Calculation Of The Potential And Electric Flux Lines For Parallel Plate Capacitors With Symmetrically Placed Equal Lengths By Using The Method Of Conformal Mapping, Erhan Albayrak Jan 2001

Calculation Of The Potential And Electric Flux Lines For Parallel Plate Capacitors With Symmetrically Placed Equal Lengths By Using The Method Of Conformal Mapping, Erhan Albayrak

Turkish Journal of Physics

The classical problem of the parallel-plate capacitors has been investigated by a number of authors, including Love [1], Langton [2] and Lin [3]. In this paper, the exact equipotentials and electric flux lines of symmetrically placed two thin conducting plates are obtained using the Schwarz- Cristoffel transformation and the method of conformal mapping. The coordinates x , y in the z-plane corresponding to the constant electric flux lines and equipotential lines are obtained after very detailed and cumbersome calculations. The complete field distribution is given by constructing the family of lines of electric flux and equipotential.

Study Of Slip Systems In Epidote Single Crystal, Salah-Ud Din, Munnawar Ahmad, Shahzad Chishti

Turkish Journal of Physics

Measurements of microhardness anisotropy by Knoop diamond indentations on the prismatic (100) planes of epidote crystals, point group 2/m and space group P21/m, show that microhardness is determined by crystallographic slip on the (100) systems. Microhardness anisotropy is explained in terms of the effective resolved shear stress distribution in these slip systems.

Computation Of Overlap, Kinetic And Nuclear Attraction Integrals By A Novel Method, Gökhan Budak, Abdulhali̇k Karabulut, Lütfü Demi̇r, Nagi̇f Sefteroğlu Nabi̇yev, Yusuf Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

A new way of computing overlap, kinetic and nuclear attraction integrals over Slater functions by means of optimized Gaussian expansion is proposed. This article is concerned with the construction of the general algorithm for evaluating the three integrals. These integral formulae presented in the form of a series whose terms are the analytical function of inter-atomic distances. In the present method, unlike many other popular methods, the numerical integration procedure is unnecessary since it does not contain the incomplete gamma function. The present scheme has been programmed in standard Fortran-77 and tested for various orbitals. The result of the calculation …

Computational Study For The Structural Change Of The System Cdte_{1-X} S_X Thin Film, Emad Khdayer Al-Shakarchi

Turkish Journal of Physics

Polycrystalline thin film of the graded system CdTe_{1-x}S_{x} for x=0,0.1,\ldots,1 are prepared by using thermal evaporation technique deposited on the glass substrate with an average thickness 3000 Å for each individual value of x . XRD technique is used with the aid of a computational program to study the phase change from cubic zinc blend structure to hexagonal wurtzite with an inversion point related to the x-value. It is found that x=0.1 gives us an inversion point in the structural change from cubic to hexagonal phase.

Built-In Potential Measurements In A-Si:H P-I-N Solar Cells, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, Bengü Kaplan

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have measured the open-circuit voltage V_{oc} and the short-circuit current density J_{sc} of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) p-i-n solar cells deposited by radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) at different monochromatic illuminations, and temperatures. From the measurements, the built-in potential V_{bi} was determined by using two different methods: activation energy and differential temperature. The results from both methods were analyzed and compared as a function of excitation wavelength. It was observed that there is good agreement between the two methods. We found that V_{bi} increases until about 650 nm, and then decreases with increasing wavelength. This behaviour is explained and …

Coproduct Of Su_{Q} (2), Coherent States And Four Point Function With Logarithmic Regge Trajectories, M. Arik, Ayşe Peker-Dobie

Turkish Journal of Physics

The representation of the operators belonging to a 2 \times 2 SU_q (2) matrix yield a Hilbert space H. The coproducts of these operators define a Hilbert space H^{(2)} isomorphic to H and canonically embedded in H \otimes H. The four-point function obtained by taking the scalar product of the ground state of H^{(2)} with the coherent states in H \otimes H is uniquely defined, is meromorphic and has Regge behaviour.

On The Evaluation Of Determinantal Wave Functions In Open-Shell Hartree-Fock Theory, I. I. Guseinov, Ramazan Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

Slater method is modified for the evaluation of determinantal wave functions appearing in open-shell Hartree-Fock (HF) theory [1]. Using modified Slater method we have calculated, as an example, the orbital energies and the wave functions of terms obtained from the electronic configuration of a ground state of an N-atom system in the Hartree-Fock-Roothaan (HFR) approximation. The modified determinantal method introduced in this paper can be of considerable help and importance in the simplification and calculation of atomic and molecular electronic structure.

In this work we have studied the electronic mobility \mu within a completely disordered lattice system by using the strong interatomic hopping potential V(r) = ( - {\frac{{r}}{{a_{o}} }}) \exp( - r / a_{o} ) for site representation of the Hamiltonian. It is shown that a metallic system of a completely disordered lattice first goes insulating and then goes back to metallic again at higher atomic density \rho .

Autoionization Resonances In The Simultaneous Excitation-Ionization Of Helium, Mevlut Dogan, Albert Crowe

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effect of autoionizing states on excitation-ionization processes has been investigated experimentally by observation of the electron impact ionization process leading to He^{ + }(2p) with the excitation energy region in helium corresponding to doubly excitated states above the second ionization threshold. Also, the process arising from the decay of the doubly excited `parity unfavoured' (2p^{2})^{3}P state of helium, is studied.

Production And Structure Of Rapidly Solidified Al-Si Alloys, Orhan Uzun, Tuncay Karaaslan, Mustafa Keski̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

Al-Si alloys with compositions 8, 12, 16wt% Si were manufactured by chill casting and melt-spinning (MS) methods. The resulting ribbon samples have been characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometry and compared with their ingot counterparts. Microstructural examinations revealed that microstructures of the melt-spun ribbons were quite fine compared to their ingot counterparts. Both XRD analyses and microstructural examinations indicated that the solubility of Si in \alpha -Al phase was nearly complete.

Turkish Journal of Physics

The aging behavior of CuZnAl martensites (Cu-21.62 wt.% Zn-5.68 wt.% Al and Cu-24.98 wt.% Zn-4.43 wt.% Al) at about 297 K was studied by analyzing diffraction line profiles obtained by X-ray diffractometry. For the alloys, the change of the lattice parameters and the tetragonality associated with the aging time at room temperature were investigated. The habit planes versus the aging time at room temperature were calculated using the De Vos-Aernoundt-Delaey model, based on the crystallographic theory of Wechsler-Lieberman-Read(WLR), and from the DO_{3}\rightarrow 18R martensite transformation theory.

Turkish Journal of Physics

Multiparticle equations for scalar particles are derived in the framework of the Lagrangian formalism of field theory as a consequence of the Dyson-Schwinger equations for the generating functional of Green's functions. The general form of the n-particle equation is determined. The formula for the kernel of the equation is obtained. It makes possible to use the functional methods for the investigation of the equation. It is proven that the equation is correct in the lower orders for two-particle Green's functions.
