound effect of small amounts of nitrogen incorporated into the III-V systems on the fundamental band gap, which decreases dramatically with increasing of N^+ implantation, we present a pseudopotential formalism within the Virtual Crystal Approximation confronted to the Band Anti-crossing model, which parameterizes successfully such behaviour, so as to study the electronic and optical properties of dilute Al_xGa_{1-x}As_{1-y}N_y materials, prepared by implantation of N^+ into epitaxial AlGaAs. Analytical formulas of quantized energy levels in AlGaAsN quantum well (QW) lasers and optical transition wavelengths between subbands are presented and compared to simulations based on our programs.

Turkish Journal of Physics

Electrical resistivity measurements on thermally evaporated Mn_{100-x} Ru_x thin films (with x = 0.05 at.% Ru and x = 2.5 at.% Ru) have been carried out over the temperature range from 300 to 1.4 K. A behaviour typical of the bulk \alpha-Mn has been observed on the film with x = 0.05 at.% Ru. The Néel point of this specimen is established at 90 \pm 1 K which is typical of the bulk. This Néel point is raised to 100 \pm 1 K with x = 2.5 at.% Ru in \alpha-Mn. A relatively long range magnetic ordering was observed with …


Comparing Optical Sensing Using Slab Waveguides And Total Internal Reflection Ellipsometry, Sofyan A. Taya, Taher M. El-Agez Jan 2011

Comparing Optical Sensing Using Slab Waveguides And Total Internal Reflection Ellipsometry, Sofyan A. Taya, Taher M. El-Agez

Turkish Journal of Physics

The sensitivity of the effective refractive index of slab waveguide sensors to variations in the refractive index of the cladding is compared to that of the ellipsometric parameters. The changes of the effective refractive index of a waveguide and the ellipsometric parameter \Delta , due to the index change of the cladding, were derived and plotted as a function of the guiding layer thickness and with the index of the cladding. It is found that these changes almost have the same overall feature but the ellipsometric parameters showed considerable higher sensitivity than the effective index of the conventional waveguide optical …

Dynamical Behavior Of Traveling Wave Solutions For The K(2,2) Equation, Lina Zhang

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, we discuss the qualitative behavior of degenerate singular points for the K(2,2) equation. By analyzing the different dynamical behaviors of the singular system and its associated regular system, we come to the conclusion that for the singular system the smoothness property of its orbits, which have intersection point(s) with the singular straight line, will not be destroyed. Meanwhile, the corresponding smooth traveling wave solutions for the K(2,2) equation are obtained.

2n-Dimensional At Fujii Model Instanton-Like Solutions And Coupling Constant's Role Between Instantons With Higher Derivatives, Mehmet Keçeci̇

Turkish Journal of Physics

An instanton-like solution is considered for a class of two-dimensional conformal model with Liouville term. The model expressed here is a new higher-dimensional model with scalar-spinor interaction on even-dimensional spaces, and is a generalization of the even-dimensional Fujii model. A recurrence relation for the Fujii model and coupling constant's indices between relations with interaction constant is extracted. The behavior of Gürsey, Akdeniz-Smailagi' c and Fujii coupling constants in 4-dimensional conformal models are examined.

Delta Excitation Calculation Studies In The Ground State Of The Compressed Finite Heavy Doubly-Magic Nucleus ^{100}Sn, Mohammed Hassen Eid Abu-Sei'leek

Turkish Journal of Physics

The energies and matter densities of finite nuclei under radial compression are investigated by using a constrained Hartree-Fock method with the \Delta degree of freedom included. The results are presented for the doubly-magic nucleus ^{100}Sn in an effective baryon-baryon interaction. It is found that as the nucleus is compressed to about three time of the ordinary nuclear density, the \Delta component is sharply increased to about 17% of all baryons in the system. This result is consistent with the values extracted from relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The single particle energy levels calculated and their behaviors under compression examined too. A good …

Molecular Interaction Studies In Binary Mixtures Containing Aniline, Toluene And N-Butanol, Palaniappan Lakshmanan, Mahendran Govindasamy

Turkish Journal of Physics

Ultrasonic velocity and density values have been measured at 303 K in binary mixtures containing aniline, toluene and n-butanol; and the thermodynamical approach is applied to evaluate the mixtures' molar volume, adiabatic compressibility, intermolecular free length and excess values. The observed results are interpreted in terms of molecular interaction between the components of the mixtures. Observed excess values and their fittings of R-K type equations lend further support to the observation made in the binary system.

Turkish Journal of Physics

Fe^{3+} doped CdS nanoparticles using Mercaptoethanol as a capping agent were prepared by colloidal wet-chemical method. UV-VIS spectra show that Fe-doping can effectively tune energy band structure, i.e. a large blue shift (\sim 30 nm) with increasing Fe concentration. PL measurement of doped CdS nanoparticles shows an additional emission band at \sim 532 nm, which can be due to radiative transition of dopant level to ground state. X-ray diffraction patterns studies revealed cubic crystal phase. TEM micrographs show a spherical shape and nearly well distribution with an average particle size of \sim 4 nm.

Effective Size And Expansion Energy Of A Bose-Einstein Condensate In A 3d Non-Cubic Optical Lattice, Shemi S. M. Soliman Jan 2011

Effective Size And Expansion Energy Of A Bose-Einstein Condensate In A 3d Non-Cubic Optical Lattice, Shemi S. M. Soliman

Turkish Journal of Physics

This work is devoted to study the temperature dependence of the effective size and expansion energy E_{x,z} of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a 3D non-cubic optical lattice. Correction due to the finite size, interatomic interaction and the deepness of the lattice potential are given simultaneously. The calculated results show that these two parameters increase with the lattice depth or the relative frequency at temperature less than the transition temperature, (T < T_o); yet it has little effect at temperatures higher than the transition temperature (T > T_o). Both the effective size and expansion energy follow a characteristic temperature dependence, i.e. , E \propto(T/T_0)^4 if T < T_0 and , E \propto (T/T_0) if T > T_0. For a 3D non cubic optical potential the effect of …

Influence Of Doping And Heat Treatments On Carriers Mobility In Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Films For Photovoltaic Application, Beddiaf Zaidi, Bouzid Hadjoudja, Houda Felfli, Allaoua Chibani Jan 2011

Influence Of Doping And Heat Treatments On Carriers Mobility In Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Films For Photovoltaic Application, Beddiaf Zaidi, Bouzid Hadjoudja, Houda Felfli, Allaoua Chibani

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work, we investigate the influence of doping as well as heat treatments on the mobility of the carriers in polycrystalline silicon layers. It was found that any increase in both parameters leads to an increase in the mobility of the carriers. Such mobilities were shown to be higher in boron doped layers that those doped with arsenic. Moreover, for strong arsenic doping, after the initial increase, we observed a saturation region followed by a final decrease of carrier mobility.

Turkish Journal of Physics

The structural and optical properties of CdTe thin films prepared at a low substrate temperature were investigated before and after the CdCl_2/annealing. The crystal structure of CdTe film was cubic with a strong (111) preferential orientation. Annealing at 400 °C without CdCl_2 treatment results in a decrease in the (111) peak intensity while the intensities of the (220), (311) and (331) peaks appeared, indicating that the texture is significantly changed. However, after the CdCl_2/annealing, the film exhibited a hexagonal phase as a dominant structure. The scanning electron microscopy patterns showed that the as-deposited and annealed samples had almost the same …
