Upper Cretaceous Eclogite-Facies Metamorphic Rocks From The Biga Peninsula, Northwest Turkey, Aral İ. Okay, Muharrem Satir

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Medium-grade metamorphic rocks crop out over a large area under the Neogene sedimentary and volcanic rocks in the central Biga Peninsula in northwest Turkey. These Çamlıca metamorphics consist dominantly of quartz-micaschists with minor calc-schist, marble, quartzite and metabasite. Some of the metabasites in the Çamlıca metamorphics preserve an early eclogite-facies mineral assemblage of garnet + omphacite + glaucophane + rutile ± paragonite, strongly overprinted by greenschist-facies mineral assemblages. The conditions of the eclogite-facies metamorphism have been determined as 510 ± 50°C temperatures and a minimum pressure of 11 kbar, based on the garnet-clinopyroxene Fe-Mg partitioning and the jadeite content of …

Effects Of Disorder On The Drag Rate In Double Quantum-Wire Systems, B. Tanatar Jan 2000

Effects Of Disorder On The Drag Rate In Double Quantum-Wire Systems, B. Tanatar

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the Coulomb drag rate for electrons in a double quantum-wire structure in the presence of disorder. We use the particle number-conserving relaxation-time approximation to phenomenologically broaden the response functions entering the drag rate expression to account for the disorder effects. In contrast to the usual low-temperature regime investigated by various researchers, we focus our attention on the high-temperature drag rate to which plasmon modes are known to make substantial contribution. The full wave vector and frequency dependent random-phase approximation (RPA) at finite temperature and disorder strength is employed to describe the effective interlayer Coulomb interaction. The interplay between …

Steady States Of Dynamically Coupled Two-Species Systems, Muntasi̇r Barma, Sri̇ram Ramaswamy Jan 2000

Steady States Of Dynamically Coupled Two-Species Systems, Muntasi̇r Barma, Sri̇ram Ramaswamy

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the steady states of two stochastic lattice models with two species of particles, where the local mobility of one species depends on the spatial distribution of the other. The eigenvalues of a $2\times 2$ matrix of couplings can develop imaginary parts, and the question arises whether this implies an instability to a macroscopically different steady state. In the first model, where the mobility depends on the local density of the other species, we show that the system undergoes macroscopic phase separation. In the second model, where the mobility depends on the second derivative of the density of the …


The Radius Cutoff For Relativistic Clusters, M. Hafizi Jan 2000

The Radius Cutoff For Relativistic Clusters, M. Hafizi

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work we consider an isothermic relativistic kinetic gas under relativistic conditions, as a model for high center density galaxies. We apply the radius cutoff of the Emden type, in order to remove infinities. Numerically we find some theoretical configurations with very high values of masses concentrated in small volumes. Profiles of some thermodynamic quantities such as density, presure, will be independent from the choice of radius cutoff, whereas temperature and gravitational potential depend essentially on the cutoff value.

Radioluminescent Properties Of Cds(Ag) Crystals, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, F. Esen Özsan

Turkish Journal of Physics

The radioluminescent proporties of silver-doped cadmium sulphide, CdS(Ag), crystals excited by 5.5 MeV $ \alpha $-particles from an $ ^{241}$Am radioactive source have been investigated. The emission spectra, decay profiles and thermal quenching curves were obtained accurately at temperatures between 80 K and 300 K. Two main radioluminescent emission bands centered at about 5760 \AA\ and 5940 \AA\ were observed. Their decay curves were found to be fast and nonexponential. From the thermal quenching of radioluminescence, the activation energies of centers responsible for these emissions were determined. The results are interpreted as the radioluminescence is possibly due to donor-acceptor pair …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Films of CdS for photovoltaic devices were electrochemically deposited on tin oxide coated glass substrates at different conditions. The films were found to be smooth and uniform with a small grain size. X-ray diffraction measurement and analysis indicated a hexagonal phase rather than the cubic phase. The surface composition of the films was investigated by Auger Spectroscopy. Electrochemical deposition parameters were studied to obtain the optimum conditions for the best CdS films. Our films are compared from the pinhole number and particulate point of view with the films prepared by other methods.

X-Ray Diffraction Study Of Heat-Treated Graphitized And Ungraphitized Carbon, Rizwan Hussain, Riaz Qadeer, Mahmood Ahmad, M. Saleem Jan 2000

X-Ray Diffraction Study Of Heat-Treated Graphitized And Ungraphitized Carbon, Rizwan Hussain, Riaz Qadeer, Mahmood Ahmad, M. Saleem

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Heat treatment of graphitized and ungraphitized carbon samples was carried out in air and argon atmosphere from ambient temperature to 700$^{\circ}$C. The changes in degree of amorphousness, mean crystallite size and interlayer separations were studied employing x-ray diffraction. The results revealed an increase in crystallinity when graphitized carbon was heated to 100 ^oC and above. This enhanced degree of arrangement is indicative of the removal of residual impurities entrapped during the production processes. In ungraphitized carbon, the transition from amorphous to crystalline character was not observed upon heat treatment.
