Study Of The Effectiveness Of Various Solar Wind Parameters In The Development Of Geomagnetic Storms During Interplanetary Events, -- Badruddin Jan 2002

Study Of The Effectiveness Of Various Solar Wind Parameters In The Development Of Geomagnetic Storms During Interplanetary Events, -- Badruddin

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have selected some interplanetary events responsible for geomagnetic disturbances of varying magnitude, fairly different from one another. We then tried to find the heliospheric structure (e.g. shock/sheath and/or CME/magnetic cloud) responsible for individual disturbances. We have discussed and inter-compared these structures in their plasma and field parameters as well as in their geomagnetic effects. As a parameter for geomagnetic disturbance we have chosen index Dst, to compare it with variations in field and plasma to heliospheric response structures. We considered parameters such as total field strength, its north-south component, solar wind density, temperature and velocity. In addition, we have …

Turkish Journal of Physics

Near bandedge optical absorption processes in semi-insulating (SI) GaAs and Te-doped n-type GaAs crystals were investigated in the temperature range 10--300 K. We observed absorption peaks whose maximum energies E_{m}, ranging from 1.498 to 1.485 eV decrease as the temperature increases from 10 K to 100 K. The peaks for both SI and n-type GaAs disappeared above 100 K. Extrapolating the graphs of E$_{g}-E_{m} versus temperature, we observed that near bandedge absorption is overlapped by the conduction band at about 220 K and 260 K for n-type and SI samples, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the absorption in the region …

Kinetics Of Light-Induced Metastable Defect Creation And Annealing In A-Si:H, Alp Osman Kodolbaş, Aynur Eray, Özcan Öktü

Turkish Journal of Physics

Constant Photocurrent Method (CPM) and steady state photoconductivity measurements are used to investigate the creation of light-induced metastable defects in a-Si:H at room temperature and their annealing. Light-induced metastable defect concentration N$_{d}$ varies with exposure time t_{e}as t_{e}^{r} with r=0.34\ pm 0.02, as expected from the recombination induced weak bond breaking model [1]. The validity of a stretched exponential model is also studied [2]. From the annealing experiments, the distribution of thermal annealing activation energies is calculated following the method proposed by Hata and Wagner [3]. Defects created at room temperature show a narrow distribution of annealing activation energies peaking …

Turkish Journal of Physics

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of thermal annealing on hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous silicon a-Si:H films. Hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous films were seperately coated on glass and single cyrstalline silicon substrates by means of d.c. magnetron sputtering technique. a-Si:H/glass and a-Si:H/c-Si samples were annealed in the temperature range of 23-250^oC, 23-200^oC and 600-1050^oC, respectively. The effect of annealing on the a-Si:H films were examined by means of Infrared vibrational transmittance spectrum technique (IR) in the wavenumber range 4000-400 cm^{-1} and Scanning Electron Microsope (SEM). The results were interpreted in terms of hydrogen diffusion.

Preparation And Anisotropic Elastic Property Of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Whiskers, Khaliq A. Chaudhary, M. Arshad Choudhry

Turkish Journal of Physics

Flexible and superconducting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O whiskers have been prepared by sintering the melt-quenched glassy powder at 830^oC in oxygen atmosphere. X-ray diffraction and a.c. susceptibility measurements reveal that the whiskers belong to 2212 phase with T_{c} = 79k. The whiskers possess high strength and flexibility along c-axis but were found to be weak and brittle when bent normal to the c-axis. The anisotropic micromechanical elastic property of the whiskers have been demonstrated under a low power optical microscope.

Filamentation Of Light Emission In An Infrared-Visible Image Converter With A Semiconductor Photodetector, Hi̇lal Yücel Kurt, H. S. Kiymaz, B. G. Salamov, K. Çolakoğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

This work studies the light emission patterns associated with the spatial modulation of the transversal distribution of the current density in a converter cell with a GaAs semiconductor cathode. Such light emission exhibits spatial structures of current filaments depending on the feeding voltage, illumination intensity, gas pressure and the surface treatment of the electrodes. When the current is increased above the stable limit, breakdown or small current filamentations begin. However, n-GaAs exhibits an S-shaped current-density-field relation due to impact ionization of carriers from shallow donors into the conduction band under high electric fields. The assessment of the filament formation is …

On Numerical Simulations Of Composite Dielectrics In Thermally Stimulated Conditions, Eni̇s Tuncer, Stanislaw M. Gubanski

Turkish Journal of Physics

A binary composite system with particulated inclusions was considered. First, thermally stimulated depolarization ({\sc tsd}) currents of the system were simulated by altering different parameters of the {\sc tsd} current equation, {\em i.e.}, intrinsic dielectric properties of constituents, conductivity of inclusions, heating rate and activation energy of inclusion conductivity and shape of inclusions. Two different methods of finding the activation energy of {\sc tsd} processes from the simulated {\sc tsd} currents were discussed. Second, we have included the Monte Carlo technique by assuming that the shape factor of inclusions were distributed. These simulations have shown that if the inclusions were …


The B --> S G G Decay In The General Two Higgs Doublet Model, E. O. İltan Jan 2002

The B --> S G G Decay In The General Two Higgs Doublet Model, E. O. İltan

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the decay width of the inclusive process b --> s g g in the two Higgs doublet model with three-level flavor changing neutral currents (model III). We analyse the dependencies of the differential decay width to the s- quark energy E_s and model III parameters, charged Higgs mass m_H_{^{±}} and Yukawa coupling \bar{\xi}_{N,bb}^D. We observe that there exist a considerable enhancement in the decay width for the relevant process. This enhancement can be reduced by choosing C_7^{eff} as negative or increasing the lower bound of m_H_{^{±}} to the large values. This is an interesting result which gives an …

The Electron-Photon Coincidence Method And Its Application To Excitation Of The 2p State Of Atomic Hydrogen, Hüseyi̇n Ali̇ Yalim, Albert Crowe Jan 2002

The Electron-Photon Coincidence Method And Its Application To Excitation Of The 2p State Of Atomic Hydrogen, Hüseyi̇n Ali̇ Yalim, Albert Crowe

Turkish Journal of Physics

Early measurements of atomic excitation by electron scattering observed either the scattered electron or decay photon. An excited state can not be completely defined by such experiments due to loss of information. Therefore a new method was developed in the early 70's called the correlation method. The new correlation method involves the detection of both the scattered electron and photon arising from the same collision using coincidence techniques. This method enables a full description of an excited state. In this paper, we give a discussion of to the method and its application to excitation of the 2p state of atomic …
