Annealing Effect Of Gold Thin Films On The Light Output Performances Of Organic Light Emitting Diodes, Seli̇n Piravadili Mucur, Emi̇ne Teki̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

Gold thin films (GTFs) are transferred onto a nanostructured surface and their effects on the characteristics of organic light emitting diodes (OLED) are investigated. GTF deposition is realized by the physical vapor deposition technique under high vacuum. Globose gold nanostructures are successfully generated by annealing GTFs at different temperatures. Atomic force microscopy reveals morphological changes affected by film thicknesses and annealing temperatures. In the tailored device architecture, GTFs, [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrenesulfonate) and poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene are used as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, and an emissive layer, respectively. The performances of the fabricated OLEDs are enhanced in the presence …


On Oxygen-Rich Sr Variables In The Solar Neighborhood, Tuncay Özdemi̇r Jan 2018

On Oxygen-Rich Sr Variables In The Solar Neighborhood, Tuncay Özdemi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

Brightness distribution of variable stars was investigated based on good Hipparcos parallaxes of semiregular variables (SRVs) in the solar neighborhood, and it is shown that the order of the variability types Lb, SR, SRb, SRa, and Mira is, statistically, an order of increasing brightness along the red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch. In addition, it is also shown that the majority of Miras are above and majority of SRVs are below the tip of the red giant branch. The periods of SRVs that fall in Wood's sequence C (fundamental mode) of large Magellanic clouds were identified. Statistically, the order …


Field Electron Emission Area Revisited: An Integrated Method For The Area Extraction Model, Ahmed Abdulrahman Al-Tabbakh Jan 2018

Field Electron Emission Area Revisited: An Integrated Method For The Area Extraction Model, Ahmed Abdulrahman Al-Tabbakh

Turkish Journal of Physics

For electron field emitters, the emitter's physical and geometrical parameters, namely the emitter work function and its geometrical factor, are extracted from the slope of the Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot. The literature contains few investigations and reviews of extended parameter extraction models based on the slope and intercept of the FN plot. However, due to the complexity of these reviews, there is a great need for an integrated approach to the area extraction model whereby a simplified account of the derivation and implementation of the model is presented and made convenient, especially for scholars other than physicists and engineers. This is …


Surface Effect In Explaining The Elastic Scattering Of The $\Alpha +^{12}$C System At Low Energies, Yasemi̇n Küçük Jan 2018

Surface Effect In Explaining The Elastic Scattering Of The $\Alpha +^{12}$C System At Low Energies, Yasemi̇n Küçük

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, the elastic scattering angular distributions data of the $\alpha +$12C reaction at an energy range of 13.0 to 172.5 MeV were analyzed within the framework of optical model formalism. A phenomenological deep real potential was used with a phenomenological Woods-Saxon type imaginary potential. Excellent agreement was obtained in the high-energy region. The phenomenological deep potential was unable to explain the experimental data in the low-energy region. The experimental data at both low and high energies could not be explained at the same time. In order to explain the data simultaneously at low energy and high energy, the …


Investigation Of The Influence Of Various Reflector Elements Material Types On The Core Nuclear Parameters Of The 2 Mw Triga Mark-Ii Research Reactor Using The Monte Carlo Code, Abdelaziz Darif, Abdelouahed Chetaine, Mohammed Mghar, Ouadie Kabach Jan 2018

Investigation Of The Influence Of Various Reflector Elements Material Types On The Core Nuclear Parameters Of The 2 Mw Triga Mark-Ii Research Reactor Using The Monte Carlo Code, Abdelaziz Darif, Abdelouahed Chetaine, Mohammed Mghar, Ouadie Kabach

Turkish Journal of Physics

The influence of variation in the kind of material of neutron reflector elements on the core neutronic parameters of the Moroccan Triga Mark-II research reactor was examined. The comparison was made between three kinds of reflector element materials: graphite, beryllium, and beryllium oxide. MCNP5 Monte Carlo computations of the effective neutron multiplication factor (${k}_{{eff}})$ of the reactor according to the number of reflector material elements inserted in the reactor core for these three reflector elements materials families were carried out. The results found could be used in order to increase the ${k}_{{eff}}$ parameter without changing the size of the reactor.


Quark Gluon Plasma And Upsilon Suppression, Rismita Ghosh, Aparajita Bhattacharya, Ballari Chakrabarti Jan 2018

Quark Gluon Plasma And Upsilon Suppression, Rismita Ghosh, Aparajita Bhattacharya, Ballari Chakrabarti

Turkish Journal of Physics

The time-dependent suppression probability P(t) of upsilon particles has been estimated due to the screening when embedded in the medium of quark gluon plasma where the screened potential is represented by an optical potential of type $V(r,\lambda) = - [\frac{V_{0}+iW_{0}}{1+exp((r-R)\lambda)}]$. A similar type of variation of suppression probability has been obtained by others. It has been observed that $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ for melting of $\Upsilon$ is $\sim$ 1.5 fm/c. The variation of the screening radii of heavy mesons $(J/\psi, \Upsilon)$ for 1S and 2S states with respect to plasma radius have also been investigated with the same complex screening potential. We have …


Bessel And Bessel Vortex Beams Generated By Blunt-Tip Axicon, Ramazan Şahi̇n Jan 2018

Bessel And Bessel Vortex Beams Generated By Blunt-Tip Axicon, Ramazan Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

A theoretical prediction of the propagation characteristics of Laguerre--Gaussian beams after passing through a blunt-tip axicon is presented. An ideal axicon generates theoretically perfect diffraction-free and smooth-on-axis intensity Bessel beams, while experiments and calculations show that a zeroth-order Bessel beam deviates from its perfect behavior. Strong intensity modulation occurs due to interference around the center of the beam. The origin of these oscillations should be explored to increase the quality of beam shaping. This research shows that these oscillations can be reduced by stopping the beam center for a small portion or by optimizing input beam parameters. On the other …


A Note On Noncompact And Nonmetricit Quadratic Curvature Gravity Theories, Suat Dengi̇z Jan 2018

A Note On Noncompact And Nonmetricit Quadratic Curvature Gravity Theories, Suat Dengi̇z

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this note, we evaluate the Weyl-invariant quadratic curvature tensors for the particular Weyl gauge field constructed in the $3+1$-dimensional noncompact Weyl-Einstein-Yang-Mills model. We subsequently extend the model to its higher curvature version. We also compute the Weyl-invariant extension of the topological Gauss-Bonnet term for this specific choice of vector field.


Predictions On Three-Particle Azimuthal Correlations In Proton-Proton Collisions, Şener Özönder Jan 2018

Predictions On Three-Particle Azimuthal Correlations In Proton-Proton Collisions, Şener Özönder

Turkish Journal of Physics

The ridge signal, which is long-ranged in rapidity, in di-hadron correlations in high-multiplicity p-p and p-A collisions opened up a whole new research area in high-energy QCD. Although the ridge had been observed in A-A collisions and interpreted as a result of the radial flow of quark-gluon plasma, it had not appeared until recently in the data of small collision systems such as p-p and p-A, nor had it been predicted theoretically or seen in event generators. There are two competing approaches that attempt to explain the systematics of the di-hadron ridge signal: hydrodynamics and gluon saturation physics (color glass …


Cycloid Experiment For Freshmen Physics Labs, Resat Akoglu, Seyedhabibollah Mazharimousavi, Mustafa Halilsoy Jan 2018

Cycloid Experiment For Freshmen Physics Labs, Resat Akoglu, Seyedhabibollah Mazharimousavi, Mustafa Halilsoy

Turkish Journal of Physics

We establish an instructive experiment to investigate the minimum time curve traveled by a small billiard ball rolling in a grooved track under gravity. Our intention is to popularize the concept of minimum time curves anew for pedagogical reasons and to propose it as a feasible physics experiment both for freshmen and sophomore classes. The experiment is simplified enough to provide motivation for the students. We observed that even the students who were not physics majors enjoyed such a cycloid experiment.


Characterizing Decaying Dark Matter: X-Ray Emission From Sterile Neutrinos, Murat Hüdaverdi̇ Jan 2018

Characterizing Decaying Dark Matter: X-Ray Emission From Sterile Neutrinos, Murat Hüdaverdi̇

Turkish Journal of Physics

Recently, an unknown emission line at E $\sim$3.5 keV from several astrophysical objects has been detected. The line is suggested to be originating from decaying dark matter particles. The results have drawn great attention from the astrophysics and particle physics community. Since the detected line is significantly weak there has also been a long debate over the origin of this mysterious signal. The most accepted scenario is a radiatively decaying sterile neutrino of 7.1 keV in mass producing a monochromatic 3.5 keV line, which is observable in X-ray energy ranges. The problem has not been settled and further observations from …


Design Of A Multifunctional Sample Probe For Transport Measurements, Mustafa Öztürk, Numan Akdoğan Jan 2018

Design Of A Multifunctional Sample Probe For Transport Measurements, Mustafa Öztürk, Numan Akdoğan

Turkish Journal of Physics

Herein, we describe a multifunctional sample probe equipped with a two-axis goniometer for transport measurements. The two-axis goniometer enables both computer-controlled 360$^{\circ}$ out-of-plane and manual 360$^{\circ}$ in-plane rotations. The multifunctional sample probe was successfully implemented to a host dewar and an electromagnet system. The developed probe is capable of performing transport measurements while fully controlling the parameters such as the magnetic and electrical fields, the angle, the temperature, and the current/voltage parameters in a wide range. The design of the multifunctional sample probe allows easy installation into different dewar and magnet systems and connection of a wide range of external …


Dimension Of Quantum Mechanical Path, Chain Rule, And Extension Of Landau's Energy Straggling Method Using $F^\Alpha$-Calculus, Saleh Ashrafi, Ali Khalili Golmankhaneh Jan 2018

Dimension Of Quantum Mechanical Path, Chain Rule, And Extension Of Landau's Energy Straggling Method Using $F^\Alpha$-Calculus, Saleh Ashrafi, Ali Khalili Golmankhaneh

Turkish Journal of Physics

$F^\alpha$-calculus was recently presented for fractals. We show that the $F^\alpha$-derivative satisfies the chain rule and affirms that the dimension of a quantum mechanical path is two. $F^\alpha$-calculus allows us to extend quantum mechanics to fractal curves. To show the applicability of $F^\alpha$-calculus, we study the fractal model of a particle in a box. $F^\alpha$-calculus is suitable for describing the motion of particles with a fractal route through matter. In addition, we extend Landau's energy straggling method of charged particles to fractals.


Super Inflation Mechanism And Dark Energy From A Cosmological Entropy Perspective, Ali̇ İhsan Keski̇n Jan 2018

Super Inflation Mechanism And Dark Energy From A Cosmological Entropy Perspective, Ali̇ İhsan Keski̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

Various approaches are developed that provide a unification of the early inflationary epoch of the universe and dark energy (cosmic accelerating expansion case). In one respect, we express this unification in a universal thermodynamic framework within the context of $F\left( T,T_{G} \right)$ gravity, where $T$ represents the torsion invariant and $T_{G}$ is the teleparallel equivalent of the Gauss--Bonnet term. For a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe model bounded by the dynamical apparent horizon, we explore the generalized second law of gravitational thermodynamics (GSLT). Finally, we discuss the super inflation mechanism, the deceleration case (radiation and dust regions), and the late time cosmic acceleration …


Permanent Magnet Motion In A Copper Tube, Jaroslav Franek, Martin Soka Jan 2018

Permanent Magnet Motion In A Copper Tube, Jaroslav Franek, Martin Soka

Turkish Journal of Physics

This paper deals with the investigation of braking forces induced by eddy currents, which have effects on the permanent magnet moving at a constant speed in the direction of the conductive tube axis. The analysis is based on calculation of an action of a force between the current density, representing the magnet, and the eddy currents. The chosen solution is based on classical electrodynamics and can serve as a guide for the calculation of other cases, where braking forces are created between the moving cell, which is a source of the magnetic field, and a close conductive subject. The obtained …

The Influence Of Deposit Composition Controlled By Changing The Relative Fe Ion Concentration On Properties Of Electroplated Nanocrystalline Co-Fe-Cu Ternary Thin Films, Umut Saraç, Mali̇k Kaya, Mevlana Celaletti̇n Baykul

Turkish Journal of Physics

Ternary Co-Fe-Cu thin films with 78.5-92.4 at.% Co, 4.1-17.9 at.% Fe, and 3.1-3.6 at.% Cu were electroplated at ambient temperature from electrolytes with different relative Fe ion concentrations with respect to the Co ion concentration on the glass substrates coated with indium tin oxide (ITO). It was revealed that the Fe is more easily deposited than Co for all electrolyte conditions. The phase structure of the films changed from a mixture of hcp Co and fcc/hcp Co to a mixture of fcc/hcp Co and bcc Fe and the mean crystallite size diminished with increasing Fe content within the deposits. A …


Control Of Laser-Induced Nonadiabatic Molecular Alignment In Dissipative Media, Gamze Kaya Jan 2018

Control Of Laser-Induced Nonadiabatic Molecular Alignment In Dissipative Media, Gamze Kaya

Turkish Journal of Physics

Laser-induced nonadiabatic alignment in nitrogen and mixtures of nitrogen with Ar gas was investigated using the ultrafast optical Kerr effect in the collinear pump-probe setup. We find that dissipative media produce desired alignment characteristics in distinct manners to decoherence and to population relaxation. The results show that the intense laser alignment can be used as a control tool of molecular dynamics in dissipative environments.


Theory And Application Of Hydrogen Formation In Proton-Alkali Atom Collision, Sabbah Abdelwahab Elkilany Jan 2018

Theory And Application Of Hydrogen Formation In Proton-Alkali Atom Collision, Sabbah Abdelwahab Elkilany

Turkish Journal of Physics

The possibility of producing more hydrogen during p-alkali atom collisions is discussed. The coupled static approximation is modified for the first time to make it applicable to the multichannel problem of the collisions of p-alkali atoms. The formation of H (1s) and excited H (in 2s- and 2p- states) in the scattering of p-Li atoms is treated to test the convergence of our method. The modified method is used to calculate the total cross-sections of seven partial waves in a range of energy between 50 and 1000 keV. Our p-Li results are compared with earlier ones.

Photon In A Cylindrical Resonant Cavity, Cavi̇t Teki̇nçay, Yusuf Sucu

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, the massless and massive spin-1 particle equations, derived from the excited states of the zitterbewegung model, are considered for the photon in the cylindrical resonant cavity background. The resonant frequencies of the particles are also obtained. We show that these frequencies become equivalent in the $M^{2}\to 0$ limit.


Symmetry Reduction Of The First Heavenly Equation And $2+1$-Dimensional Bi-Hamiltonian System, Devri̇m Yazici Jan 2018

Symmetry Reduction Of The First Heavenly Equation And $2+1$-Dimensional Bi-Hamiltonian System, Devri̇m Yazici

Turkish Journal of Physics

The first heavenly equation of Plebanski in the two-component form is known to be a $3+1$-dimensional tri-Hamiltonian system. We show that a particular choice of symmetry reduction applied to the first heavenly equation yields a $2+1$-dimensional bi-Hamiltonian system. For this tri-dimensional system, we present Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and recursion operators; point symmetries; and integrals of motions.


Quantum Many-Body Interactions In The Presence Of Disordered Potentials, Riza Oğul Jan 2018

Quantum Many-Body Interactions In The Presence Of Disordered Potentials, Riza Oğul

Turkish Journal of Physics

The time evolution of the quantum nonequilibrium states of many-body particles is described with a set of hierarchies of quantum kinetic equations with quantum wave functions. A collision term is obtained in terms of two-body interactions in the mean-field with a disordered potential, which is proposed for the first time. The implications and the limits of applicability of the resulting kinetic equations are discussed.

Thermodynamics Of Cosmological Models With Generalized $G$ And $\Lambda $, M Saratchandra Singh, Sanasam Surendra Singh

Turkish Journal of Physics

Here we investigate spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space-time models of the universe to study the thermodynamic behaviors in light of variables $G$ and $\Lambda $. A particular method to find the solutions of Einstein's field equations and mathematical expressions for temperature and entropy of the perfect fluid cosmological models is introduced by using both the equation of state and the assumption $G=G_{0} \,a^{n}$. It is observed that the phantom field of ($\omega

Spectral Properties Of The Galactic Supernova Remnant Vela Jr. (G266.2-1.2) Using Chandra, Nergi̇s Cesur, Aytap Sezer, Murat Hüdaverdi̇

Turkish Journal of Physics

An X-ray nonthermal spectral investigation of the galactic shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) Vela Jr. using archival data from Chandra for the northern and northwestern rims of the SNR is presented. Spectra were extracted from four emission regions in these rims (three in the northwestern rim and one in the northern). The X-ray spectra of the northwestern rim were well reproduced by a single power-law and the synchrotron model srcut, and for the north rim, the spectra were fitted by a single and a broken power-law, respectively. The spectra of both rims show no line emission. Each spectrum was fit by …


Monte Carlo Simulation Of Dynamic Phase Transition Properties Of Core-Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles With Similar Volumes, Erol Vatansever Jan 2018

Monte Carlo Simulation Of Dynamic Phase Transition Properties Of Core-Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles With Similar Volumes, Erol Vatansever

Turkish Journal of Physics

We implement Monte Carlo simulations to determine dynamic phase transition features of both cubical and spherical nanoparticles composed of spin-1/2 cores surrounded by a spin-1 shell layer. The particles are subjected to an oscillating magnetic field. We plan these particles such that they have similar volumes. It is observed that the nonequilibrium magnetic phase transition temperatures of the particles with similar volumes explicitly depend on their geometrical shapes as well as the system parameters. The cubic one has a higher transition temperature than the spherical one for the small interface coupling, whereas the transition temperature of the spherical particle becomes …

Density Functional Theory Of Cubic Zirconia And 6-15 Mol% Doped Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia: Structural And Mechanical Properties, Berna Akgenç, Tahi̇r Çağin

Turkish Journal of Physics

Results of ab-initio density-functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA-PBE) of structural and mechanical properties of cubic zirconia and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with yttria (Y$_{2}$O$_{3})$ concentrations of 6.67, 10.34, and 14.28 mol% are reported. It is found that the calculated structural and mechanical parameters of all considered structures are highly consistent with the existing experimental data and the other theoretical values. The doping concentration of yttria-stabilized zirconia has critical importance in ionic conductivity and stabilization of high temperature down to room temperature. The lattice parameter and cell volume linearly decrease with increases in doping concentration. Moreover, the effects …

A Minimal Fermion-Scalar Preonic Model, Ümi̇t Kaya, Bi̇lgehan Bariş Öner, Saleh Sultanov Jan 2018

A Minimal Fermion-Scalar Preonic Model, Ümi̇t Kaya, Bi̇lgehan Bariş Öner, Saleh Sultanov

Turkish Journal of Physics

A minimal fermion-scalar preonic model containing two fermionic preons and one scalar preon is proposed. This scheme allows prevention of the occurrence of undesired SM-level particles, namely leptons and quarks with unusual electric charges. Similar to the previous FS models, color-octet leptons and color-sextet quarks, which are expected to have masses much lower than the compositeness scale, are predicted. Observation of these particles could provide first indications of preonic models. The FCC/SppC pp option will give an opportunity to probe $m_{q_{6}}$ up to 48/75 TeV and $m_{l_{8}}$ up to 15/27 TeV within 1 year of operation at nominal luminosity. FCC/SppC …

Turkish Journal of Physics

Structural characterization and magnetic properties of Zn-substituted Li ferrites with composition \linebreak Zn$_{x}$Li$_{0.45-x/2}$Fe$_{2.55-x/2}$O$_{4}$ (where x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) were studied by varying sintering temperature T$_{S}$ (where T$_{S}$ = 1000, 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200, and 1250 $^{\circ}$C) of the six samples. The single-phase cubic spinel structure was found by XRD patterns and scanning electron microscopy revealed the microstructure of all the samples. Permeability (real, $\mu_{i}'$ and imaginary, $\mu _{i}'')$ was found to increase with Zn substitution and also with sintering temperature. The real part of initial permeability ($\mu_{i}')$ was found to depend on the density and …


Solar Flare And Geomagnetic Activity Relations, Volkan Sarp, Ali̇ Kilçik Jan 2018

Solar Flare And Geomagnetic Activity Relations, Volkan Sarp, Ali̇ Kilçik

Turkish Journal of Physics

Two x-ray solar flare parameters (number of flares and peak flux) are compared to geomagnetic and space weather activity indices. The first solar flare parameter, X-ray solar flare number (SFN), is the total number of solar flares observed in a given month. The second one is the monthly maximum of X-ray solar flare peak fluxes (SFP). In order to compare these two parameters, both of them are cross-correlated with some other indices of geomagnetic activity (aa, Dst, and AE indices) and space weather (maximum coronal mass ejection speed index and solar wind speed). Maximum correlation was found ($\sim $0.63) between …
